Interest rates should be coming down, not going up.

After years of elevated borrowing costs, a rate increase is the opposite of the relief families and small businesses need.

After months of delay, I am disappointed but not surprised to see yet another attempt by tax-exempt organizations connected to Shanghai Singham to evade scrutiny.

Tax-exempt status is a privilege, not a right. When organizations that receive generous taxpayer-funded benefits refuse to comply with lawful congressional oversight about potential foreign influence, the American people have every right…

Make no mistake: Compliance with a congressional subpoena isn't optional, and the Committee will use all tools it has available to investigate whether foreign actors are exploiting our tax code to sow chaos and create division.

This database confirms what the Ways and Means Committee has been exposing for months: foreign money is flowing into America’s tax-exempt sector.

It is clear the status quo is unacceptable. Tax-exempt status is a privilege, not a right.

From the outside, it looks like a movement, but once you see how the money flows, it becomes clear that this is a machine.

For far too long, foreign influence and interference have plagued our tax-exempt sector.

Representative Moore’s legislation is a proactive, principled defense of a basic Constitutionally protected freedom in America. I commend him for leading the charge on ensuring our government does not infringe on religious liberty.

Faith-based organizations should not have their tax-exempt status threatened by federal regulators that disagree with one set of religious beliefs or another.

This decision, being made based on where the team can extract the most taxpayer dollars, reflects the reality that ultimately these teams, or at the very least their C-suite leadership, are more loyal to their bottom line than to their…

It’s about time he is brought to justice, and he is held accountable for his ties to the CCP.

Mr. Speaker, every taxpayer deserves the right to dispute IRS actions taken against them. We have a judicial system in place that exists to protect that right. Unfortunately, as the system stands today, the IRS can circumvent taxpayer…

It is disturbing to think that the IRS is allowed to tax survivors of sexual assault on the compensatory damages or the settlements that they have received. Such victims should not have to relitigate their case before the agency, adding…

I rise in support of H.R. 5366, the Doug LaMalfa Federal Disaster Tax Relief Certainty Act, bipartisan legislation introduced by Representatives Greg Steube, Mike Thompson, and Jimmy Panetta and named after our late colleague, Mr. Doug…

Mr. Speaker, whistleblowers play a critical role in government oversight, whether it be uncovering bad actors within government or, in the case of the IRS Whistleblower Program, alerting the IRS to those in the private sector who are…

It is disappointing, though sadly not surprising, that we have to legislate to modernize an agency like the IRS so that its operations are more user-friendly to the American taxpayer, but that is the reality that we are facing. The…

Many Americans have had to endure frustration and anxiety at the hands of the IRS bureaucracy when it comes to filing or waiting on their tax returns to be processed. Anything we can do to make this process more efficient and user-friendly…

Mr. Speaker, I think it is important to point out that 86,800 individuals in the district of the ranking member of the Tax Subcommittee, who was speaking before me, because of passage of this bill, those 86,800 families in California will…

You absolutely cannot make this stuff up that you are hearing from the other side of the aisle. When they talk about the affordability crisis, let's talk about the affordability crisis. Gas prices are the lowest they have been in 5 years…

Holy cow. The things that you hear from the other side in this body could not be so--not truthful-- false. They paint with a broad brush and say the most ridiculous items, saying that pregnancy resource centers do not help anyone. Give me…

I remind this body that the reason why these COVID-era tax credits expired is because the Democrats focused all their resources on helping their wealthy environmentalists with permanent tax credits for electric vehicles and solar panels.

A mother testifying before the Ways and Means Committee told us how it took ``hours of effort over months'' to protect her daughter from identity theft and that ``the threat will never completely go away unless she is assigned a new Social…
