Janus v. AFSCME comes down to a binary choice: will the U.S. stand up for the fundamental right of workers to form a union and collectively bargain; or will the Supreme Court allow large corporations to continue their assault on…

Today I rise to recognize Dr. Toby Cosgrove, an innovative leader and the recently retired president and CEO of the Cleveland Clinic Hospital System. I am fortunate to know Dr. Cosgrove personally, and I am privileged to call him a friend…

Tell me what the economic benefit, if you know, would be if we reduce benefits to a level that people can't even live on.

It was very productive, very insightful, and I thank you all.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And thank you for this hearing today.

The Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations Program and the Small Watershed Rehabilitation Program are important tools in our conservation toolkit.

We are very clear that TrumpCare really is a plan that benefits the young, the healthy, and the wealthy, and sort of punishes significantly the sick, the poor, and the elderly.
