housing is the gateway to opportunity, and to building a middle class life--and how too many families are locked out of it.

Senators Bennet, Portman, and Brown literally just reintroduced the bipartisan Eviction Crisis Act.

It is really a new day in my entire career, and I am thrilled with this panel and the work that they are going to do for our country.

We are also grateful to Senator Reed for his bill that would permanently authorize USICH.

For the first time in memory, we finally have an administration that puts workers at the forefront, at the center of our trade policy.

I am so appreciative of Senator Wyden's work, Chairman Wyden's work.

I would like to first recognize the hard work and the leadership of Chairman Bobby Scott and the entire Education and Labor Committee on this outstanding underlying bill. When older workers lose their jobs, they are much more likely to…

The USMCA agreement is a good example of what can happen when labor is at the table.

And we share the goals of the worker-centered trade policy. We actually need to listen to workers better...

It shows what elections mean. It shows how government can be on the side of working families and moderate low-income families.

I had opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal in 2015.
