Foreign subsidies and dumping that harm American workers have to be identified quickly and remedied.

I want to thank Mr. Lighthizer for being here today as the committee considers his nomination to be the U.S. Trade Representative.

I will tell you, I thought it was unfortunate that the President-elect missed an opportunity when Prime Minister Trudeau was here when he said, gee, all we need with Canada is a tweak.

I think the premiere economic issue of our time is how we get wages up for people.

I think USTR needs more resources.

I hope that by the end of this hearing Americans will have heard more detail about how the Trump administration plans to meet the extensive promises that were made in the 2016 campaign.

I think my colleague's point is well taken. As we have been saying, this is very much intertwined with the Seema Verma nomination because what we learned in the committee is, in Indiana, where she touts her pioneering work, if somebody had…

I thank my colleague, and we are going to prosecute this cause together. I see that the chairman of the Finance Committee has arrived. He graciously said I could take another 5 minutes or so of our time. Before we wrap up this part of our…

I thank her for her presentation. It was factual and very specific, and I think it really highlighted so many of the concerns that we have at this point. I want to see if I could get this straight on the opioid issue. Here you all are in…

As of this afternoon at 4, after hours and hours of debate, I am of the impression that not a single significant Democratic amendment has been adopted--so the Senator's point of highlighting the difference in the process, where we had all…

I thank my colleague. We have heard Republicans say repeatedly that anything they are going to do with Medicare is not going to hurt today's enrollees or people nearing retirement. The fact is, TrumpCare hurts both. It is going to shorten…

and colleagues, today the Senate turns to consider the nomination of Seema Verma to be the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. I would be the first to say that in coffee shops across the land, people are not…

My colleague is making a very important point. I think we all know the Senate budget process is a lot of complicated lingo. People in the coffee shops in New Hampshire and Oregon don't follow all the fine points of reconciliation. As the…

My colleague from Washington is ever logical. When I looked at this, I thought of it as an innovation desert because I was looking for some new, fresh ideas. We have seen some of them from Senator Cantwell's State, and I think the Senator…

I would only add that what we learned in our hearings and in our discussion is that women, particularly the women served by the Medicaid Program, are really dealing with the consequences of opioid addiction as well. In our part of the…

If I can add this, because I think my colleagues are making a very important point. If you look at the demographics, there are going to be 10,000 people turning 65 every day for years and years to come. Senators Stabenow and Cantwell are…

before my colleague from New Hampshire leaves, does she have a quick minute for a question?

here we are, with our colleagues on their way home, and I thought it would be helpful to take a minute and give an assessment of where the TrumpCare debate is at this point because we have seen the two major committees in the House act…

today I am reintroducing a bill honoring two Oregon legends--Frank and Jeanne Moore--who have spent their lives together on the North Umpqua River as fishers, stewards of the land, and hosts to visitors from across the world at the famous…

today I am introducing the Animal Welfare Accountability and Transparency Act. This bill is a necessary step to restoring public information on animal cruelty that was removed from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's, USDA, Animal and…

6 years ago this month, more than 100,000 Bahrainis of all ages and backgrounds joined together to protest their government. Although these men and women took to the streets peacefully, they were met with violence as the regime unleashed…

I think we do need to clarify this 702 issue, because it is critical to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

We need that number. We have sought it for years and years.

Will you commit now to getting us a response every 30 days until we get this question answered?

This administration, from day one, has preferred 'alternative facts' and convenient spin to the truth.
