The only winner from Donald Trump's trade chaos is China, which is scooping up markets and trading partners that Trump has driven away.

this inhumane, illegal, and unconstitutional action will inflict—and already has inflicted—irreparable harm on these individuals, undermines trust in and accuracy of the Social Security programs, and sets a dangerous precedent in allowing…

this is a choice for senators.

I must object to the Senate proceeding to the nomination of Sean Plankey of Pennsylvania, to be Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Department of Homeland Security. Since July 2022, I have repeatedly…

before she leaves the floor, let me thank Senator Klobuchar for her outstanding remarks. She and Senator Van Hollen have really made the case that we want a tax bill that gives everybody in America the chance to get ahead, not just the…

Colleagues, this amendment offered by Senator Hawley and myself says that $880 billion in Medicaid cuts have no place in this resolution. Right now, those cuts can be found on page 46, lines 3 through 7, and we ought to get rid of them…

I call up my amendment No. 1989 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Oregon [Mr. Wyden], for himself and Mr. Hawley, proposes an…

once again, Senator Sullivan is out here saying that he is for protecting vulnerable people, but by not defining the vulnerable, the Sullivan amendment is code for States to cut benefits or kick people off their coverage altogether. To me…

ahead of the Senate's final vote on the nomination of Dr. Mehmet Oz to head up the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, I want to take a couple minutes to describe what is at stake with this vote. Dr. Oz is the second Trump nominee…

this year marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the beloved classic film, ``The Goonies.'' With enduring and relatable themes of adventure, acceptance, and friendship, ``The Goonies'' has become one of the alltime great American…

just very briefly, my colleague says nothing is going to happen in the House to fight fraud. I have got to tell you that I don't see any fraud caucus out there in either the Senate or the House. There are no rallies for people who are…

first of all, I want it understood that we take a backseat to nobody--nobody--when it comes to fighting this fraud. That is why I negotiated a bipartisan package in the last Congress dealing with a host of issues relating to addressing…

I rise to support my colleague Senator Kaine's joint resolution to terminate the Trump order placing blanket tariffs on products Americans buy from Canada. I am going to start by saying, as the Ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance…

I listened very carefully to my colleague from Alabama, and I don't believe my colleague used the word ``fentanyl,'' and that is what we are concerned about in the Pacific Northwest. We are concerned that fentanyl has hit our country and…

Reserving the right to object, let me make sure we are clear with my friend because we do a lot of work together, and I am looking forward to continuing it. I don't see much to object to this afternoon. We both want to be all in on the…

No amount of gaslighting from Republicans about the true cost of their tax plan, now upward of $5 trillion, can hide the fact that they want to pay for handouts to billionaires and corporations by kicking millions of Americans off their…

I thank my colleague. I have been listening to this, a Herculean presentation, for hours and hours. Your remarks reflect the urgency of our times, Senator Booker, and I thank you for it. Let me frame the question this way: I hold…

4 years ago, I kicked off an investigation of Big Pharma's tax practices, the dodges and tricks these hugely profitable, multinational companies use to winnow down their tax bills. This was not very long after Trump's first tax breaks for…

I am going to take a few minutes to walk through these findings and discuss why they are so important. I am very pleased to be joined by several of my colleagues who are also outraged about this tax-dodging. Here is the upshot. My…

Senator Welch, thank you for your leadership. It is great to have you on this committee. Mr. President, to wrap up, our investigation has found that Pfizer has carried out what could be the largest tax-dodging scheme in the history of Big…

I thank my colleague. Once again, you can hear his expertise in the Ways and Means Committee and the body on these issues, and I thank him for his leadership. A new member of the Finance Committee, Senator Welch, is here and he will have…

Well said, Senator Whitehouse. And I want to get my colleagues into this. Next in order of appearance is Senator Van Hollen. Once again, I want everybody to understand that the four of us are going to continue to go after this colossal tax…

and colleagues, the Senate will soon take a vote on the nomination of Michael Faulkender to serve as Deputy Treasury Secretary. I urge my colleagues to oppose the nomination. I am going to take just a few minutes to explain why he got zero…

I ask unanimous consent to speak for up to 5 minutes after 5. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

They are so desperate to give tax breaks to billionaires that they’ll basically use any budget rules imaginable to get it.
