When the Trump administration sent Department of Homeland Security troops into my hometown in the summer of 2020, the Department's Office of Intelligence and Analysis was there too.

If you're confirmed, would you release to the public this and other information about this office in Portland that I have been pushing to get unredacted?

The Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act--hugely important for breweries, for example, and restaurants in rural America.

I want to talk about the other big initiative I have in this area, and that is with Blake Moore of Utah.

It is my understanding that the House is going to send the Senate a 30-day extension of the Surface Transportation Authorization Act. The Republicans cannot clear it tonight; therefore, we will come back tomorrow and try to pass it then…

I deeply respect the oversight function of this committee as does Secretary Yellen.

We write in bipartisan support of the nomination of Neil H. MacBride to be General Counsel for the Department of the Treasury.

Christi Grimm brings to her nomination more than 2 decades of experience within the HHS Office of the Inspector General.

I hope you will push hard to make sure that we are forceful at expanding the spotlight that we brought on our own shell companies.
