just very briefly, I would like to note that this has been the second time in about 6 weeks when I have tried to get the urgently needed child tax credit extended for another year here on the floor of the U.S. Senate--the second time. We…
reserving the right to object, I certainly agree with the proposition that was advanced by my colleague to improve service at the Internal Revenue Service. The fact, however, is the effect of this proposal is to demean IRS workers and…

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.
