when you look at this tax bill, it is still more profitable to do business overseas than to do it in the United States.

In the absence of real strategy and tangible wins on trade, perhaps it's time for the Congress to think about reclaiming that authority.

the President believes he has the authority to impose auto tariffs because the Congress gave it to him.

today I am placing a hold on the nomination of Michael Faulkender to be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy, which was reported favorably from the Finance Committee on September 18, 2018. I will maintain that hold until…

If Donald Trump fires Rod Rosenstein, for the purpose of protecting himself from the Mueller investigation, that would represent high crimes and misdemeanors.

My message to the President tonight is that interfering with the Mueller investigation is the wrong thing to do. It's the wrong thing to do for our country.

Whenever they got problems, they go out and create some chaos. They create some distraction.

Absolutely not. And look, the President's lawyer is basically giving away the game at this point. It's very clear that this is all about interfering with the Mueller investigation.

the Senate is considering tonight the nomination of Charles Rettig to lead the Internal Revenue Service. Let's be clear. This is not a typical IRS Commissioner debate. Over the last several months, the Trump administration has weaponized…

the Senate is a bit behind in terms of the schedule. I ask unanimous consent, as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee--we will be voting on Mr. Rettig here shortly--that I be allowed to speak for up to 15 minutes at the…

today I am introducing the Clean Air Refugee Assistance Act of 2018 to help Americans who have been driven away from their homes by choking, hazardous wildfire smoke. Western wildfires are getting bigger, hotter, and more difficult to…

today the Senate confirmed the nomination of Lynn Johnson to lead the Administration for Children and Families. In less chaotic times, she would be running an office that few people outside of Washington would hear much about. In the…

the Trump administration is engulfed in scandal. The President has been implicated in at least one felony. His former campaign chief, former deputy campaign chief, longtime personal lawyer, and former national security adviser are all…

these are incredibly harmful and traumatic times for immigrants and refugees in America. Perhaps there is not greater example of the damaging immigration policies of this administration than the so called zero-tolerance policy that led to…

what the Trump administration is doing to sabotage healthcare in our country is a monumental scandal in slow motion. What the President promised was better care for all Americans at lower cost. What he and his officials have delivered is…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. Healthcare

Yet to date, in terms of real wages, they are basically flat like pancakes.

today I am introducing the Broadband Internet for Small Ports Act to help small ports access broadband loans and grants, which will increase internet service in rural coastal communities nationwide. Nearly a third of Americans lack access…

I think it is unfortunate, respectfully, that you are not answering the question.

the Trump Treasury Department is continuing to stonewall this committee's attempts to investigate these matters of criminal tax evasion, corruption, and foreign influence in our elections.

The gods have a way of dropping Earth-shaking news right before Finance Committee hearings.
