tax reform is working. The results of two surveys released last week show that tax reform is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing for American workers. Our goal with tax reform was simple: make life better for American workers. So…

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient question. The yeas and nays were ordered. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.

In reality, all major cable and phone providers have said they will continue net neutrality policies. Under the new rules being put in place, Federal agencies can still take action against privacy violations and unfair business practices…

I rise today in support of net neutrality. Let me say that again. I rise in support of net neutrality. Contrary to the assertions that some of our colleagues on the left have made, there are many of us who believe that codifying net…

in my hand, I hold the 2015 draft text of legislation I released with my colleagues in the House of Representatives, Congressman Fred Upton and Congressman Greg Walden. Since 2015, I have publicly and consistently been ready to work with…

The numbers I have are that 91 percent of single taxpayers and 85½ percent of married couples filing jointly will fall below the deduction's income thresholds, that $157,500 and $315,000.

I just want you to know how important this is to agriculture across this country.
