This double standard insults the institutions of Congress that people fought and died to build.

I, for one, am grateful we have an independent judicial system where a President's son or a former President, like Trump, can be investigated and prosecuted if they violate the law.

The Inflation Reduction Act passed by Democrats in the Congress signed by President Biden, one, empowered the executive branch to negotiate drug prices paid by Medicare, and two, use those savings to cap out-of-pocket costs.

Negotiating drug prices, it is going to reduce the deficit and save seniors money.

To me, that shows, and this hearing shows how there being so much self-interest in the system can hurt the patient's interest and that this is something we have to reform at all levels.

we can reduce the deficit and have better funding for our programs if we stick with things in the Inflation Reduction Act and have those minimum corporate taxes.

Finally, under this law, we take climate action, we address rising energy costs, we address rising healthcare costs and hold corporations accountable.

the IRS funding in the Inflation Reduction Act, one, improves technology and customer service so constituents do not have to keep waiting for days or weeks to get answers from the IRS.

Those services can be paid for if billionaires and big corporations finally pay their fair share.

The Republican Majority is hurdling toward shutting down basic services for people across the country in just 2 weeks.

I think back to the very first votes I took on legislation under this Republican Majority, which were votes to cut IRS funding.

the deal itself was baked to allow Iran legitimate pathways to nuclear weapons if they just followed the deal.
