It's difficult to determine because the - all we have are the electronic records. There was no conversation permitted with anyone, at the Internal Revenue Service, involved in the actual audit.

Many years ago, there was another New York City Hotel mogul, who declared 'Taxes are for the little people.' And I think that's kind of the Trump idea.

Well, it's really outrageous. He had so many accomplices, in the Congress, House Republicans, who refused to permit us, to take a look at these returns, even in private, years ago.

This legislation provides a modest way for us to honor one who did so much in so many ways to benefit so many people. So let's name the post office in the heart of the community that he called home, just a block away from a twist and turn…

And that specific actual information came from the Peruvian environmental authority. After that, as you know, a coffin was carried through Iquitos with his name on it, and he was eventually fired by the Peruvians.

And thank you, Commissioner. Commissioner, as I know customs is aware, 1 year ago today, 71 containers filled with Amazon rainforest timber, enough estimated to cover a number of football fields, almost 4 million pounds of timber, arrived…

Texas children right now have no reality as they will soon be returning to school than to duck and cover and learn new exercises. We can do something about that and banning assault weapons is the most critical issue in doing that, not the…

Weapons of war are designed for war. They are designed to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Our country is exceptional in making these weapons of war, these assault weapons, available in the civilian sector, and we…

With telehealth helping so many throughout this pandemic, we should certainly continue its benefits, as I proposed in bipartisan legislation last year, and for which I secured the support of 22 health-related stakeholders. But we don't…

Telehealth is good. Telehealth fraud is not. The Cheney bill is remarkably similar to a bipartisan measure that I worked on last year and got the support of 22 health-related stakeholders after holding a productive bipartisan hearing. I…

This bill costs $132 million per month. Without these targeted provisions to prevent Medicare from being looted, I must vote against it.

Central to the preservation of our democracy is recognition of the results of fair elections you lose just as much, if not more, than the elections which you win. Tonight, we welcome to this Chamber a new Member and recognize a fairly won…

Tonight we stand with courageous Ukrainians who refuse to give in to Putin's war crimes. The morning after this unprovoked attack, I authored the first sanctions legislation in this Congress. Eventually, it may help. But what is needed…

I thank both of the gentlemen for their bipartisan effort on this bill. Six weeks ago today Putin began his bloody aggression in Ukraine. The next morning Representative Blumenauer and I introduced legislation to revoke normal trade…

I know that you have been here recently to ask the Congress to provide supplemental COVID funding, which is no doubt needed.

I think it is very important that your Administration do more than has been done to date to be transparent about that.

If anything is to occur meaningfully to protect American consumers and taxpayers from pharmaceutical price gouging, it will have to come from this Administration.

To assure a stable supply of insulin and better health at $35 instead of $300 monthly, I fully support this bill for Yolanda, a retired Texas teacher, and one-quarter of insulin- dependent patients forced to ration their insulin because of…

I support this bill's relief for Mary in Austin whose grandson, like so many others, will be able to get some relief. They are paying up to $300 per month for insulin, and now they would pay $35 per month. But 5\1/2\ million Texans and 28…

$1,000,000 championed by Representative Lloyd Doggett out of Texas

The day after Russia invaded Ukraine, I introduced the centerpiece of today's legislation with Congressman Blumenauer. It denied Russia preferential trade treatment and would expel it from the World Trade Organization. At that time, 3…

From the cold tar sands of Canada, completing the Keystone pipeline will not save one Ukrainian life nor will the adoption of the rest of their agenda. Let me just say, I have only one agenda in this matter, and that is to respond to the…

This rule makes proper for our consideration legislation that I have offered to respond to the brutal aggression of Vladimir Putin destroying, hour by hour, Ukraine, and its people, with death and destruction. I am pleased to hear from the…

Putin thought he could divide us because our last President served Russian interests so very well--fawning over Putin, unrelenting criticism of our allies, undermining NATO, preferring Putin's word over American patriots, repeatedly…

In the face of death and destruction, President Zelensky and the Ukrainians are showing the world the true meaning of courage. While the most immediate need is for additional military equipment, we could respond tonight by taking another…
