Meeting taxpayers where they are is an important aspect of providing world-class customer service and bettering the taxpayer experience.

I think the reinvestment in the IRS is extraordinarily important.

I am really concerned about the potential for these highly volatile assets and risky assets to get into our financial system.

I think it is also a good reason to be wary about the risks that this growth poses to consumers and to our economy.

There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that crypto promotes financial inclusion, and in fact there is overwhelming evidence that suggests the exact opposite is happening.

I think there is a number of our colleagues on the Republican side that are interested on the supply issue around the tax credit.

If we could combine that supply with some of our existing tools but also with some level of downpayment assistance, you have got a great retention tool, you have a benefit to workers in distressed communities.

I think we think about wealth gap, creating that equity in an attainable manner is, I think, at least part of the solution.

I strongly support all three of these.

this explanation reflects the status of negotiations and disposition of issues reached between the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for the Intelligence Authorization Act for…

my apologies to the distinguished senior Senator from Maine. Senator Burr knows the one thing he was also extraordinarily critical of was whenever members of the Intel Committee were late to an Intel meeting, and we have one at 2:30. So…

it is with a mixture of sorrow and pride that I rise today to pay tribute to my good friend the senior Senator from North Carolina. I was thinking about the fact that Senator Blunt, who is sitting in front of you, we were here for his…

I guess what I would raise for the Chairman and the Ranking Member is, you know, I am still trying to wrestle with this in my mind whether we need a crypto set of rules or whether we frankly--what are we, 14 years after Dodd-Frank?--ought…

Nothing would be worse than doing a relatively good job--and we maybe overdid it in certain parts on Dodd-Frank--but put a structure our regulated industry, and suddenly see this huge escape of financial activity going outside any kind of…

I do think it is curious that China has made the decision to basically take that kind of risk to bank crypto.

I am all for innovation, but Lord knows, if crypto was suddenly followed by a whole series of fintech entities that were coming back saying, 'Hey, I need my money back as well. I did not get my lending that was taking place on this…

I was unavoidably absent on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, for rollcall vote No. 378 due to a commitment in Henrico, VA, related to the events surrounding the funeral of former Representative Donald A. McEachin. Had I been present, I would…

Thank you, Mr. President. I yield the floor and, again, hope that we can move on this ambassadorship and many others to make sure that our country is well represented not only in South America but around the world going forward. I yield…

So, Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Foreign Relations be discharged from further consideration of PN1691, Elizabeth Frawley Bagley, to be Ambassador of the United States to Brazil, and that the nomination be…

I rise today in support of a dedicated and well-qualified individual who has been nominated by President Biden to fill an increasingly important role. That person is Elizabeth Bagley, who has been nominated to be the U.S. Ambassador to…

I want to compliment my friend the Senator from Ohio for always being willing to speak out on behalf of important people all across the country. I agree with him that organized labor for literally decades has always protected working…

Until it can be established that all of the recommendations in this report have been implemented, the program should be suspended and all dogs returned to the United States.

It is shocking that a program this expensive and supposedly this critical to antiterrorism efforts has been run so haphazardly.

In light of these reports, the Committee will hold further funding for this program in abeyance until the Department provides the Committee with a detailed written accounting of the policies and procedures that have been put in place to…

A second OIG report was issued in December 2019 because 'the Office of Inspector General (OIG) received notice of additional canine deaths that warrant[ed] immediate Department action.'
