I consider, as I do, a corporate tax giveaway.

I have been very concerned about the budget cuts directed at the IRS over the last several years.

I am worried, Mr. Secretary--so I am going to have to leave to work on another one of the bills.

Vermonters feel that Washington has put the corporations ahead of their own interests.

Attempting to replace in-person visits with online services doesn't help Vermonters who lack broadband service.

the Senate has often been called the world's greatest deliberative body, where we can thoroughly and respectfully debate weighty matters, regardless of pressures imposed by any given moment. While we do not always live up to this ideal, it…

millions of Americans were outraged last year when the Federal Communications Commission, FCC, voted to repeal the strong and enforceable net neutrality rules that were adopted in 2015. As a supporter of a free and open internet, I share…

I am concerned that the administration's proposed cuts to NIH and NIGMS will undoubtedly place pressure on the IDeA program.

I want to--you know, I am glad to see the--and I know Senator Durbin is, too--see the Senate Appropriations Committee going back to the old way of actually getting things scheduled and done.

I am concerned that a group has circulated some misinformation in Vermont, so let me ask a couple questions just to clarify the public record.

Too many people in the administration sometimes forget they serve all Americans, not just one person.

I disagree with many of the decisions you've made at the FCC. I also am concerned about the tone you've adopted.

You've shown contempt for the public through your decisions. You ignored the overwhelming public support for net neutrality.

I was born in Vermont. I know the State.

I want you to know how proud I am of both the Air and Army Guard in Vermont. They've always responded.

Do you agree that the data underlying your maps has serious flaws that need to be corrected?

I firmly believe the Lifeline program's goal is--or should be--to empower consumers, not companies.

I hope you can provide Vermonters, in a largely rural State, who overwhelmingly support net neutrality, with some specific data.

I can't--and I realize my time is up, but, Mr. Chairman, I just cannot tell you the concerns I have in the--people coming up to me in the grocery store or on the street and everything else in Vermont, Republicans and Democrats alike, who…

notwithstanding what we sometimes hear about a deadlocked Washington, there are times when both parties work together. Three months ago, Republicans and Democrats came together, and we reached a bipartisan budget agreement. Republicans and…

I share your concern about ZTE. I was concerned that, 72 hours after the Chinese Government pumped a half billion dollars into a theme park in Indonesia that had Donald Trump's name on it, he said we should put those people back to work.

I remain deeply concerned that any company beholden to foreign governments that do not share our values are not companies that we want to be gaining positions of power inside our telecommunications network.

The President has called your bureau 'a disgrace'.

I want to see Amtrak operate safe and secure trains on its routes across the country.
