‘This legislation is the most thorough package of reforms to the Internal Revenue Service in twenty years. Let me say that again: The Senate just passed the most significant reforms to the IRS in two decades. It will create a new, independent process for appeals to ensure taxpayers receive fair treatment. And during dispute resolution, taxpayers will now get access to the same information the IRS has. There will be more accountability within the IRS when it comes to cybersecurity, careful management of technology, and overall efficiency.’

‘I support these prudent efforts to respond to Iranian intimidation. Defensive military deployments will help us protect American interests in the region and deter Iranian aggression. I encourage the administration to continue working closely with our partners across the globe to encourage Iran’s leaders to cease their aggression. And I hope Iran’s leaders will listen to the demands of their people, who continue to protest against the stifling authoritarianism of the Islamic Republic, for a better, more prosperous, more peaceful life.’

‘The growing global unrest should be a lesson to us as the Senate gets ready to turn to the National Defense Authorization Act later this week. I know my colleagues on both sides share my hope that this year’s NDAA can build on the successes of the past two years. Our first obligation to the American people is to ensure for their defense. It’s essential we continue rebuilding our military by authorizing sufficient support to modernize and sustain the advantages that America’s all-volunteer armed forces have over our adversaries.’
