"The Ways & Means Committee's solemn oversight work has revealed the urgent need for legislation to ensure the public can trust in real accountability and transparency during the audit of a sitting president's tax returns – not only in the case of President Trump, but for any president.

Dear Democratic Colleague,
Thanks to the leadership and persistence of Chairs Rosa DeLauro and Patrick Leahy, this week the Congress will take up a robust government funding bill that helps meet the needs of America's working families.
Proudly, Democrats' tenacious negotiating has yielded a significant increase in non-defense discretionary funding — larger than the boost we won in last March's government funding bill. This means that we will be able to make historic investments in our families, workers and communities.
