Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 25(source)

For nearly 160 years, the last Monday in May has served as a day to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. On this Memorial Day, take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy every day and remember the sacrifices of those who have made this observance possible.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 21(source)

The President who once promised to lower costs on day one now dismisses the pain you feel as something he doesn’t even think about. This is the reality of Trump's economy and the direct result of his war of choice—and it's only going to get worse.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 20(source)

Neal, Raskin Demand Answers on Trump’s Corrupt, Self-Dealing IRS Settlement and Taxpayer Shakedown

WASHINGTON, DC—Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 20(source)

Trump is engaging in levels of corruption unlike anything America has seen from a president. His scheme to reward his allies and shield himself, his family, & his businesses is a gross assault on taxpayers. @democrats-judiciary.house.gov Ranking Member @raskin.house.gov & I are demanding answers.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 19(source)

This corruption marks a dark day for democracy. Read my full statement below:

Neal Lambasts Trump's Corrupt IRS Settlement

SPRINGFIELD, MA—Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after reports that the Trump Administration forced a settlement agreement halting any pr...

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 19(source)

Trump has turned the government into his personal protection racket by making sure his, his family’s, and his companies’ taxes are permanently off limits. The same people struggling with groceries and gas are now forced to bankroll this legal shakedown and the enrichment of his family empire.

Justice Department expands Trump settlement to cover his tax audits

House Democrats accuse Trump of ‘corruption unparalleled’ over IRS settlement talks

House Democrats filed an amicus brief arguing Trump is working to “undermine the Constitution” by seeking a settlement from the IRS over the leak of his tax returns years ago.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 18(source)

If there’s one thing the Trump Administration is consistent about, it’s finding new ways to steal from the American people. Republicans can keep ignoring these gross abuses of power, but today I am leading my Democratic colleagues to protect the money you’ve worked hard to earn.

No one should ever have to worry about their tax dollars being stolen by their President to enrich themselves and their family.

While families are struggling to stretch their dollars to cover the basics, Trump is continuing to find new ways to steal from them.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 15(source)

It’s striking that days before Trump’s personal lawyers and his DOJ lawyers have to prove there’s no conflict of interest between them, they’re settling this case with a sham slush fund. This reeks of desperation to loot the taxpayer before the jig is up.

Trump poised to drop IRS suit, launch $1.7B 'weaponization' fund for allies: Sources

President Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion IRS suit in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund for victims of governmental "weaponization," sources say.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 15(source)

He's stealing from you.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 13(source)

When people are struggling to put gas in their cars, stretching their paychecks to keep up with prices, and grappling with an endless war, what is Trump doing? Working to make himself $10 billion richer with your taxpayer dollars. You work too hard to be robbed like this.

Breaking News: The Justice Department is said to be considering settling a lawsuit President Trump filed against the IRS over the release of his tax returns.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 13(source)

Yet another ploy by the President to get rich off the backs of taxpayers. His corruption knows no bounds.

Justice Dept. Officials Consider Settling Trump Suit Against I.R.S.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 12(source)

The Trump Administration exposed the exact type of sensitive data fraudsters use to steal from the Medicare program. The American people deserve answers, accountability, and assurances that this won't happen again.

Another day, another data breach. When the Trump Administration exposes Social Security numbers on a public website, the American people deserve answers.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 8(source)

The Supreme Court’s decision to weaken voting rights is a stain on our democracy. The right to vote is fundamental to who we are as Americans. After years of hard-fought progress by voters of color, this ruling marks a dangerous step backward. Democrats won’t stop fighting to protect voting rights

Neal Statement on April 2026 Jobs Report

SPRINGFIELD, MA— Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the April 2026 jobs report:

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 8(source)

Americans have had all they can handle from the Trump economy. What people are earning isn't keeping up with inflation. Gas prices are up 50%, and the cost to fly has surged 20%. How do Republicans expect families to weather something an airline couldn’t?

Nearly half of Americans are struggling to afford their groceries. And Republicans call that a “strong economy.”

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMay 7(source)

If you were wondering where Republican priorities lie, here's your answer: ❌ Make health care more affordable ❌ Make groceries more affordable ❌ Make gasoline more affordable ✅ Ask taxpayers to fork over $1 billion for Trump's ballroom www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Republicans propose $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to secure Trump ballroom

The president said repeatedly that the White House ballroom would be privately funded but has raised security concerns, particularly in light of the correspondents' dinner shooting.

Gas prices rising in all 50 states as average nears $5 — how much worse will it get?

The average price of a gallon of gas in the United States is on the rise in all 50 states, one prominent fuel industry analyst said.
