anti-Asian-American violence has skyrocketed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, fueled significantly by former President Donald Trump's dangerous and xenophobic language.

Even though an agreement was reached, and we didn't default, Republicans are yet again actively working to risk unleashing the same devastation or worse as they did just over a decade ago.

Such a global financial crisis would hand the Chinese Communist Party a massive win by boosting the Chinese government's standing in the world.

Let me share a quote from the opposite side of the aisle. ``Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.'' They go on to say: ``Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism…

I raise a question, and I direct it to the Speaker. Was PPP socialism? No, of course not, but some Republicans would claim it was. Interestingly, many Republicans, including several sponsors of this ridiculous resolution, not only applied…

Mr. Williams is my friend, but I do wonder whether Mr. Williams views the $1.43 million he received in debt forgiveness as being consistent with his views on socialism. I don't get it. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from…

I include in the Record the list of Republicans. 1. Ralph Norman (R-SC): $306,520--member of Rules. 2. Roger Williams (R-TX): $1.43 million--member of FSC. 3. Matt Gaetz (R-FL): $476,000. 4. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA): $180,000. 5. Greg…

May I inquire how much time I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman has 7\1/4\ minutes remaining.

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Lawler), the newest member of the House Financial Services Committee.

I am looking forward to working with the ranking member.

Democrats support the Justice Department, and CFPB has appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn this absurd ruling.

I commend the CFPB for its announced plans to create an online registry of companies which have violated consumer financial protection laws.

I was chairing the crypto hearing. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 519. Members Recorded Pursuant to House Resolution 8, 117th Congress Axne (Pappas) Beatty (Neguse) Brooks (Fleischmann) Burgess (Weber (TX))…

Thank you for holding this important hearing, Chairman Sherman, and for your strong focus on investor protection throughout your tenure as Chair of this subcommittee.

We are going to continue to fight for housing, despite the fact we did not get the support that was needed from the opposite side of the aisle.
