Maxine Waters

Let me say this: I know that we all want to help all of those who have been affected by the shutdown, and so I hope I was able to clarify that, so that people can help the constituents in their districts even in ways they may not have…

This resolution is intended not only to help Federal employees as such, but contractors, small businesses, and others that are connected to government in ways that you may not be able to absolutely identify here. You may have folks who are…

Yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Pressley).

Maxine Waters, the incoming Chair of the Financial Services Committee has called for an investigation into Trump's relationships with one of its largest lenders, Deutsche Bank.

I and 18 of my Democratic colleagues wrote the Fed urging you not to weaken capital rules for the globally systemically important banks.

With this kind of inspiration, I will go and take Trump out tonight.

It is a new day, it is a new time, and the old processes don't work well anymore.

That hearing process is a travesty and questions remain about whether all of the women who have made allegations will be allowed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Sexual harassment and discrimination are wrong and against the law.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I would like to cut to the chase.

Ms. Waters. Also, I would like to know, as you were pursuing your ability to apply for promotion or other jobs, was Mr. Watt, at the same time, implying, in some way, that perhaps that was possible if you cooperated with him?

That hearing is in process and that hearing is a travesty.

Sexual harassment, discrimination are wrong and against the law.

Ms. Waters. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Ms. Waters. How did this make you feel?

While the types of terrorist attacks have changed since September 11, 2001, the need for terrorists to raise funds and pay for their activities has not.

It is a priority for me to ensure that underserved borrowers and communities are not overlooked.

Contrary to the claims of the majority, Fannie and Freddie did not cause the crisis.

I would point out that Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House, and there have been no apparent steps to advance comprehensive housing finance reform since they gained that control.

I believe we must evaluate what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have done well, as well as areas where the system still needs improvement and reform.

I would like us to think about incentives, real incentives for locals to get rid of these impediments to development.

I think that should be part of what we pay for with infrastructure. Infrastructure helps to reduce the costs and makes it easier for our developers if they did not have to be involved with other areas other than getting that housing…

We are focused particularly on this side of the aisle for support for infrastructure development and the funding by the Federal Government to improve the infrastructure of this country.

I believe that this could be and should be a bipartisan issue because I think all of our communities all over this country are impacted by a combination of things that all of you are identifying.

These tariffs are affecting the price of everything from bicycles to washers to automobiles.
