I am certainly influenced by what I saw 10 years ago, when our fiscal response to another financial crisis was, in my opinion, deeply inadequate.

Clearly, we are not out of the woods, and if 2008 and 2020 have taught us anything, it is that crises happen and we need to prepare for them.

Let me echo our thanks for your incredible intervention and work in addressing the economic aspects of this pandemic.

It is long overdue for the Federal Reserve to reconsider its normal operating procedures and use its authorities to tackle the racial wealth and employment gaps.

After the gross, if not criminal mismanagement of the crisis by the Trump Administration, Americans have shown that they want competent leadership and decisive action to crush this virus and put the economy on the road to recovery.

I am so glad that we now have President Biden providing leadership from the White House and a real plan to tackle this crisis once and for all.

My concern, like those of my colleagues, is that forging ahead with new regulations at this point would be harmful and have unforeseen consequences.

The retail investor is known as, 'dumb money,' and there are any number of structures that are set up to take advantage of the retail investor.

Again, you offered up the $35 billion number, which as you and anybody else schooled in finance knows is meaningless unless you convert it into a rate of return.

I need to know what that is in terms of return.

I'm pretty convinced that Citadel is one of the winners; they make a lot of money.

The sooner we can get back to making it open and accessible is I think, going to make a lot of us very happy.

If we'd had a, you know, 15 percent of that presence on January 6th, what happened would never have happened.

A lot of Republicans are going to hide behind the fact that the House acted very quickly.

I do think that there's disarray. I think there's finger pointing.

The Republicans have created this Frankenstein monster.

The senators are jurors, each and every one of those Republican senators is contemplating the fact that it's a minority of their constituents, but a minority of their constituents are probably okay with what happened in the Capitol.

We need to make sure that people are held accountable. We need to make sure that the American people know exactly what happened and how the President -- well, ex- President contributed to that.

Even though it would appear that Mitch McConnell has for the first time in the four years of the Trump administration found some conscience with respect to Donald Trump.

When Liz Cheney comes out with a statement that is actually more blistering than a lot of Democrats, what you're seeing is you're seeing the ground open.

If there is a trial in the Senate, of course, there is evidence and so we may find out who the president was talking to the day before the insurrection.

An impeachment unlike a censure, if we follow through on it, we can impose the penalty of Donald Trump never being able to run for any office again.

This is not a time for stupid cable news fights. It's a time for mourning the loss of life.

An assault on our democracy and assault. Many otherwise law abiding citizens had actually been fooled into taking part in by our president, who lied to them about widespread election fraud that did not occur.

The biggest agitator is your buddy, the President. You probably have his number on your cell phone.
