The people demand and deserve student debt cancellation.

earlier this year I sent you a letter with my colleague from Pennsylvania, Mr. Meuser, which expressed our legitimate concerns that Basel III will significantly impact Americans' ability to access reliable credit and will increase overall…

I have been actively working with members on this committee and the Committee on Small Business to be the voice for Main Street in the rulemaking process, Main Street America, what our country is all about.

I am very troubled by recent reports of sexual harassment and a toxic workplace culture at the FDIC.

I also want to applaud our banking regulators for finalizing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) rule.

The good analysis is talking to Main Street America. The banks are nervous. The banks are already getting scared to death of this.

I want to take this opportunity to applaud our nation's regulators.

We can't continue to allow something as precious and hard-earned as someone's home to go unprotected.

This is why I am co-leading Ranking Member Cleaver's Good DEED Act that addresses title theft...

I am proud to have introduced a bipartisan amendment to the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill to highlight the importance of protecting election workers with my friends, Congressmen Mike Levin, Juan Ciscomani…

These are policy decisions, and while my Republican colleagues can act like climate change is not real, people in marginalized communities, myself included, don't have that luxury.

Low-income Americans are more likely to suffer from the consequences of flooding, tropical storms, and other extreme weather.

Can you also explain to us in detail what the impact of a government shutdown would be on marginalized communities that rely on the NFIP?

In September, not only did Republican brinkmanship here in the House bring us to the verge of a government shutdown, but it also brought us precariously close to an expiration of the National Flood Insurance Program.

I believe in science, and I know that climate change is real and has a real impact on our constituents and on our economy.

Congress and this committee should be working to reauthorize and strengthen the NFIP.

By a show of hands, how many of you think we should stop lurching from deadline to deadline with the NFIP and instead pass a long-term reform and reauthorization bill?

I have been getting texts, calls, and emails from rabbis and other members of the Jewish community in my district in Atlanta urging Congress to take action since October 7th.

It is our responsibility to ensure that our foreign policy not only stands up for marginalized people, but holds accountable those facilitating the financing of terrorism.

Extreme MAGA Republicans pose a real threat to our national security when things happen like kicking out their own Speaker, and a 22-day lapse without a Speaker.

I am also concerned about the continued push that I hear from some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to pull back from the United States' role in protecting democracy and facilitating global cooperation.

Hardworking Americans, particularly marginalized individuals, deserve to have a say in the companies that they are invested in.
