I am really quite tired of it, so let's set the record straight here today.

Silicon Valley Bank's CEO was paid millions of dollars, ostensibly for being incompetent, and rewarded for the harm that they caused.

As has been proven, the Republicans' opposition to regulation comes at the expense of economic stability for working families.

Saudi Arabia should not be able to sanitize its image by sports washing, nor should it be able to gain sensitive data by investing in American companies.

Saudi Arabia is an oppressive regime.

Regulators must not delay action on climate change. Climate risks are growing by the day.

This is not a coincidence. It is a policy choice, one with dark consequences.

Clearly, a lack of regulation in the tenant screening industry is resulting in inaccurate reports and false information.

Thank you for the critical role that the CFPB plays in protecting consumers and holding bad actors accountable.

If Congress is going to regulate cryptocurrency, we must make sure the solution is not worse than the problem.

When regulating something as high-risk and volatile as cryptocurrency, we should be comprehensive, not restrained.

In my opinion, Congress should not be doing the work of wealthy investors in advancing toothless and feeble legislation that can make the problem of an unregulated crypto industry worse.

I do see baby bonds as the kind of investments that will break cycles of generational poverty.

I, along with Senator Cory Booker, have introduced the American Opportunity Accounts Act.

I believe we need Federal reparations to close the racial wealth gap once and for all.

Takes food away from hungry people.

To anyone who seeks to mislead the public and to use the court's harmful measures to gut essential relief, take a seat. The people deserve and demand this relief. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no.''

This is modern-day redlining.

This LLPA framework does disproportionately impact consumers of color, and so I am glad that you are looking at this so that we can eliminate these structural barriers to affordable housing.

There was a report, 'The Color of Wealth in Boston,' put out by the Federal Reserve in Boston which states that the average wealth for a Black Bostonian family is $8, and that of a White family is $247,500.

It is really unconscionable that this committee, under the Republican Majority, has declined to prioritize housing and homelessness in the 118th Congress.

I still believe that the FHFA needs to go further and fully eliminate these harmful fees which put homeownership out of reach for everyday people, especially Black, Brown, and low-income homebuyers.

I believe that has everything to do with homeownership.

I am of the opinion, as are many of my colleagues on this side, that reinstating the Dodd-Frank regulatory requirements on mid-sized banks, that were rolled back in 2018 by Republicans, is really critical.

The American people deserve accountability. That includes clawing back bonuses, and investigating you for gross negligence, malpractice, and greed.
