Elizabeth Warren

I am absolutely committed to making sure that the Federal Government is a strong partner to our public schools, districts, and States.

I am extremely disappointed that we are moving forward with this hearing before receiving the proper paperwork from the Office of Government Ethics.

--who worked for a decade in Massachusetts to bring health care to 97 percent of our people, I vote no.

It is absolutely critical that we get the lead out of these housing units and that our children have a chance to grow up without being injured by our own negligence.

We need to pass the Presidential Conflicts of Interest Act that I introduced with more than 20 of my colleagues, which would require him to do so.

The only way that the American people can know that the President is working in their best interest and not in his own is if he divests and puts his assets in a true blind trust.

The problem is that you cannot assure us that HUD money not of $10 varieties but of multimillion-dollar varieties will not end up in the President-elect's pockets.

I think it is very important for people to have contact with the military.

That is why Congress, not the President, retains important war powers.

The Intelligence Community Assessment observed that Russia will apply lessons learned from its campaign aimed at the United States presidential election to future influence efforts in the United States and worldwide, including against U.S…

Would both state-sponsored and non-state actor-sponsored malicious cyber-attacks on the United States constitute acts of war?

The potential for data manipulation is a serious concern--both for defense and civilian networks.

A conscious effort by a nation state to attempt to achieve a specific effect.

I think that trying to destroy Adult Protective Services by taking away Federal funding is absolutely the wrong way to go, and if that is where Speaker Ryan wants to go, he should explain that to the American people.

Thank you, and thank you very much again, Madam Chair, for holding this hearing and for our Ranking Member.

If Congress is serious about preventing senior financial abuse, then we should be increasing the funding for Adult Protective Services agencies, not talking about eliminating it.

I kind of think the bill should be renamed the 'Reducing Critically Important and Already Inadequate Federal Funding Act.'

Do State Adult Protective Services agencies have adequate funding to tackle the scale of the senior abuse problem that you see?

The American people are furious over what Wall Street has done. They don't want somebody who's going to come in here and say hey let's help Wall Street.

He promised when he was running for president that he would break the connection between Wall Street and this Congress. He said he was going to separate that from the government. No more revolving door.

I think it means that we believe in respect and dignity for every human being. And I also believe that it means we believe in building economic opportunity.

We've had enough of Republican trickle-down economic works for people at the top and doesn't work for anyone else.

I think that should boost our confidence in the electoral system.

The question is, how is he really going to separate himself? I'm glad to hear that he has said he's going to move in that direction.

I'm very glad to see that they got rid of lobbyists, or at least made them dropped their lobbying affiliation while they were there.
