The SEC is an investor protection agency, so when you launched your project, what evidence did you have that information overload was a real problem that investors wanted you to solve?

I have never heard of the concept of information overload in the context of investing in stocks.

Giant pipeline companies that cannot make an economic case for these projects should not be allowed to force someone else to pay for them.

They found that it's not in their economic interest to be paying for pipeline capacity every day when their needs are limited and only during certain specific periods of the year.

These companies are saying they do not want to pay because they are not sure that these pipelines make any economic sense.

Traditionally they are financed by the companies that are actually going to burn the gas, industrial manufacturers, gas distribution companies, gas-fired plants, who enter into long-term contracts with the pipeline company.

We think the path forward is clear. Massachusetts will need to aggressively expand renewable energy generation and increase conservation to meet our carbon emission goals.

Last month the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the state is not on track to meet its legal obligation to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels.

I ask through the Chair if the majority leader will yield for a question. Mr. McCONNELL. I yielded the floor.

No, Donald, what you are doing is a total disgrace. Race baiting a judge who spent years defending America from the terror of murderers and drug traffickers simply because long ago his family came to America from somewhere else, you…

Trump tells everyone who will listen that he is a great businessman. But let's be honest, he is just a guy who inherited a fortune and kept it rolling along by cheating people.

But if unity means a marriage between Donald Trump's toxic racism and Jeb Hensarling's Wall Street giveaways, then I think they would be better off with division.

Well, thank you very much. You know, Congressman Hensarling is in New York today meeting with Donald Trump to discuss what we could call his 'Wet Kiss for Wall Street Act.'

The best way to change Iran's behavior is to keep the pressure on.

If they do not start addressing these areas, they are not going to see the foreign business come in.

It seems to me that it plays directly into the hands of the hardliners in Iran who want to blame the West for their economic woes.

But a recent report by former Treasury officials and other sanctions experts concluded that... the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action did not lead to a $100 to $150 billion immediate windfall for the Iranian regime.

Iran faces barriers to foreign investment that go well beyond the complexities of longstanding nuclear-related sanctions.

Last July, the United States and its allies reached an agreement with Iran to roll back its nuclear program in exchange for relief from some economic sanctions.

Now that he's sewn up with the Republican nomination, Donald Trump is dropping all pretenses. He's kissing the fannies of the poor, misunderstood Wall Street bankers.

A small insecure money grabber who doesn't care who gets hurt, so long as he makes a profit off it.

Donald Trump was drooling over the idea of a housing meltdown because it meant he could buy up more property all the cheap. What kind of a man does that?

Let's face it, Donald Trump is about exactly one thing. Donald Trump.

What kind of man does that to us? A small, insecure money grabber who doesn't care who gets hurt, so long as he makes a profit off it.

If the goal of this bill is to promote investment in small businesses that make things and provide services to their communities, then why does it allow BDCs to divert even more money, up to 50 percent of their portfolio, away from small…
