on December 8, Donald Trump nominated Andrew Puzder to serve as Secretary of Labor. He was scheduled to come before the HELP Committee tomorrow for his confirmation hearing. There is some reporting suggesting that he is having some second…

But what the data actually show is that they do not save money, that we have a workforce that is just more stressed, more inefficient.

But instead of staffing up the workforce that cracks down on scammers and fraudsters that hurt our seniors, on his first full day in the Oval Office, President Trump issued an Executive order freezing Federal hiring and starving our…

I worry that this kind of hiring freeze is music to criminals' ears.

We have seen this movie before.

Almost 20,000 people died waiting for a disability eligibility discussion in fiscal year 2016.

Congress created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) after the financial crisis so there would be a government agency that had the tools and the authority to protect consumers from being cheated on their mortgages, credit…

Do you believe that the CFPB should continue to look out for the best interests of servicemembers to make sure they're not overcharged by banks or student loan companies that break the law, and if so, why?

Do you believe that the CFPB's Office of Servicemember Affairs has benefited military servicemembers and their families, and if so, why?

In just 5-1/2 years, the CFPB has forced companies to return $12 billion dollars directly to consumers they cheated.

I definitely do not want to change or lower civilian certification standards. That is not the problem here.

While the Military Lending Act did a lot to stop lenders from exploiting servicemembers through payday loans and unfair terms on other loans, some lenders used loopholes in the law to continue to offer predatory terms for other financial…

I just want to say how delighted I am. I am the newest member of this committee and looking forward to serving with you as chair and with our Ranking Member and doing the hard work that this committee should be doing.

President Trump has called Dodd-Frank Act a 'disaster,' and he has vowed to 'dismantle' it.

the President's Chief Economic Adviser is wrong about that pretty basic fact.

our banks have thrived since we passed Dodd-Frank.

When he unveiled his Executive order, President Trump said he hoped to 'cut a lot out of Dodd-Frank Act' because 'friends of mine that have nice businesses cannot borrow money.'

out on the campaign trail, Donald Trump talked a big game about Wall Street. He said: ``Wall Street has caused tremendous problems for us.'' He claimed that he was not going to let Wall Street get away with murder. His closing ad expressed…

I rise today to urge my colleagues to vote against the nomination of Tom Price to be the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. The decisions made at HHS touch the lives of every family in America. The Secretary who runs…
