This week the House considers the ``Wrong'' CHOICE Act, so I have one question for this body: Has this House completely forgotten how much pain the housing crisis that triggered the Great Recession has caused the American people? Eleven…

Well, the President's budget is shortsighted. It is reckless. Hopefully, it is dead on arrival when it lands here in the House. President Trump and Republicans want to throw billions of dollars more on defense programs and drastically cut…

I am pleased that a special prosecutor has been named to conduct an independent investigation into Russia's meddling in our 2016 election and any connections between the Trump campaign and Russia. Appointing Robert Mueller is a step in the…

It seems like, with this White House, there is a new crisis every single day. On Monday, it was reported that the President revealed classified information in the Oval Office to Russians, compromising our national security, compromising…

Because when you said it worked, you meant it worked in that they complied.

In revealing classified information to the Russians, President Trump has compromised our ability to defend ourselves against ISIS to gather intelligence against them, and he has jeopardized our relationships with allies across the globe…

Republicans in Congress and now President Trump are twisting arms and trying to make a deal to get their terrible healthcare bill through this House of Representatives. It is so interesting to note that they are working really hard to make…

This act, the Financial CHOICE Act, kills so many of the important Wall Street reforms that this Congress enacted as a result of the crisis.

Well, here we are, 100 days into President Trump's Presidency, and all we have seen is this President break the promises that he made when he campaigned for President. He promised, for example, that we would have ``everyone covered with…

Last week in Michigan, I toured the Bay Area Women's Center, which provides emergency shelter and counseling to survivors of domestic violence or sexual violence and their children. I toured the Women's Center to get a better understanding…

This so-called Financial CHOICE Act ends the most important aspects of Wall Street reform, which were designed and passed to prevent another financial crisis.

Pushing this bill puts Wall Street ahead of Main Street once again.

Removing these important financial safeguards while at the same time eliminating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, designed to protect consumers against those abuses, is the wrong choice and this committee ought to reject that.

The mission of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is to protect the American consumer.

I would just point out again that the position many of us are taking does not contradict the principles that are being articulated. In fact, the law does not preclude any company from awarding stock as compensation at any level. It simply…

I appreciate the comments of my colleague and friend. I do, however, disagree that the question here derives from a lack of understanding of the legislation. I think it is entirely possible--in fact, I would suggest that it is likely--that…

Republicans are now joining Democrats in calling for Chairman Nunes to recuse himself from the House Intelligence Committee's current investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election. By working hand in glove with the White…

I do find it somewhat ironic that when clearly some of the success of the Consumer Protection Bureau from the work that you have done is noted, whether it is Wells Fargo, whether it is Moneytree, or whether it is Bridgepoint Education…

On Friday, when House Republicans withdrew TrumpCare, it was a victory for American families. It was a victory for 24 million people who would have lost coverage under that plan. It was also a victory for the millions of Americans who…

Today is the day. In hearing my friends on the other side of the aisle describe their efforts to improve health care, I just wonder if we have the right bill on the floor. Because looking at all the external analysis--the CBO, which I know…

Well, here we are. Today is the day when this House will vote on whether or not access to health care is a fundamental right in this country or should be limited to those of means who can afford it, whether access to lifesaving…

Thousands of my constituents have contacted me very concerned about the Republican healthcare bill--TrumpCare-- which would mean higher costs and worse care for hardworking families. On the campaign trail, then-candidate Trump promised…

My constituents have been calling all weekend. They do not support the Republican health care bill, TrumpCare. Over the weekend, we received 750 calls or emails. Ninety-three percent of those have contacted me to say that they are against…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of…

This is the final amendment to the bill, which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended. My motion to recommit is quite simple. It exempts class action…
