We must fund housing in proportion to its importance to the future of our nation.

You know, one of the worst things that is going in this country, and I--you know, I have fear for my children and their children over the direction we are going.

I want to thank you, Mr. Krebs, for your integrity. It is good for the whole country to see what integrity looks like.

It would be an error to suppose that men and women can be courageous every day. It would be unfair to anticipate that I or any Member of this body could be a lion every day. No one is expected to be a lion day after day after day. But on…

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the following: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the…

this is an awful disease, and we should not force anybody to go stand in line and--making them susceptible to this deadly virus.

If we have an impending invasion by Russia, it would seem to me that this would be an appropriate issue.

One of my big concerns is we politicize everything... I think we are probably going to lose some lives over that, and may have already done so.

I believe that this is a moment unlike any other that I have seen, in terms of the country's willingness to finally address these long-lasting issues of race and putting them aside.

I see a role, but I am just wondering if you think the Fed can play a role?

I was here when we--I guess the chairwoman and I are maybe the only two Members who were here when the CFPB was created, and whether the people who were not here choose to accept it or not, there were great, great pains taken to make sure…

I don't understand it.

I think is just morally obscene.

I have never gotten into an argument at a committee and I don't scream at people.

We passed the Equality Act, Paycheck Fairness Act, Save the Internet Act, Enhancing Background Checks.

I know we can't hold back the wind. It is inevitable that we are going to see more and more of this in the future.

I do not think that there is a need for much imagination to see that that is in fact the truth.
