It's a bellwether. It's great. It sends that large message that, if you're going to bring people into this country illegally and exploit them, you're going to pay for it.

[w]hen problems were identified outside the national banking system at Ally Bank, we immediately directed the eighth largest national bank servicers to review their operations and take corrective action

The unacceptable practices that have been identified in the past several months warrant the thorough investigation that is now underway.

The OCC supervises all national banks and their operating subsidiaries, including their mortgage servicing operations.

[t]he examinations that we're now undertaking on an interagency basis are going to just grind right down to the most granular detail to understand what has gone on in this process; to make sure that those processes are remedied so that…

I was pleased to work with Senator Kerry on this legislation, which prevents disruptive evictions and homelessness among tenants who have done nothing wrong.

They have not improved enough. They have not improved fast enough.

Clearly, when banks are self-reporting that they have had major problems, they have major problems.

This -- this narcissistic attitude -- this -- that they are a victim of society, there's only one victim here. It's the child.

Let -- somebody explain to me how it's right or an equal power base between a 50, 45, or 25-year-old man and a 5-year-old boy or 6-year-old or a 5-year-old little girl. Where is the equal power base?

All of those financial reasons are -- are an incentive enough not to do it; but why didn't they do it just for the right reasons?

It's illegal. It's illegal. It's immoral.

It's disgusting. And I -- I'm really, really appalled that Amazon didn't saddle up and make that moral decision.

It absolutely endangers kids. What makes this country great are our freedoms -- freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom of press. We're all about freedom of press.

It's illegal. It's immoral. It is a judgment call by someone as big as Amazon to say -- even if they just said this, what if someone buys this book, they molest a child, the cops find this book in the house, and then the parents decide to…

But I've been catching these guys for years. This narcissistic attitude that they are a victim of society, there's only one victim here. It's the child.

It's disgusting. And I'm really, really appalled that Amazon didn't saddle up and make that moral decision. It's not about freedom of press, it's about not giving other pedophiles the ability to learn how to avoid enforcement and exploit a…

This criminal justice system has re-victimized me. It's the criminal injustice system.

This man is feigning his insanity. He's manipulating the courtroom. He planned how he would kidnap me. He planned how he would keep me at large for eight months. He got caught by police and talked his way out of it. He's not insane; he's a…

I'm asking for justice.

I know that my colleagues, Senator Merkley and Senator Levin, drafted section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act to ensure broad coverage of the prohibition on proprietary trading by banks.

I'm concerned that if the regulators set a definition of 'trading account' that is too narrow, it might not capture all of the risks of proprietary trading.

I think the largest financial firms in this country are just too large, and that their massive size threatens our economic security and puts us at risk in future crises.

The Volcker Rule looks to stop this risk.
