the new tax law, I feel strongly, does a lot of damage to our community.

I want you to know that I am very concerned because I get calls in my congressional office.

This is not what Congress intended when we created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and I am deeply disappointed.

Unfortunately, we have seen that hacking has become more--much more lucrative because of cyber criminals and the cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin.

I want to publicly thank him.

For FAMS, TSA officials explain that it's very difficult to measure the effectiveness of Federal air marshals and the program, and that there's absolutely no way to collect data.

this is unacceptable, and we need to be briefed on the classified section of it.

the warnings that are being raised about the extent of the problem, I find absolutely alarming.
