Chuck Schumer

When it comes to issues like Medicare, the Affordable Care Act and Planned Parenthood, Congressman Price and the average American couldn't be further apart.

If Republicans think they can quickly jam through a whole slate of nominees without a fair hearing process, they're sorely mistaken.

Indeed, we should go further and not renew the contracts on these projects at the end of their use agreements but instead give their occupants housing vouchers.

What should not be done, in response to Senator Rubio's discovery, is to provide additional subsidies to the owners of these projects to renovate them.

I think the CFPB has had a very salutary influence, and I would hope you would come around to the view that it is a necessary part of our system of banking and governing.

We think the CFPB has done an outstanding job, and what has happened at the bank... shows the need for it.

Today's hearing reminds us why the CFPB was formed. We needed a cop out on the beat.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was formed to ensure that financial institutions that harm consumers through unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices are held accountable.

It just seems appalling that somebody who could make such large mistakes should be rewarded with almost an obscene amount of money, $120 million.

The bill Senator Moran is sponsoring along with many others is important bipartisan legislation

We want to thank Senators Moran, Schumer, Fischer, and Blumenthal for introducing this legislation to benefit fans, artists, and live event venues alike.

I hope for the fans' sake that we have a more comprehensive dialogue today and going forward.

I commend Senator Moran, Senator Schumer, and Representative Blackburn on their efforts to enact a Federal anti-bot bill.

I wholeheartedly support the BOTS Act.

So once the majority leader strikes everything but the title about whatever it was, the words ``Planned Parenthood'' will not appear in the bill before us at all; is that correct? Mr. McCONNELL. Yes. My understanding is it will not be in…

Would the majority leader yield for a question? Mr. McCONNELL. I will be happy to yield to the Senator from New York.

I thank my colleague and agree with him completely and look forward to the questions from the Senator from West Virginia.

That the compromise that is built around what the Senator from Texas has proposed--which says that you have to go to court to prove that the person might be a terrorist, and after 3 days they can get a gun, and that no court proceeding…

I have one other question, if I might, Mr. President, for the Senator from Connecticut, and then we want to hear what the Senator from West Virginia has to say. He has been a courageous leader on this issue. There is some talk on both…

Your priorities are out of line with what corporate America needs and America needs.

A few powerful people can send cascades of money into our system.

The money that is pouring in is unprecedented and it is undisclosed.

I just do not get why corporations that give money should not tell their shareholders.

I think you are hurting America.

Let's not cling to yesteryear like the naysayers who saw the first automobiles hit the road a century ago and said, 'No, the horse is here to stay.'
