Which is why it is so critical that we kneecap Iran's ability to provide this support.

A primary source of the threats against Israel comes from the funding that these terror groups receive from Iran.

I think that we have to drive a wedge between Hamas and the Palestinian people.

We have stood by Israel in its darkest hours, and today we reiterate that support, ensuring the safety and security of the Israeli people from these threats.

In the wake of the reprehensible terrorist attacks against our closest ally, Israel, on October 7, it is paramount that we work to break down the dark web of connections that enable such violence.

His bill is a vital tool to cutting this funding off to Iran.

Matt Gaetz is frankly a vile person, all right? He's not somebody who's willing to work as a team. He stands up there, he grandstands. He lies directly to folks.

Does the gentlewoman support the Senate version of a CR? Ms. DeLAURO. Yes, I do. I strongly support the Senate version.

Since Joe Biden took office nearly 6 million migrants have crossed the border, many illegally.

I think he should be speaking to Congress. But look, we have a crisis in New York, and it is a crisis of the making of the elected officials in New York City and New York State.

Will you allow the public to comment on the updated economic analysis before finalizing the rule? Yes or no?

Can you explain your engagement with market participants before putting out significant rule proposals? Are you holding public roundtables?

The extra regulations that the SEC is potentially proposing in this regulation under the guise of consumer protection are going to add $6 billion in increased annualized cost to the industry

So, you are saying for the record that you have taken the time to do comprehensive economic analysis, examine the cumulative impact of all of these rulemakings on the market and the broader economy? Yes or no?

Have you taken the time to do a comprehensive economic analysis examining the cumulative impacts of all of these rulemakings on the markets and the broader economy?

Chair Gensler, you have embarked on a rapid and extensive campaign to reform every facet of our markets.
