I believe that this industry ought to have diversity.

I am not ashamed to say it. I am not ashamed to associate myself with you or with the President.

You indicate further that this cannot be normalized.

waiting until the last minute hurts our global leadership and credibility on the world stage.

I mention this because we have a former President who regularly indicates that we should just let it default, which aids and abets those who are in the business of extorting, by the way.

It is time to cause the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes so that we can pay our debts.

I associate myself with the remarks of Ms. Velazquez. I think that she made some salient points.

As long as I can cast a vote, I will be casting a vote to protect Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.

as we look for new ways to extort capitulation, to avoid negotiation, and to protect the wealthy from paying their fair share of taxes

And still I rise, Mr. Speaker, proud to support H. Res. 382, with its clarion call to condemn and combat all acts of anti-Semitism. I do so, Mr. Speaker, because those who tolerate anti- Semitism perpetuate anti-Semitism and racism, just…

Due to my attention being required in the matter of life-or-death circumstances of a constituent, I was unable to attend the vote series today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 213 and ``yea'' on rollcall No…

Is it a coincidence, I ask, that these banks grew rapidly beginning in 2018, and failed to adequately manage their risk around the same time that former President Trump signed S. 2155, his Bank Deregulation Bill, into law?

The focus of today's hearing should be the mismanagement of these banks by their executives in the years leading up to the collapse, in tandem with the Trump-era deregulation that enabled this mismanagement to fester.

I commend the prompt response of President Biden, Full Committee Ranking Member Waters, and Federal regulators to the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.

Friends, blaming President Biden and regulators will not reinstate stronger regulations on mid-sized banks or promulgate needed legislation to enable lawful clawback of ill-gotten mismanagement executive compensation.

I tend to deal with the sensitive issues.
