I am astounded that Barack Obama hasn't said anything about racism and sexism at the CFPB.
The banks deserve to be investigated. Not all of them are culprits, but those that are have been, for decades, ripping off Black and brown people.
The agency was the brainchild of Elizabeth Warren, who not only led it during its start-up year, but also hired all of the senior managers, including the current Director, Richard Cordray.
Today's hearing marks the fifth in this committee's investigation into allegations of discrimination and retaliation at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Just because I am a White straight guy from Wisconsin doesn't mean I can't care about what happens at the CFPB.
I am disappointed that we are trying to talk about everything else and everybody else and everywhere else but the people who are in front of us.
I would hope that--I don't care what your sex is, what your sexual preference is, what your race is, what your beliefs are--we stand together as a country and we hear that story, and we fight together as one Congress and make a difference…

If you were judging success by getting people off assistance and into self-sustainability, you would be here today telling us those numbers.
Homelessness doesn't just exist in urban America. It also exists in rural America, in places like my district.
It has been a fascinating couple of months of hearing the debate go on of Ex-Im Bank, and it is pretty obvious that we have pretty high passions on both sides.
One of the greatest innovations that has ever been developed by man to connect people from every corner of the Earth, whether in cafes or homes or in schools, is the Internet. The reason the Internet has expanded and grown around the world…
The Ex-Im Bank was an engine of economic growth. And letting the Ex-Im Bank expire would be harmful to the American economy.
This is a bill that is protecting babies who can survive outside the womb. These are babies who can feel pain. Knowing that this institution won't stand up for those vulnerable children in our society is a sad day for this institution. I…
Those who supported Dodd-Frank have been more concerned with helping special interests in Washington than their constituents back home.
