I would call upon the subcommittee to think deeply about passing some sort of bill about stablecoins.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is maybe the Agency that most directly threatens the livelihoods of West Virginians today.

But it sounds like you would agree the SEC doesn't have the legal authority to enact climate policy?

I never imagined I would say that, because American Presidents are not supposed to so brazenly weaponize the SEC to push through radical climate change policies.

Would you agree that Congress is better suited than the SEC to enact climate policy?

I appreciate the passion of my good friend from Texas, and many of the points he is making need to be heard and understood. Even if it is uncomfortable, the truth has to be told. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about legislation I am…

Last week, the House... passed my bill, the Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act.

My mother fled Communist Cuba where that country still oppresses their people every day.

The Chinese government spies on everybody, and its own people are not free of that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I do appreciate the comments from my colleague from California: distinguish between the people and the government.
