"I want to be disruptive today, and I want to talk about #California and the needs that we have that are not being met and what the President of the United States is not doing."

Task Force Ranking Member @RepJuanVargas at today's hearing examining the structure and history of the Federal Reserve System:
"Robust transparency, congressional oversight are part of what makes the fed's Independence legitimate in the first place. The goal should be a @federalreserve that is answerable to the public and insulated from short term pressures."

Witness stresses the need of beneficial ownership information as an essential tool to fight money laundering at this week's subcommittee hearing:
"I can say the one missing link that law enforcement needs is beneficial ownership information... [F]rom a law enforcement perspective is that's the one missing piece that we need. We need beneficial ownership information."

Ranking Member @RepMaxineWaters: Trump always finds money for his vanity projects.
• A costly war with Iran
• A 250-foot “Triumphal Arch” in his own image
• A White House golden ballroom

But when California families lost their homes, businesses, and livelihoods to devastating wildfires, he couldn't find a dime for emergency disaster recovery.

[Rep. Sylvia Garcia @RepSylviaGarcia]

Houston was the epicenter of Hurricane Harvey.

The Texas GLO tried to give Harris County and Houston $0 while handing millions elsewhere, then got caught violating civil rights laws twice.

Disaster relief should go to the communities hit hardest, not the communities politicians favor.

WATCH📺: Subcmte RM @RepAlGreen's opening remarks at today's hearing:
"I appreciate my Republican colleagues for holding this hearing on foreign criminal threats to the American financial system, but it is a disservice to the American public to ignore the very same crimes when they are made in America. Currently, many of my Republican colleagues are gutting anti-money laundering tools like the Corporate Transparency Act. That law, enforcement agencies use to crack down on criminal schemes and scams that often target vulnerable Americans."

[Congressman Brad Sherman @BradSherman]

At today’s @USHouseFSC hearing, I emphasized the need for strong banking regulation that maintains the protections Congress enacted in the Dodd-Frank Act.

And pushed back on Trump’s $250 bill which would be a tool for illicit finance.

Ranking Member @RepMaxineWaters at today's full Committee hearing:

[House Committee on Financial Services - Democrats @USHouseFSC]

Americans are being crushed by high costs, and Trump told us himself he doesn't care. Meanwhile, his regulators are busy weakening financial safeguards, and giving big banks, and crypto firms the freedom to take more risks with Americans hard earned money.
At today's hearing, @USHouseFSC are fighting back and holding our prudential regulators [@federalreserve, @USOCC, @TheNCUA & @FDICgov] accountable.
