"the wall street journal" article titled alarm grows over weakened militaries and empty arsenals in europe, is what i would like to talk about it. and here's how it begins. quote, the british military, the leading u.s. military ally, and europe's biggest defense spender has only around 150 deployable tanks and perhaps a dozen serviceable long-range artillery pieces, so bare was the cupboard that last year the british military considered sourcing multiple rocket launchers from museums to upgrade and donate those then to ukraine, an

colleagues was open-hearted and gave people a lot of loans, i just hope that included some to minority small businesses because madam speaker, this is real. it's not hypothetical. we know that minority owned small businesses were less likely to receive a loan during the pandemic compared to white firms. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. the gentlewoman from california? ms. waters: i yield an additional minute to the gentlelady from texas. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. ms. garcia: unfortunately racism is there in the darkness and we need to shine a light to allow the cfpb to make lending more transparent. the transparent market will be competitive. with transparency, the banks are able to compete and offer better terms. the extreme maga republicans are protecting the secret of banks and lenders. repealing this rule would harm all those who stand to benefit. we want to put profits over people. we want to put light over darkness. i urge my colleagues to vote against this resolution. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields. the gentl
