mr. brown: thank you, madam president. i learned a long time ago never to want to give a speech after that, but i certainly agree with what senator warnock said. the senate schedule kind of made me do this so thank you, madam president. i'm joined on the floor by senator warnock, who is one of the principals in our legislation. senator bennet, senator booker and senator king, for their leadership and their work to deliver what is pure and simple, the largest tax cut for working families ever. tomorrow for the sixth month in a row -- july 15, august 15, september, october, november -- tomorrow sixth month in a row ohio parents, 92% of parents in ohio with children under 18 will get, will again see $250 or $300 in their bank accounts or in their mailbox per child, if they have two infant children, they will get $600. this is the most consequential thing we've done in decades to make people's hard work pay off. we know how hard parents work at their jobs, at raising kids. any parent knows how much work it is to take care of c

mr. speaker, ms. brown could still be with us here today if she had access to an essential caregiver. the next two stories come to us from arizona. the first story is from linda thompson, also featured in the book "protecting them to death." quote, my husband is in a memory care facility. he no longer speaks as a direct result of the isolation during the pandemic. he uses a walker because he was confined to his room. he was unable to exercise his legs. all his physical abilities have declined significantly. change of any kind takes a toll on dementia residents. knowing he spent 17 days in a sterile room in the covid-19 facility is heartbreaking. he had very few symptoms. he lost 20 pounds. i'm still praying this never happens again. if he had access to his loved ones, mrs. thompson's husband might still be speaking today. but the moment he was shut off from his essential caregivers, his health took a devastating toll. also from arizona, here's a story from anne martinez, who lost her mother in the pandemic. quote from the book "protecting them to death", every time i visit my mother,

brown: senator daines from montana is recognized. sen. daines: thank you, mr. chairman. i want to express concern with my colleague's about the cfpb. we saw the same thing under the obama adventures and. under the obama cfpb, they pursued regulation by enforcement, choosing to go after countries without giving clarity on how to avoid engaging abusive behavior. the behavior of the cfpb has had a detrimental effect on businesses and has limited consumer choice and increased cost of credit across america and my home state of montana. i'm concerned and i fear that the cfpb is already reverting back to some of those practices of the obama era. the cfpb re-imposing some burdensome rules. director chopra, you said during your confirmation hearing that you would not prejudge a business based on an industry it is in. will you reaffirm that commitment to this committee today? dir. chopra: yes, we should never prejudge a law-abiding business, and i am happy to answer whatever you want. yes. sen. daines: ok, thank you. you also said you intend on focusing your oversight on large bus

mr. chair man. >> thank you, chair man brown. i appreciate you holding the hearingld today. thank you for your testimony. i want to congratulate you on your recent renomination and i look forward to the hearing that's coming up and i appreciate we are going to be seeing the report on the digital dollar soon. i think it's an opportunity to take a lead in innovation so thank you for t that. i would like to pose my first question to you. every move president biden has taken so far is seemingly improved russia and vladimir putin's strategic position. from capitulating on the treaties and congressional extension to not fully enforcing mandatory sanctions, we see russia and putin now with leverage and strength with partners in ukraine that they haven't had since the fall of the soviet union. natural gas prices have been soaring to the benefit and now in real time, just like watching a fatal car crash we are seeing an unprecedented number of troops on the border of ukraine. secretary, i want to make certain that you have all the authority you need in congress to detour that russia
