Bob Redford and I were friends for almost 45 years, since he asked me to be a Founding Trustee of the Sundance Institute. He was a generous supporter and a fierce advocate for making America a more perfect union.

One of the great actors and directors in the history of film, his talent will be missed, but more importantly, this kind and decent person will be missed.

The Court has affirmed the constitutionality of the CFPB’s funding structure and this decision affirms our intent to establish CFPB as a robust, independent agency dedicated to protecting consumers.

Lowell Weicker is an important historical figure for Connecticut and the country. He was a dedicated public servant and fearlessly independent. More personally, Lowell Weicker was a close colleague and a dear friend. Our families' relationship goes back more than 50 years, and

I had the distinct pleasure of working with him in the U.S. Senate as his colleague for eight of those years. Despite being from different political parties, we worked closely together for the betterment of Connecticut and the country.

I’m on my way to Los Angeles to host the Ninth Summit of the Americas. I look forward to working with leaders from across the Western Hemisphere to strengthen our bonds and to address our core challenges — from economic prosperity and climate change to migration and COVID-19.

For me personally, I lost a dear friend. Harry and I served together for several decades, but in our final years together, we worked side-by-side, on a near-daily basis, to respond to the financial crisis in 2008 and pass both the Affordable Care Act and Wall Street reform.

Harry will go down in history as one of the greatest Democratic leaders in the Senate, and I will miss his wisdom, counsel, and friendship.

My heart goes out to Elizabeth and the Dole family. Bob was a great personal friend, and I was fortunate to speak to him just a few weeks ago. He was a throwback to a time in the Senate when, regardless of political differences, you could find ways to work together, ...
