But let me suggest that maybe what we should have done here is to actually have a hearing with hourly workers to ask them how they are faring, rather than asking economists how workers are faring.

I think this is a very serious problem, and I hope, Chairman Thune, that we can look into this.

Wages are stuck. The typical worker's hourly wages, after adjusting for inflation, were lower in August than a year ago.

I write to express concerns about 'kid-directed' mobile apps potentially violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and urge the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to conduct an investigation and take any necessary…

I urge you to direct an audit of all applications in the 'Designed for Families' section of the Play Store to ensure compliance with COPPA, remove any app that violates the law, and improve app vetting in this section going forwards.

I hope we can work with Spirit Lake and the State to address the issues raised by this antiquated law.

At best, the Republican tax bill was a massive missed opportunity, squandering $1.9 trillion on tax breaks for those who did not need them at a time when our Nation could least afford it.

The bill does little to help working families. Instead, it worsens inequality and burdens the next generation with trillions in additional debt, which could jeopardize vital programs and services that families count on.

We've not done anything in this Congress.

I want to commend you on your work with what was done associated with the evaluation following the 2016 election.

I think one of the things we found in 2016 is that we didn't have the transparency and the literacy to do what you just pointed out there: to counter false speech with accurate speech to understand how this speech was propagating in the…
