What we should be doing instead--to begin, this Committee should use this time examining how best to pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy.

The American people deserve better than a hearing intended to chill speech or salvage a botched investigation.

The ability to exercise political speech ensures all viewpoints are represented in policy debates.

I question whether we should allow an authoritarian regime to have a social media capability of the scale they have in our country.

I think that, to be honest, this Committee is uniquely placed to address this problem of transparency
