the gross elimination of many public health protections are kickbacks to the rich lobbyists and corporation friends

You have dismantled protections for the public's health, and there is--and protections for children who suffer asthma.

Who is protecting the subjects in those studies?

So there are no safeguards to guarantee that these vital public health services are protected and not marginalized for profit motive?

One of the biggest challenges that we have is in rural America, where you don't have population centers that can access the infrastructure for broadband and other things, even for commercial use.

As a physician, I think we have obligation to make sure that we are using the internet and technology to help improve the public's health.

I am just concerned that this is going to inhibit that progress that is being made out there.

Last year, I traveled to Puerto Rico and saw firsthand the disastrous consequences of Hurricane Irma and Maria, and I left the island heartbroken.

One of their greatest needs was energy in restoration.

To many, having energy was a matter of life and death.

The fact is, Mr. Zuckerberg, Facebook failed its customers.

I am also taking a broad view, as a Congressman here, to try to fix this problem.

So does this not, perhaps, strike you as a weakness with the current system, that you are not required to notify the FTC of a potential violation of your own consent decree with them and that you did not have clear guidelines for what you…

So, from what we have learned over the past 2 days of hearings, it just doesn't seem like the FTC has the necessary tools to do what needs to be done to protect consumer data and consumer privacy, and we can't exclusively rely on companies…

We, as Congress, have a responsibility to figure out what went wrong here.

Today I rise to say happy birthday to my daughters, Sky and Sage. There is no greater love than the love I have for my twin girls, Sky and Sage, and for my wife, Monica. There is no greater role or responsibility I have than to be their…

I want to thank Chairman Walden, Ranking Member Pallone, and the committee for their hard work on this bipartisan bill. This legislation includes my bill, H.R. 5007, the Tribal Broadband Deployment Act, which will direct the FCC to improve…

Today is Valentine's Day. Children will pass around cards and candy at school. Young men and women will gather the courage to speak with their crush, and many couples will get engaged to marry. I sent my first Valentine, my mother…

In today's digital age, access to high speed internet is simply essential.

My bill, H.R. 1581, the Tribal Digital Access Act would help close the digital divide in Indian country.

We must do more to bridge the digital divide.

The bipartisan Rural Wireless Access Act would help the FCC provide targeted Federal assistance.

That's not meaningful consultation. That's what I've heard over and over again where they have Native American interest or they invite a Native American to a room just to check a box.

Since 1980, the Superfund program has cleaned up hazardous sites and helped corporations such as landfill operators, chemical companies, and manufacturers--hold them accountable for polluting communities across the country.

Living in close proximity to environmental hazards yet not being meaningfully consulted in the government's mitigation planning threatens the health and well-being of tribal members who rely on resources like rivers for survival.
