I am deeply concerned with the increased rates of mental illness that young people are experiencing, leading to death by suicide, substance use, or other mental and behavioral health challenges.

I think we look forward to having further conversations with you about it.

The expansion is based on my bill with Senator Brown, the American Family Act, which will give 96 percent of American families advanced payments of $250 per month per child or $300 per month per child under the age of 6.

I think we are all want to make sure that we are not letting what happened to 5G happen again.

We do not want to be collateral damage.

If our experience with 5G has taught us anything, it is that we cannot afford to play catch-up on technologies that are critical, fundamental, foundational to our economic security and our national security.

We need to transition to cleaner sources of energy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050
