I am hoping, to cut right to the chase, that we can move forward on the Kids Online Safety Act.

Well, frankly, if my job is to show that Apple has a monopoly or overwhelming market power on app stores, I'll take that side of the case and I won't even charge for it.

I think it comes down to the cause of action, defining what the wrong is, what the legal violation is.

Shouldn't Americans have as much access to competition, fair play, innovation, as European consumers?

The rules of discovery are the same. The rules of evidence are the same.

I spent most of my career in enforcement.

These measures are really pro-business. Maybe they're not pro-monopolist or pro-predatory conduct, but they are pro-business.

There is an elephant in the room, which is Big Tech's response to this legislation.

Yes. I think, Professor Francis, your comment is correct.

Well, it's not me that gives us the power, it's the law. I can't do anything without the law on my side.

It's an unprecedented smear campaign, a disinformation strategy.

Big Tech has an abysmal record on civil rights and safety.

If we wait for Big Tech to reform itself, we're going to be old men and women.

We need to appropriate the money to invest through that infrastructure. We are investing in all kinds of infrastructure. Why not our hospitals for VA facilities?

I hope that the American Legion will join us in Connecticut and other states around the country in trying to make veterans more aware of their rights.

I am proud to be the principal author and sponsor and leader on that Camp Lejeune legislation.

Our veterans deserve it and so do the professional staff, extraordinarily qualified and dedicated, docs and nurses who work in those facilities.

I am proud to be the principal author and sponsor and leader on that Camp Lejeune legislation that provides for those Marines, and their families, who have been disgustingly the victims of contamination.

We need to make more veterans aware of their rights, under the PACT Act, as well as under the Camp Lejeune care and benefits.

I share Senator Hawley's frustration and impatience, as you may have gathered, and I feel that sense of outrage at congressional inaction.

You are part of a generation that has a right to expect more from us.

The idea of the EARN IT Act is very simple: that if any company wants to have any defense or immunity against legal action, it has to earn it.

This toxic experiment on our children is going badly wrong.

As Senator Blumenthal has said, eyeballs on that site for a longer period of time--it's more money, money, money in the bank.

Congress needs to act and heed that call and do it now.
