reserving the right to object, my colleague and friend from Utah and I agree on a couple of points. Yes, President Biden did rescind the global gag rule, which this proposal would not only reestablish but make permanent and expand…

I have just come back from a trip to Ukraine with six of my colleagues, a bipartisan group organized very ably by Senator Portman and Senator Shaheen, to express our solidarity with the people of Ukraine in their fight for freedom and…

I think we need to support some of Social Security's most vulnerable beneficiaries including widows and widowers, caregivers, and our oldest seniors.

I was fortunate to introduce, with my colleague from Connecticut, Senator Larson, just a few months ago, the Social Security 2100 Act.

I want to just finish by thanking Senator Casey for his leadership on this entire area of caregiving to our seniors and elderly.

My Social Security 2100 Act ends the 5-month waiting period to receive disability benefits, and I think will provide much-needed assistance to people who are in need.

I am really pleased and honored to follow my colleague from Ohio and to join in supporting the resolution that he is offering to pay homage and to express gratitude to the essential workers in this building, in the Capitol Complex, in this…

I see my colleague from Kentucky on the floor, and I want to take this opportunity to express to him and to Senator McConnell my condolences for what the people of Kentucky have endured with this catastrophic devastation. I know he has…

if I may just finish. We are here again. I will come back again to the floor to seek this Iron Dome money. Many of us are absolutely determined that the United States fulfill this moral, humanitarian, and foreign policy obligation. It is…

Reserving the right to object, Mr. President, my colleague from Kentucky talks about money as though it were going to go to the Taliban, as if it were going to an entity that no longer exists. In fact, that money is necessary to terminate…

this day is one of the profound moments for both Senator Murphy and myself, because we lived through that day--a searing, grief-stricken day that neither of us will ever forget, 9 years ago. And at this moment on that day, I stood before a…

Shouldn't kids in the United States have protection as good as the kids in UK enjoy?

Shouldn't children and parents have the right to report dangerous material abuse and get a response? Get some action.

What really stuns me is the lack of action.

Let me ask you, will you commit to make the pause on Instagram Kids permanent?

Shouldn't there be an obligation that Instagram will respond?

Shouldn't we have a similar rule in the United States?

We have heard some pretty powerful and compelling evidence about the dangers of big tech to children's health.

If you believe what you have testified here, you would say, yes, I support the EARN IT Act.

There are addictive effects of your platform, and I think you will sense on this committee pretty strong determination to do something well beyond what you have indicated.

I agree, enforceability is incredibly important. Without enforcement, it is just words.

Nothing more than the bare minimum controls for parents.

There is no excuse for it. But it dramatically shows one of the key failings of Instagram and a lot of these tech platforms, which is they have no responsiveness to parents, or anyone else reporting this toxic addictive content that is…

We really appreciate your being here, Mr. Mosseri.

These simple time management and parental oversight tools should have, they could have, been announced years ago.
