My question is, the 70 children who I was told were in that facility, who had been separated from their parents, what has happened to them?

Do you know what has changed since Saturday with those 70?

How many of those children have been able to be in contact by telephone with their parents from whom they were separated?

I want to report to the Senate on attending the detention center in my home State of Florida. I stood on the floor last week and reported that a lot had changed. I just returned again from South Florida, where I was finally allowed to go…

the current FCC majority has turned their backs on consumers.

For years, I have urged the CPSC to adopt a mandatory safety standard for portable generators to stop these senseless deaths.

In April, the Commerce Committee held a hearing with the Judiciary Committee in the wake of press reports that Cambridge Analytica had used Facebook data to build psychological profiles of users and target them with political propaganda.
