But we shouldn't have to rely on an Executive order, folks, in my opinion, to streamline permitting, especially for projects that promote public safety.

Will you commit to ensuring procedural due process with this policy and with all other enforcement actions your agency takes? Yes or no, please.

In closing, I implore you to please get back to what you can do best, which is to support and protect consumers.

Perhaps the nowhere more--it's nowhere more evident that there's a drain on the consumer protection mission...

This is not what success looks like when you are tasked with protecting consumers from harms.

It is time that you focus on the authority that Congress has provided you.

I was recorded as ``no,'' but I intended to vote ``aye'' on rollcall No. 170. Amendment No. 10 Offered by Mr. Palmer The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on amendment No. 10, printed in part B of…

I thank my good friend from South Carolina for yielding. Go Gators. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of H.R. 1, which would unleash American energy, lower energy prices, and restore the United States as energy independent and as an…

It is critical that we establish a Federal preemptive standard for NIL to bring clarity and consistency to this rapidly evolving space.

Maybe Big Tech got the hint and had worked to gain public trust. This time, we had even more constituents respond... Once again, 82 percent of them said no.

Do you trust Big Tech to be fair and responsible stewards of their platforms? Over 2,700 constituents responded, with 82 percent of them saying no.

This is why Congress needs to enact a comprehensive privacy and data security law to give Americans more control over their information, and to protect our children.

Mr. Chew, please, your technology is literally leading to death.

It is unacceptable, sir, that, even after knowing all these dangers, you still claim TikTok is something grand to behold.

Your company destroyed their lives.

Your algorithms have prioritized providing harmful content directly to children, like self-harm challenges and even suicide.

We are too far behind, too far behind. That is the bottom line.
