Anyone who attacks our elections should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, correct?

We just heard facts about a foreign government attacking our elections. We've heard that quite a bit this afternoon.
The United States has an atrocious record when it comes to maternal mortality.
The zero tolerance policy has and continues to fracture families at our border as punishment for seeking refuge in the United States.
We have absolutely got to end the physical and mental harm faced by our children at the border.
Thank you so much for allowing me to discuss a very important topic to me once again as we have heard a little bit earlier today--maternal mortality.
We have a responsibility to mothers, and their families, to make sure that safety and health is our number one priority.

So how do you respond to the concern from merchants who have been abruptly suspended by Amazon who they say have no way of ever reaching an Amazon employee to make their case.
On the second panel that we have today, Ms. Mitchell in her written testimony she highlights how Amazon abruptly and arbitrarily suspends merchants' accounts, freezing their funds and shutting down their Amazon pages.
I also believe that Congress and agencies have a serious responsibility to make sure that there's real competition in the market.
Frankly, for many of these veterans, they don't have a whole lot of money to start with.
This small change will help veterans who are most in need, and no one should ever be penalized for the payments they receive for their injuries resulting from their brave service to our country.
