I really do care. And I didn't pave my way in a road to coming to Washington, but I have lived experiences that probably give me really good credibility to be able to fight and champion for them in Washington.

I want to know why was no one standing up for our children? Why was no one standing up to keep us safe? So I stood up and I ran for office myself.

I asked Mr. Bezos about Amazon's treatment of third-party sellers.

Thank you so much for continuing to bring these important measures before the body today.

I believe that we can maintain the internet as a critical place for the spread of information and ideas while also making sure that our artists can actually make a living.

We have got to make sure that our laws are serving the needs of persons such as yourselves.

I am proud to represent Georgia's 6th District, which is home to many members of the creative community.

So, Mr. Bezos, basically, then, you're saying 'yes.'

The bottom line here is that you broke a commitment to your users.

And many of you have mentioned John Lewis today and his fight for equality and that I know that all my colleagues and I will carry on.

This is fundamentally unfair and harms small businesses that rely on you to reach customers.

Apple enjoys enormous power to control which apps can reach consumers.

Apple sidelined Screen Time's competition by keeping them out of the App Store.

If Amazon didn't have monopoly power over these sellers, do you think they would choose to stay in a relationship that is characterized by bullying, fear, and panic?

This pattern of behavior has to change.

Do you think this is an acceptable way to treat someone that you described as both a partner and a customer?

Unfortunately, this fits a larger pattern of your Administration, neglecting the health and safety of Americans.

Will you reverse your course and make sure that millions of Americans like me that depend on healthcare and treatment to stay alive, will you reverse your course to make sure that we have the ability to be able to live in this country…

Will you stop playing politics with Americans' healthcare in the middle of a pandemic?

So, I am asking you, sir, not to gamble with American lives, not to gamble with my life.

Stripping millions of Americans of their health care in the middle of a pandemic

I think the Senate needs to understand that leadership needs to happen, and our Nation is waiting, and our parents are watching.

The HEROES Act does provide for increased funding for mental health services, and it also gives the resources necessary to stop the spread of this very devastating disease.

And yet, we are still waiting today, we are still waiting on the Senate to take action on the HEROES Act.

I know that we are here today because of that lack of leadership.
