Disinformation like 'Plandemic' made people skeptical of the need for vaccines and almost certainly cost--contributed to the horrible loss of life during the pandemic.

The regulation that we seek should not attempt to limit constitutionally protected freedom of speech, but it must hold platforms accountable when they are used to incite violence and hatred or, as in the case of the COVID pandemic, spread…

What our witnesses today need to take away from this hearing is that self-regulation has come to the end of its road.

So the key word is 'quantitative,' and let's hope that we can get there.

Happy 11th anniversary to the Affordable Care Act.

In the response and aftermath of the pandemic, we must prioritize addressing these disparities that are so chronic in our society.

We have learned a heck of a lot about the need for a more robust public health infrastructure during this COVID time.

There is no doubt the American Dream and Promise Act will bring much-needed relief to our Dreamers and our immigrant communities, and I will be voting for the bill. However, many of my constituents are disappointed that H.R. 6 includes…

Since 1999 the EPA voluntary Energy Star program has been in effect.

The science tells us all these risks of despair far outweigh COVID-19 in schools.

Children's privacy must be protected by updating COPPA, the current law, for our increasingly complex and connected digital word.

I intend to reintroduce my Kids PRIVCY Act and the KIDS Act to safeguard our kids.

Children need tailored protections from privacy infringements and manipulative marketing practices.

Platforms that are intended for general audiences are not required to protect the privacy of children.

The more time children spend online, the more likely they are to be subjected to harmful or age-inappropriate content.

Children are spending twice as much time online as compared to before the pandemic.

Over half a million Americans have been killed by a merciless virus. That is about the population of New Haven, Connecticut. Now, also picture wiping out Grand Rapids, Michigan; Toledo, Ohio; or McAllen, Texas. Ten million Americans are…

I rise as the proud grandmother of a trans young man, and I just want to say that any family would be lucky to have the amazing and loving and smart and funny Isaac in their family. And I rise today to say thank you to the generations of…
