The fact that we would keep these middle- and low-income countries, particularly the poor countries, from having those drugs, I think, is immoral, quite frankly, and not the productive way to go forward.

It has been said today that we are all in this together. And when we say 'all,' it reflects an understanding that this is a worldwide pandemic, and that crushing the virus therefore requires the access to vaccines, and that must extend to…

I think I feel sometimes that we are not beginning at the same place in believing that we what we face right now with the climate is an existential challenge to life on this planet that is going to require some major changes, some…

I want to thank Representative Cardenas for your leadership on this, on addressing this issue.

Platforms must demonstrate real efforts toward keeping scammers off their sites.

I would like to see the subcommittee pass what we--what I have called the Informed Consumer Act.

This is an example of the sort of announcement I had hoped that the new Acting Chairwoman would make.

I am so glad that my colleagues and I have passed legislation to provide COVID-19 vaccines to most Americans at no cost, but we must extend that protection to the uninsured people as well.

I just want to say they deserve recognition and mourning, the families who have lost their loved ones.

Thank goodness, for the Affordable Care Act and the difference that it has made.

I am a big supporter of the PRO Act, the Protecting the Right to Organize, if we want to rebuild a middle class even as we make our country more green.

I really appreciate the effort that everyone is making right now, particularly our firefighters going into harm's way.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member, for this important hearing.
