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.

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

The witnesses here today have demonstrated time and time again that they do not--that self-regulation has not worked.

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

Happy 11th anniversary to the Affordable Care Act.

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

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

I am proud to cosponsor H.R. 1868 to prevent arbitrary cuts to Medicare and to ensure that the American Rescue Plan is treated in the same way as previous coronavirus bills have been treated, including the CARES Act. This legislation, as…

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…

This is a human rights issue. Let's open the doors of our schools and let our kids learn and thrive again.

This is a historic day. It is the beginning of the end of the great COVID depression. It also marks the end of a decades-long successful battle by big corporations and the super rich in this country for trickle-down economics, the idea…

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

America can lead a new era of technological innovation. We must lead with our values for freedom, human rights, and human dignity.
