That is why Congress enacted the antitrust laws more than a century ago, to keep our economy competitive and to avoid the immense concentration of economic power that we see today.

What we are dealing with here is what happens when big tech becomes too big.

We have spent nearly two years understanding the complex problems posed by big tech companies that have full control over their marketplaces and now we finally turn to the big question which is, how do we fix this?

Unfair and anticompetitive practices by online platform giants are literally killing the ability of consumers to receive robust and probing local news coverage.

We should recognize that a free and vibrant press is essential to the workings of our democracy.

The vitality of a broad, diverse journalism field is imperative to the success of our republic.

I wish all sides could put the weapons down.

Mr. Johnson of Louisiana. That is a motion.

The Committee has held no hearings yet. There are none scheduled, and it is unacceptable.

It has been over two months since the U.S. Capitol was attacked. Our Committee has held no hearings, and there are none scheduled. This is unacceptable.

The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer in Big Tech today, and we are looking for solutions because it is clear that without intervention nothing is going to rebalance the scales.

Throughout the 15-month investigation that preceded these solutions focused hearing, I kept seeing the same thing over and over again, a bigger guy taking advantage of the smaller guy.

I thank the distinguished Chair. I appreciate that very much. Thanks to all our Witnesses for sharing your time and expertise with us today.

We have a few others from the class that Luke Letlow would have been proud to serve in, some of the rising leaders here. I will call on them in no particular order here, but I yield to another gentleman from Texas (Mr. Fallon), if he is…

I thank my friend from Louisiana, Mr. Higgins, for his remarks. We sat together at the funeral of Luke, and it was a great service. There were so many kind words said about him. And he is remembered to just be the great spirit and the…

We have a 'Houston, we have a problem.' We need to do something to replenish the Chinese capital that left town.

It seems inherently unfair to allow one judge in a specific jurisdiction to issue a ruling, which essentially binds the entire Nation.

I appreciate all of the witnesses' time today, and also Mr. Burgess Owens for standing in for me.

I can't imagine a more divisive, polarizing, or unjust measure that one that would by government force require people who never owned slaves to pay reparations to those who never were slaves based not on anything they had done, but because…

I am really happy that we are dealing with the subject of ending forced arbitration because it is, particularly in this financial climate, it is an important issue for my constituents.

I certainly can attest that personnel is policy in every sense of that phrase.
