Ed Markey: “I thank the Senator.”

FERC has a statutory obligation to ensure that consolidation in the energy sector serves the public interest, not corporate profits. It is impossible to see how this consolidation will not put the public interest at risk.

While this news is deeply welcomed, it is long overdue. It is a tragedy that it took Robert’s near-death condition for his case to receive the attention that it required for his release to be negotiated.

The FDA is correct in its recognition that the GRAS rule is flawed and overdue for correction, but this proposed rule will not protect families from exposure to dangerous food chemicals.

I am praying for Robert and his family today.
