Yes. Earlier this year I wrote to Mattel with serious concerns about their plan to bring the first all-in-one voice-controlled smart baby monitor to the market.

The digital revolution's newest innovations--augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, drones--all of these industries use artificial intelligence, which rely heavily on a free and open Internet.

Without enforceable net neutrality rules in place, broadband providers, like Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, and Spectrum, could block or slow down the content of innovators and businesses using AI.

And what will replace these robust net neutrality protections? Nothing, absolutely nothing is going to replace those rules.

President Trump's unwillingness to put forward ambassadorial nominees, to key countries such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, has signaled a diplomatic retreat from the Middle East and allowed Russia's sphere of influence to grow.

Many of these waterways are federally owned, and it is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' responsibility to dredge these waterways.

The agency that you are seeking to run is charged with reducing risk from disaster, so my question to you is will you work with me to ensure that the Corps of Engineers has the resources and authorities it needs to rehabilitate or replace…

If we don't maintain our nation's rivers, channels, harbors, we will be effectively hitching an anchor to the U.S. economy.

Cape Cod is an economic pillar and recreation oasis for Massachusetts, and the only accessible way to get on that island by land is by two bridges which span the Cape Cod Canal.

In Massachusetts we have had success in securing funding for these important projects.

Many of our nation's roads, ports, airports, railways not only serve as critical arteries of commerce and transportation, but also play an instrumental role in facilitating mass evacuations and expediting recovery and emergency response.

The President's decision not to certify Iran's compliance...undermines our diplomatic efforts across the globe

Collaboration between the executive and legislative branches in concluding international agreements has been diminishing

Agreements that have such legislative approval reflect a more formal commitment by the United States

The lack of Congressional involvement undermines the legitimacy of these agreements

Challenging is a euphemistic way of describing the overwhelming challenge that the planet is going to face but especially the coastal communities in America.

Will you commit to continuing all of the critical climate science that NOAA undertakes?

The scientists in the Federal Government are increasingly paranoid that because the President has pulled out of the Paris Agreement...

It is unacceptable that the Administration is proposing these deep cuts because it is clear that the public does need this funding in the years ahead.

The President's proposed budget cut proposes big cuts to NOAA, including a $250 million cut from NOAA's coastal research programs.

Will you commit to not preventing NOAA scientists from speaking publicly about their work on climate change science or retaliating against those scientists who do?

My advocacy was always a level playing field.

Under Ms. Hartnett White, CEQ would no longer stand for the Council on Environmental Quality; it would stand for Crazy Environmental Quackery.

Her views aren't just incorrect; they are incomprehensible for someone charged to lead the coordination of all Federal environmental action.
