In Massachusetts, more than five people are dying every day, on average, from opioid overdoses, and we need action now on this.

I would think we might work together to try to get a time agreement for those two nominees who have been waiting since October.

We need to strengthen protections. We need to close loopholes for our most vulnerable workers, and we need to make sure that our enforcement agencies have the resources they need to be able to enforce the antidiscrimination laws that are…

The EEOC has a key role to play in ensuring that all workers in this country can do their job free of harassment and free of discrimination.

But for the EEOC to really stamp out harassment in America's workplaces, we need to keep fighting for the funding it needs to be able to do its job.

Now, the Trump administration has proposed decreasing the EEOC's budget, which the Commission's own budget request said would result in a, quote, 'Net attrition of investigators.'

I am very concerned you will not forcefully defend the rights of LGBTQ employees, and others, when business owners try to use their personal religious beliefs as an excuse to disregard their employees' civil rights.

It is critical today that the EEOC remains independent and that those appointed to the Commission make it clear they do not share President Trump's views on race, civil rights, women, people with disabilities, or the LGBTQ community.

From our perspective, from day one, President Trump has rolled back worker protections and made it easier for corporations to take advantage of and discriminate against their workers.

We believe there is no medically valid reason, including a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, to exclude transgender individuals from military service.

The biggest scandal of your tenure is your unwillingness to do your job and enforce the laws that reduce housing discrimination and segregation across this country.

Affirmatively further fair housing.

I just see you heading in the wrong direction; that is, going backwards.

Fifty years ago, Congress passed the Fair Housing Act, but housing discrimination is still a huge problem in this country.

I really resent that remark. I have asked the question about how it is that delaying enforcement of rules that were already in place, to delay--to help end housing discrimination would help.

But whatever happens, make sure that no one focuses on the out of control drug prices that the drug companies are charging; charging, simply because they can.

I think it is always fair to look for ways to improve a program like 340B, to make sure it is supporting those who need it the most.

If health centers lost access to these discounted drugs, do you believe that patients would be better off or worse off?

The drug companies' margins are about 6 times ours, on average.

If 340B did not exist, drug companies would have an extra $6 billion in their pocket.

The 340B Program helps hospitals and clinics providing care to the most vulnerable patients--the uninsured, the underinsured, people with HIV or AIDS, children with cancer--by requiring drug companies to provide medications at a discounted…

According to your previous public comments, the B83 is required to hold certain targets in North Korea at risk.

Will putting nuclear weapons on attack submarines or surface ships require making new arrangements for port visits?

Will the impact on readiness be part of the Department's analysis of alternatives?

I think maintaining our current arsenal and our current programs should be our number-one priority.
