Now we have TikTok, which is even worse.

I do feel that the horse has left the barn. At this point, it's a lot harder to get the horse back in the barn.

Nothing could be further from the truth. They'll get more powerful and more dictatorial, and they'll have the means to carry it out with more impunity.

One of the things that I find most frightening about this new security law is that they have this whole idea of extraterritorial jurisdiction.

I feel for you that you can't go back to your country and just enjoy your life as a free person.

I share a lot of the sentiment that Congressman Davis just shared with you as it relates to his district.

It was pretty much unacceptable that there were not real alternative solutions provided before they were stripped of working solutions.

They want policies that are voluntary and locally-led, not dictated or mandated.

They want an EPA that is collaborative and not punitive.
