The recent announcement that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will provide the island with $18.5 billion in developmental assistance is a huge step in the right direction.

You are a small town with very little infrastructure.

What makes you all FEMA and what makes the United States the United States is that we do not look backward, we look forward.

Rebuilding Puerto Rico would cost $50 billion and that Puerto Rico was running out of time before the next hurricane season.

Why after 6 months does Puerto Rico still 'have a long way to go,' as you have said?

The Administration has given payday lenders a green light to engage in predatory lending practices that result in annual interest rates as high as 600 percent.

The Trump Administration reversed an increase in the overtime threshold, costing 4 million workers a collective $1.2 billion in additional wages per year.

The Administration has rolled back protections for workers, for consumers, and for the environment.

It's really critical that we ensure that we are adequately prioritizing Federal funding for states that have been hardest hit by the opioid crisis.

I want to thank you and the Ranking Member for your bipartisan work on this discussion draft of this bill.

If you are an individual with an individual case, who has to go seek out an attorney, arrange, perhaps, a contingency fee arrangement with that attorney, wait 300 days at a minimum to get your case heard, you are less likely to be able to…

I think that is critically important to the work of the EEOC.

Title VII protects the right of women to be free from discrimination based on their decisions about if and when to have a family and whether to continue a pregnancy.

You brought a landmark case fighting for the right of women to not be discriminated against in the workplace because they are pregnant.

I would really look forward to working with you on that and getting your considered opinion about it.

I think the real question is what is the right framework for this, not should there be one.

So will you commit to working with Congress to develop ways of protecting constituent privacy and well-being, even if it means that that results in some laws that will require you to adjust your business model?

But at the end of the day, your business model does prioritize advertisers over the mission.

There is clearly tension... between your bottom line and what is best for your users.

I am concerned that Facebook's profitability rests on two potentially problematic foundations.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
