Even CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield admitted the failures of the administration to collect demographic information on COVID-19 infections and deaths.

The most important part of Congress' work is to pass the Heroes Act so that we can get resources out for PPEs, testing, hospitals, and others

It is just unfortunate that the administration has taken that attitude.

I tend to agree with you, this administration has been less than desirable in their attitude in reference to this.

We need to see a very effective treatment or a vaccine before we can get beyond this.

Without those resources, I mean, what we have seen as a health care crisis, where we have had to put a lot of dollars into public health, is, of course, now also become a financial and economic crisis.

I want the Federal response to the coronavirus to be robust.

It is unhelpful to the outbreak response for administration staff to state, as recently as last week, that the virus is contained when we know that is not true because cases are on the rise.

We are at a critical point in responding to the coronavirus crisis that is facing our Nation.

The American public needs to be able to trust the information coming from all levels of Government.

Now we are being cut back. And to me, I can't accept that.

I am not trying to diminish anyone else's concerns, but I have to be very concerned this--you know, this is where the major attack was.

The only way that can be done--stopped, is really through detection.

But if we lose 3,000 or 4,000 people on an attack in New York or Chicago or Boston or Los Angeles, that will be the front page.

What type of security measures or protections have been put in place regarding the security of this data?

Who and where is all of this facial recognition data stored?

I believe the FRA should be giving States all necessary resources to enhance grade crossing safety to minimize fatalities.

If we don't solve the problem of banking access before transitioning to a cashless society, we will be preventing families across the country from accessing many of the basic goods and services they need to survive.

I will continue to strive to make sure that every American that works hard has the opportunity to live in this country and benefit from its greatness.

There obviously is some issue and some problem with what is transpiring between the workforce and the incredible margins of profits that the airlines are making.

I strongly believe that every person in this country should have a fair opportunity to succeed, and that a living wage and affordable healthcare are an integral part of that goal.

In this country people should be able to make a living and raise their families. That is the American way.

We make sure dogs have water, period. We make sure animals have water. So to think that there needs to be an OSHA requirement if there is not one is just absurd.

This is not an accounting issue. It is a life-and-death issue and we have to face up to it.

I have been a long-time supporter of the Non-Profit Security Grant program and was proud to be a cosponsor of Chairman Thompson's legislation to formally authorize the program.
