I sincerely hope to see tangible progress soon because every day we wait is another day patients and providers are not able to benefit from some of the most important provisions of the law.

It does not address EPA's substantial misuse of small refinery waivers to exempt refineries that are neither small nor in financial distress.

There is so much innovation waiting to be unleashed and so many ideas that will lower costs and increase quality.

I am not prepared to allow the FCC's inaction on this issue to prevent us from making meaningful progress to bring broadband internet to Tribal lands.

Following that report, Ranking Member Pallone and I wrote to the FCC asking how they plan to fix the deficiencies identified by the GAO study.

It is becoming abundantly clear that this FCC does not respect the treaty and trust responsibilities of the Federal Government to federally recognized Tribes.

The SANDy Act takes an important step toward fixing longstanding problems by elevating the critical role that lifesaving communications systems play during emergencies.

Superstorm Sandy devasted my district in New Jersey, and we saw firsthand how critical communications networks can be during emergencies.

The RAY BAUM'S Act is a fitting tribute to the late staff director of this committee, a man who committed his life until the very end to public service.

I want to extend my sincerest congratulations to Rep. Blackburn, who will represent the people of Tennessee in the United States Senate.

In declining to defend these protections in the Texas v. U.S. lawsuit, the Trump administration is seeking to, once again, subject tens of millions of Americans with preexisting conditions to the discrimination they faced before the ACA…

We owe it to the American people to ask whether anything about that attack could be replicated here.

I am disappointed that these four bipartisan bills have yet to receive consideration before the House.

As a committee, we need a deeper analysis of cybersecurity issues at the Department of Energy so members can truly understand the challenges and threats facing our grid and the energy sector as a whole.

So in your experience, you know, how does exposure to educational program mandated by Kid Vid rules actually benefit the children?

I want to thank you for your excellent programming that you provided to America's children over the years.

For the millions of low-income families without access to broadband alternatives, I don't think so.

I mean, is that too much to ask? Apparently Chairman Pai and Commissioner O'Rielly think so.

I encourage the FCC to change course and focus on what is important to consumers.

The changes encourage more consolidation and less local and diverse viewpoints.

Chairman Pai also proposed to roll back the Lifeline program in a way that could cut phone or internet service for approximately 8.3 million people.

Chairman Pai eliminated the FCC net neutrality rules which protected consumers, small businesses, and free speech.

In the modern age, broadband access should be added to that list.

According to Pew Research Center, only 45 percent of people making less than $30,000 and 50 percent of people 65 and over are home broadband users.
