Republican Oil-Above-All policies have always centered on one thing: putting the profits of oil tycoons and fossil industry donors first.

By abandoning our friends and allies, we have ceded our leadership on climate action and clean technology development and deployment to China and others.

Instead, President Trump has worked tirelessly to put in place a 1950s approach to energy that only an oil company could love.

The price of gasoline has gone up nearly 25 percent since President Trump took office.

We simply don't need to risk the health and vitality of our coastal communities for the sake of putting more fossil fuels into our energy mix.

The Jersey Shore is a priceless national treasure that is an engine for a tourism industry that generates $38 billion a year

Skyrocketing health care premiums and growing numbers of the uninsured, a wildly unpopular Trump Tax Scam, trillions of dollars in new and mounting debt

After nearly 2 years of Republican control of all branches of Government, my Republican colleagues have little to show for their efforts, and the little they have accomplished is benefitting the wealthy to the detriment of the middle class…

It would be a complete abdication of this Committee's oversight responsibility for Republicans to refuse to hold a hearing on this catastrophic policy and implementation failure.

I call on the Administration to provide detained parents free phone calls to reach their children.

These outrageous rates are one more insult as desperate parents try to weave their way through the bureaucracy.

I think it's bad enough that the Trump administration separated more than 2,300 children from their parents.

I would call on the Trump administration to provide detained parents free phone calls to reach their children.

We must ensure that the Trump administration's alienation of our international allies does not hamper our ability to protect an open internet.

The LIFT America Act ensures that every state has access to funds to help bridge the digital divide.

We must think big in reauthorizing the NTIA.

I am disappointed that my Republican colleagues have circulated a discussion draft that does little more than reintroduce Congressman Tonko's ACCESS BROADBAND Act.

I would like to request time to speak in favor of the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Does anyone claim time in opposition?

I want to thank the staff who worked so hard on H.R. 6 and the opioid bills, in general. Democrats worked to make H.R. 6 a better bill, even though we have concerns about the overall impact of the opioid package. Mr. Chair, I ask my…

I want to enter into the Record my extended remarks regarding a provision included in H.R. 6 that does not enjoy bipartisan support. Section 301 was passed out of the Energy and Commerce Committee on a party-line vote. Had a committee…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I support my colleague's, Representative Kildee's, amendment to this legislation. It is certainly important to require States to report information on individuals with co-occurring…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I support Mr. Rush's amendment, but I remain in strong opposition to the underlying bill. I support my colleague's, Mr. Rush's, work to add cocaine use disorder. As Mr. Rush noted in our…

This is the final amendment to the bill which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended. Mr. Speaker, this amendment would maintain the privacy rights…

He has the power to fix this, and our Republican colleagues should be standing up and making that declaration.
