But we are here talking about a tax bill that gives power to the powerful when we really should be talking in every committee and every Member should be talking about this tragedy that is unfolding at our southern border.

It is sort of hard to believe that our Republican colleagues want to come and celebrate this tax bill when you look at the fact that the great majority of the benefits of it have flowed to the very wealthy in this country, to corporate…

The GOP tax scam has been particularly painful.

The GOP tax scam remains enormously unpopular with the American people.

The Republican tax law is a scam that benefits the wealthy and the corporate interests.

So Americans understand that the GOP tax scam bill is only rewarding the wealthiest among us while drowning our children's future in a sea of debt.

This hearing is nothing more than a blatant attempt by the Republican majority to tout its unpopular tax scam in the hopes that middle-class Americans, who are not seeing any substantial benefits from the new law, might just reconsider…

Republicans are obviously focusing this hearing around businesses because it is businesses and their wealthy owners who reap the main benefits of the GOP tax scam.

I want to thank my colleague from Texas for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to H.R. 2851, legislation that would give Attorney General Jeff Sessions through the Drug Enforcement Administration sweeping new authority to combat…

House Republicans have taken their appalling assault on New Jersey to new lows: The Natural Resources Committee is considering legislation that would penalize States like New Jersey, where Governor Murphy and our people have had the…

Ensuring that our nation is equipped to respond to pandemics, natural disasters, and the accidental or intentional release of toxins is a key part of protecting public health.

Targeted advertising by its very nature separates people into categories and shapes our choices.

However, it also allows a scammer to reach women over a 65 in a particular zip code.

Targeted advertising can provide more relevant advertising to consumers.

Today's hearing will explore online advertising and its role in society.

It's time we all admit that the current system just isn't working for consumers, and Congress needs to do a better job and pass comprehensive privacy legislation so people can take back control that they've lost.

Consumers deserve a real protection. We need rules of the road for what information can be collected and stored on--and stored about consumers.

People are fed up with big corporations tracking their every move online and controlling what they see. They are demanding action and it is time for Congress, for this committee, to deliver.

EPA cannot justify repealing all of the prevention and weakening other important requirements and it has refused to face the fact that it's taking away protections meant to save lives and prevent harm.

I urge this committee to consider the impacts on your neighbors, on our neighbors, our families, without critical protections like those in the chemical disaster rule.

Unfortunately, the administration's decision to walk away from the RMP improvement rule has widespread and harmful ramifications.

It's been over 5 years since this committee held a hearing on the Department of Homeland Security's Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards, or CFATS.

Existing CFATS authorization expires on January 2019 so it's important that Congress act to continue this program.

We should also reject a suggestion from Senate Republicans that we exempt explosive manufacturers from this anti-terrorism program.

And I rise in support of H.R. 5812, the CONNECTIONS Act. I was pleased to work with Representative Griffith on this bipartisan legislation. This bill authorizes funding to enhance and improve State prescription drug monitoring programs…
