But I find that hard to believe, since we saw the Financial Times report recently that the big four broadband companies invested less in capital projects last year after the repeal of net neutrality protections.

I think that it is just--we have to have an honest conversation that eventually that will trickle down to consumers.

I think that it is important to note that when the net neutrality repeal was announced back in November of 2017, that day Comcast actually removed from its website its three-year pledge against paid prioritization.

I think that we should think about putting in protections for Lifeline.

The internet of today grew dramatically with little or no Government interference.

Their partisan approach is not the answer. Title II is not necessary to preserve a free and open internet.

A permanent, legislative solution produced in good faith with our Democratic colleagues is the only way to protect consumers, innovation, and an open internet.

Without net neutrality--a free and open internet simply does not exist.

Words like 'net neutrality' and 'open internet' don't capture how central this issue is for our society.

A free and open internet isn't just about making sure that we can watch videos on our computers or on our phones.

It is sad that we even have to hold this hearing on legislating to safeguard the internet.

Conservatives and liberals alike worry about their voices being shut down by corporations that don't agree with their point of view.

Frankly, Title II could provide the Federal Government near unlimited and unchecked authority to regulate and tax the internet.

I just want an assurance that this kind of wholesale family separation is never going to happen again under your watch.

Can you assure us today that wholesale family separations will never happen again under your watch?

Well, what is the reason why this was allowed to continue without--I mean, you agree that it wasn't good.

I share the concerns about child welfare, and I especially share the concerns that Commander White...

Just please get back to us with the requested documents about family separation and responsive to our request.

I am very frustrated with the lack of documentation on this and other issues, as you know from my previous questions.

I am just concerned--again, I have explained. Nine months, no documents, no response.

I just want a commitment to make your records available to ensure that the Department turns these documents over to the committee as soon as possible.

Well, would you commit to providing those documents to this committee by the end of the week?

The FY 2020 budget continues this sabotage by reviving the failed Graham-Cassidy ACA repeal proposal.

Under President Trump's leadership, HHS has played a major role in policies to sabotage the Affordable Care Act.

The proposed budget for HHS cuts $1.4 trillion dollars in essential healthcare programs that are critical to working families and to seniors across the nation.
