nothing in the legislation that we are currently considering takes this military option off the table.

Under the Constitution and War Powers Act, the President may not take unilateral military action.

This administration's rhetoric implying that they are willing to use military force in Venezuela is unfortunate.

That is why I introduced this legislation, which would simply prohibit funds from being spent on any unauthorized military engagement in Venezuela.

However, this legislation we are discussing today jeopardizes that outcome in several ways by appearing to take military force off the table.

Under Article I of the Constitution, Congress decides whether America will go to war.

The Constitution gave Congress, not the executive branch, the power to determine when the United States goes to war.

Opponents of this legislation are not pushing for military actions.

The time for Congress to weigh in is now.

The Constitution and the War Powers Resolution are clear that it is our responsibility to consider the use of force before any troops are introduced into hostilities.

Working families across the country are struggling to make ends meet.

So, Mr. Legere, I applaud both T-Mobile and Sprint have been, most people would recognize, scrappy, aggressive players in this market and it has resulted in maybe not better experiences for workers, according to Mr. Shelton, but at least…

This merger is not only bad for workers, but it also is a disaster for consumers.

I look forward to hearing from both CEOs on the implication of this merger as on the deployment of 5G.

I don't think we should be looking at transactions like this and basing an approval or disapproval on your personal judgment or assessment.

In response to this explosive report, Chair Nadler and I are seeking the production of every communication and document related to this case.

The transaction will give these customers more and better options.

Our goal in deciding whether this merger makes sense, is in the public interests, is if it is good for consumers, it is good for American jobs, and whether it will result in more choice and lower prices.

Their increased investment will lead to more competition, better service, and more jobs, all to the benefit of American consumers.

We want to preserve good-paying family-supporting jobs.

Not only did the Antitrust Division lose this challenge, but this case has been mired in controversy from day one due to the President's shameful attempts to interfere in antitrust enforcement.

First, we can say no to mergers like the T-Mobile/Sprint transaction and preserve competition in consumer and labor markets.

they went as far and have been found guilty of forming a company union to stop the union from organizing people at T-Mobile

For the benefit of my constituents, I want to hear everything I can today about the potential this merger has for positive or negative impact on rural communities.

So, I want to start with, there has been a suggestion somehow, and I wasn't good in math, but there has been a suggestion that we are going from two to three, which just seems to me a really silly claim.
