Mr. Zuckerberg, I just want a yes or no answer.

You cannot deregulate your way to full coverage.

The principle reason--Pew Research went out and did a study, and they found the principle reason was price.

But it seems to me if we are going to keep building networks that are already antiquated by the time we put them in the ground, we are just setting up people and the networks being built for failure.

I just find it amazing that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle seem to be telling their rural constituents that any kind of broadband is better than no broadband at all.

For far too many Americans, broadband is unavailable, too slow, or too expensive.

The LIFT America Act is a transformational investment in the future of our Nation.

Climate change has become a political football, and that's wrong.

I am encouraged, however, that President Biden's nominee for EPA Administrator, Michael Regan, has the experience and the expertise and credibility to restore people's faith in the EPA.

EPA must be able to retain the expertise it has while also attracting the best of the rising generation, those who will commit their careers to the Agency and its mission.

The first order of business for the new leadership at the EPA is to reestablish a commitment to sound science as an integral and indispensable part of policymaking.

Today, we are talking about media outlets such as cable news, broadcast news, and radio--and the role they play in disseminating disinformation and fomenting extremism.

When truth becomes a commodity to be traded upon for profit, and facts and consequences don't matter to those who report them, our democracy is undermined.

As we all know, this led directly to the horrific events of January 6th, the attack on our Capitol and our democracy by insurrectionists motivated by former President Trump.

Some of the media sought to downplay this virus from the beginning.

The real tragedy is that it didn't have to be this way. It didn't have to be this bad.

This week marks a grim milestone for our Nation, as a half a million Americans have died from COVID-19.

The key is to make sure that we don't leave people behind.

What they love is to feed their families. And that is what we are talking about.

We need a national strategy not only to combat climate change, but to help our economic recovery once it is safe to do so.

Thank you, Chairman Rush and Ranking Member Upton, for holding this hearing.

I am disturbed by a recent trend of political censorship and liberal bias that has consumed social media platforms.

The United States is a country founded on the principle of free speech and the free exchange of ideas.

Deliberately misleading anyone about medical treatments or sharing false information about the COVID-19 virus is dangerous and wrong.

We cannot stifle the innovation which has given us the greatest tool the world has ever seen.
