I represent more than 70,000 veterans. I am also proud to represent Fairchild Air Force Base...
I think it's important to be conscious of consumer demand and advances in vehicle technology and how that affects the fuel market.
I am proud to be helping lead this Congress, and that is the reauthorization of the U.S. SAFE WEB Act.
All five FTC Commissioners were at the hearing, and they were talking about how critical it was to reauthorize the legislation.
Thanks to the SAFE WEB Act, the Commission can work on cases with an international dimension.
To protect Americans, the FTC is our top cop on the beat--both here at home and abroad.
U.S. SAFE WEB is a successful tool for the FTC to protect Americans from online threats from overseas.
The Commissioners testified that it was key to the FTC's international work, and we agree.
Earlier this year, this subcommittee held an oversight hearing with the Federal Trade Commission where we focused much of our attention on data privacy.
I also want to thank Mr. Welch and Mr. Bilirakis for their leadership in reauthorizing Brand USA.
I am concerned about costly, government-imposed mandates and policies that significantly increase the cost of new vehicles.
I believe instead of wasting taxpayer dollars on an expensive effort to increase carbon emissions and decrease clean energy production, we should be encouraging the development of new technologies and efficiencies that decrease emissions…
Government mandates, as my previous colleague just mentioned, whether at the Federal, State, or local level, can often have drastic unintended consequences.
I am committed also to making sure that those with preexisting conditions have the confidence and the certainty that they will always have quality, access to quality and affordable healthcare.
What is bad or incredibly troubling is when sites are permitted to have an entire business model which is abuse and harm.
I would like to bring the statute back to its original purpose, was to apply to Good Samaritans who are engaged in responsible and reasonable content moderation practices.
It is clear we have reached a point where it is incumbent upon us as policymakers to have a serious and thoughtful discussion about achieving the balance on Section 230.
Section 230 is intended to protect, quote, 'interactive computer services' from being sued over what users post while also allowing them to moderate content that may be harmful, illicit, or illegal.
I am not for gutting Section 230. It is essential for consumers and entities in the internet ecosystem.
CLT is strong, sustainable, and a renewable low-carbon building material, and it has the potential to significantly increase the energy efficiency of buildings.
As many of you know, I am proud of how eastern Washington has been leading the country in clean energy solutions such as clean, renewable, reliable, affordable hydropower.
