Director Monica Riva Talley was quoted in the article “New Process to Nix Unused Trademarks Leads 2022 USPTO Priorities,” published by Bloomberg Law. From the article:

“The Shop Safe Act—which would extend liability to platforms for some third-party counterfeits—will be a bill to watch, trademark attorney Monica Riva Talley of Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox PLLC said. She worries limiting liability to ‘goods that implicate health and safety’ could hinder the proposal’s effectiveness, arguing that liability shouldn’t hinge on the type of product sold.”
