We should be talking about access to care, not having a debate about settled science. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine misinformation is distracting and dangerous. One thing is clear—we must not confirm him as the top health care official in our country. (Part 1 of 3)
The climate crisis is here, and with the passage of the Water Resources Development Act, we've approved funding for communities affected by flood risk and aging water infrastructure. From flood mitigation to storm risk, we're ready to support our state's water infrastructure.
As Americans brace for the winter, energy-efficient heating and cooling technologies are vital. By expanding access to heat pumps and other energy-efficient technologies, my ICEE HOT Act would cut emissions, save families and businesses money, and help create clean energy jobs.
Blue background with a picture of a heat pump and rainbow and blue text that reads, “ICEE HOT Act
This bill will:
* Cover 30% of the costs for eligible building electrification products, including heat pumps, water heaters, induction stoves, and smart panels,
* Expand support for industrial heat pumps, which can lower emissions and costs in energy-intensive industrial processes,
* Require funds to benefit disadvantaged businesses and entities employing disadvantaged individuals,
* Provide additional incentives for using union labor and adopting higher-efficiency systems, and
* Streamline access to federal and state rebate programs.”
I am extremely disappointed that House Republican leaders are playing politics with the lives of children and teens by blocking my popular, bipartisan Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection act. This is not the end of the fight.
Trump cannot change this fact: tens of thousands of people want to get to work building a livable future. I’ve been fighting for a Civilian Climate Corps, and over the past year, nearly 20k ACC members have helped fight climate change. We won't stop now. www.berkshireeagle.com/opinion/colu...
I applaud PBS for continuing to lead the way in creating children’s programming like Carl the Collector that is accessible and inclusive, especially for kids with disabilities. This educational programming demonstrates the unique value of public media. www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...
We are one step closer to passing the Social Security Fairness Act to restore benefits for 3 million public servants from firefighters and teachers to VA nurses and Public Health Service workers.
Victims of police brutality deserve tailored support to start on their road to healing. @reppressley.bsky.social and I wrote to the Office for Victims of Crime to request that these victims and their families get access to much-needed resources.
The headlines may have faded, but the pain felt by survivors of police violence remains. That's why @markey.senate.gov and I are urging the Office for Victims of Crime to ensure victims of police brutality can access the resources they need to heal. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
Big Oil has been quietly cutting deals to send massive amounts of fossil fuels abroad. My NO SPILLS Act will strengthen the review process and make sure the DOT Maritime Administration stops rubber-stamping these projects. We can't put our communities, oceans, & climate in peril for Big Oil profits.
Purple, yellow, and green swirled background with text that reads: “NO SPILLS Act
To address the risks to communities and climate posed by deepwater ports, this bill will:
* Increase the financial assurances and caps on liability required for offshore facilities,
* Expand outreach and notice for proposed projects,
* Include public opinion, community impact, and additional environmental review criteria as factors in the national interest determination test,
* Require a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for projects in the Gulf of Mexico, and
* Prohibit LNG research in MARAD's Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance program.”
No President should have unilateral control of America's nuclear arsenal—especially not one who incited an insurrection. That's why @reptedlieu.bsky.social and I have introduced the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/17/o...
