Big banks shouldn’t be allowed to bankroll the climate crisis.
My Fossil Free Finance Act requires major financial institutions to cut financial sector emissions 50% by 2035, immediately end financing for new or expanded fossil fuel projects, and reach zero financial sector emissions by 2050.

Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Trump’s reckless tariffs. Costly boondoggles that are skyrocketing costs for Main Street while Americans’ paychecks lose ground. Trump is more focused on golden ballrooms and helipads instead of making life more affordable for workers and families.
Today's the 8th anniversary of the brutal slaying of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, ordered by Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman. We cannot trust Saudi leaders, yet Trump wants to allow them to enrich uranium that could be used for nuclear bombs. Stop the deal.
Elon Musk advising Trump on warfare is just handing over your taxpayer money to a trillionaire. Musk will push his AI and space technologies, make money from defense contracts, then pour that money into MAGA campaigns. Corruption in plain sight.
My Statement on the Bipartisan Permitting Reform Proposal.
Trump is leaving communities in Massachusetts and disaster victims in blue states without essential disaster relief. Denying disaster relief to score political points is unacceptable. Trump must stop putting politics over people and deliver aid to Americans who need it.
Americans in crisis deserve support—no matter what state they live in or who they vote for. Trump is putting his ego over essential aid and is playing political games with disaster victims and communities. Unacceptable.
Trans people deserve the right to experience the freedom, the joy, and the opportunity afforded to every other American.
Trump’s EPA is rolling out the red carpet for polluting data centers all to benefit Big Tech. My new report outlines the attacks on environmental protections and calls on Congress to act. We must protect communities, not profit off of harm.

75% of Americans don’t want a data center in their neighborhood, but Trump’s EPA is greenlighting data center construction at the expense of our health. My new report details how Lee Zeldin is bending a knee to Big Tech by rolling back protections and failing the public.
On National Day of Remembrance for Indian Boarding Schools, we acknowledge the children taken from their families who never returned home, survivors and descendents still suffering, and the lasting impact on native communities. We must commit to truth and healing now.
Donald Trump is like AI itself—over confident, often wrong, and prone to hallucinating facts. His “morally binding” agreement means nothing.
We can’t let Big Tech regulate itself. Congress must act now.
RFK Jr. and the CDC delayed this year’s no-cost COVID-19 vaccine for kids—the latest move in their Make America Sick Agenda. Every child deserves to be protected from preventable disease. I'm demanding CDC answer for these delays immediately.
Trump wants prisons to cut off medical care for trans people, and wants the Supreme Court to let him do it. Withholding necessary medical care from prisoners is cruel. Politics shouldn't interfere with care. SCOTUS must reject this effort.
Trump is selling nuclear tech to Saudi Arabia despite reported US intelligence that the Saudis still want a bomb—while the Trumps have taken billions in bribes from the Saudis. This is Trump corruption at the expense of US national security. Stop the deal.
My Statement on Trump's Rollback of Fuel Economy Standards.
ICE and CBP are using facial recognition to track, target, and surveil communities across the country expanding Trump’s surveillance state. My Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act would prohibit government use of this dangerous & discriminatory technology.
Trump’s proposed nuke deal with Saudi Arabia could help them build nuclear bombs and ignite a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. This dangerous deal would enrich Trump's cronies but make everyone less safe. No nukes for Saudi Arabia. Trump must cancel this deal immediately.
We need to break down employment barriers for people in recovery. My legislation with @jayapal.house.gov and @repricklarsen.bsky.social will strengthen community partnerships and connect people with jobs, support, and mentorship—supporting lasting recovery and helping communities heal.
Let’s provide opportunities for more than a million Americans—especially young people—from all walks of life to earn a good wage while serving their communities & working toward a climate-resilient future. That’s what my Civilian Climate Corps with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov is all about.
