A bit of ~personal news, as the kids say:📣 I’m excited to share that today, I started a new job as Researcher for @SenateBudget, under Chairman @SenWhitehouse, where I'll be focusing on corporate oversight and accountability.⬇️ eenews.net/articles/senat…

We're at the point where a U.S. Senator is saying health care and hunger don't matter because we all die eventually.

Insurers are watching exploding wildfire and coastal flooding risk. No insurance; no mortgages. Fed Chair Powell predicted whole regions of U.S. in 10-15 years with no mortgages. Buckle up. Fossil fuel lies got us here. cnn.com/2025/05/29/wea…

As Budget Chair I got constant Republican lectures to ignore looming climate disaster because of the debt. “The debt, the debt, the DEBT!!” Now they’re in charge and they’re hiking debt limit $4 trillion for tax breaks, mostly to the richest. What a sham.

WATCH: @SenWhitehouse leads EPW Dems to press Trump's EPA chief Lee Zeldin for answers. In just over three months, Zeldin has made families worse off, ignored science, attacked the rule of law, and eroded America’s trust in the EPA. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

"If your children were drinking water in Santa Ana, maybe you would give a damn instead of suggesting any grant that takes lead out of the water must be waste, fraud, or abuse because you need money for a tax cut for rich people." @SenAdamSchiff called out Zeldin in @EPWCmte 👇

WATCH: @SenWhitehouse leads a spotlight forum to hear from Americans about how crippling EPA would harm their communities. As Trump & Zeldin’s EPA slash and burn continues, more and more families will pay with their health and their wallets. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Zeldin can’t get his stories straight.

Crypto & AI data centers can support clean energy, but they're burning more fossil fuels & driving up families’ energy prices instead. We can lead on AI & climate safety with @SenWhitehouse’s Clean Cloud Act, which ensures that the industries profiting also pay their own way.

Climate risk “is a systemic risk that threatens the very foundation of the financial sector. If insurance is no longer available, other financial services become unavailable too.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

An Earth Day message from the late Pope Francis: “‘God always forgives; we humans sometimes forgive, and sometimes not; the earth never forgives.’ The earth does not forgive: if we have despoiled the earth, its response will be very ugly.”

EPA Administrator Zeldin is depriving hardworking Americans of funding to lower energy bills & create jobs. A federal court eviscerated his witch hunt to claw back clean energy investments. Now, @SenWhitehouse & @FrankPallone are demanding this illegal & costly crusade ends.

“I think what most people don’t know is how close we are to a climate-driven economic collapse that comes when climate risk becomes uninsurable.” —@SenWhitehouse on climate impacts on your home

Trump and Zeldin’s slash and burn continues. By crippling the EPA, American families will see higher energy costs, increasingly toxic air, and more polluted water. nbcnews.com/science/scienc…

It isn't enough for Trump to send the EPA after funds that would lower Americans' energy costs and create jobs. He's also weaponizing the Justice Department in service of the fossil fuel industry.

Trump's EPA chief Lee Zeldin has known all along his witch hunt against clean energy projects is baseless and illegal. Now, we’re learning his political witch hunt could wind up costing the agency—and the American people—billions in damages.

Toxic polluters rejoice. Trump's EPA Chief Lee Zeldin is canceling grants that protect rural children from toxic chemicals.

Through @EPWCmte, I successfully pushed to release funds for major RI infrastructure projects. As a result, USDOT is freeing a quarter billion dollars we had secured for the I-95 bridge repairs on top of our previously announced $221 million emergency Washington Bridge funding.

Climate change isn't just about polar bears. It's driving up home insurance costs & risks cascading across our economy into a 2008-style recession. TODAY: EPW Dems & @SenateFinance hear from affected homeowners in North Carolina, Florida, & Texas.

WATCH: Ranking Member @SenWhitehouse leads EPW Dems to evaluate EPA, Federal Highways Administration, & Army Corps nominees. Americans deserve experienced leaders who will uphold the law, not fall in line for Trump. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
