Something is fundamentally broken when the vast majority of Americans are demanding this action, and the Republicans in the Senate still prevent it from happening.

The American people are begging their elected officials to do something to protect them from the scourge and the ravages of gun violence in our country.

No one should vote for a candidate who is not committed to doing everything in their power to reduce gun violence in this country and to pass commonsense gun safety proposals.

Spare me the bullshit about constitutional rights. You know who didn't have due process? You know who didn't have their constitutional right to life respected? The kids at Parkland, and Sandy Hook, and Uvalde, and Buffalo, and the list…

Stop saying nothing in this legislation would change anything. That is a lie. That is not true. It will save lives.

Spare me the bullshit about constitutional rights.

let me just say I hope we can find a way to move forward. Ms. Bavishi is needed to fill a very important position. Those of us in coastal States know the problem with Oceans and Atmosphere is profound. Perhaps my favorite new figure is…

Let's not forget the upwind pollution that is coming into our downwind States.

We are 16 months into this Administration and what is widely believed to be a world climate crisis caused by carbon emissions.

The American Petroleum Institute has said it supports regulation of methane emissions, correct?

We have cars and light trucks with a final rule that for the overlapping years is less strong than the Obama-era standard.

I really, really want EPA to enforce pollution standards in upwind States, because they have a demonstrated record of not caring.

Well, I beg to differ. But for that reason, I very much hope you will exceed.
