If we fail to act now it is scientifically irrefutable that there will be catastrophic and irreversible consequences for humanity and our planet.

We support your effort to ensure meaningful and effective measures to control climate change, an immediate challenge facing the United States and the whole world today.

In light of this history of climate denials, I'm deeply concerned about President Trump's dangerous statements on climate change.

We believe that we need to act now for future generations.

Avoiding FOCA would make it easier for the White House to stock the panel with climate change deniers.

FOCA requires committee meetings and records to be open to the public.

They view the practice of transparency as a nuisance. Whereas most Americans see transparency as essential to our democracy, this Administration responds to oversight requests as if they are Presidential harassment.

The Green New Deal is a bold and ambitious at its goals. It doesn't really stipulate how to get there.

Those who saw it as a victory were part of an elite class of Americans who represented the wealthiest in the country.

I see it as the modern day version of 'Let them eat cake.'

The winners are clearly the haves, and the losers are clearly the have-nots.

The day the Republicans passed their tax plan, there was a televised celebration in the White House Rose Garden.

We will live wealthy and on the hog, and everybody else will get the crumbs whatever is left.

The benefits primarily of this tax bill went to the wealthiest individuals in the country and the largest corporations.

189 Democrats, every single Democrat, voted no on this Republican tax bill because they understood that the benefits would go mainly to the wealthiest individuals.

So here's the problem. Here is the problem with everything you said, because you're trying to say--tell us--you're trying to tell us that it was a DOJ request.

But the evidence shows that you and your staff had been trying to, for months, to find an agency, any agency willing to make this request.

I like how the Secretary has crisp yes-no answers when the Republicans are asking, but when the Democrats are asking, that's not the kind of answers he gives.

Actually, my bill in 2015 and 2016 increased the wage replacement rate to address that issue.

I always tell people, how do I know? Because my siblings were really mad when they were not getting Christmas gifts that year.

I do not want us to think that it has to be one or the other. Job training is crucial. Crucial.

The American people have a lot of questions when it comes to this President and his conduct, when he went to Helsinki and he bowed before Vladimir Putin, and nobody can really understand why he acts the way he acts.

It appears that the President has a fondness for entrusting those who will, one, lie for him, two, break the law for him, three, cheat the system for him.

But yet, the Republican minority has never asked to see his taxes, right?

My constituents need to know whether the President has financial ties that are causing him to protect his own bottom line rather than the best interests of this country.
