I remain hopeful that the talks in Barbados between Maduro and the opposition... are steps that can support reaching free and fair elections in 2024 and 2025.

I support the AFFECT Bill because we aim to keep our focus and priority on the plight of the people of Venezuela during these challenging times.

I believe we need to do all we can to push back against Russian aggression and to prepare for a day when Ukrainians have an opportunity to engage in reconstruction of the immense damage that Russian war crimes have caused.

These restrictions only hurt the people of Venezuela, adding pressure and desperation to an increasingly difficult situation.

I commend regional leaders that continue to seek ways to provide humanitarian assistance for Venezuelans.

I believe that your proposal would allow the President to seize some of the assets, which I fully support.

The reckless push to mine and drill in our public lands is also hitting my home State.

President Trump's first year in office has been remarkably damaging to our environment, public health, and natural resources.

The national monuments review has proven to be a sham, with preconceptions that benefit the fossil fuel industry.

The courts have already ruled that the EPA acted illegally--illegally--in its efforts to undermine the methane and ozone rules.

The pristine and diverse ecosystems protected in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is threatened by a relentless and hasty pushing for drilling.

Climate change is the greatest environmental threat our planet faces.

This clear interference of political leadership is forcing employees to violate their scientific integrity policies, and it must stop.

Your actions are distracting the EPA from its core mission, and creating a toxic work environment, one that has demoralized your staff.

President Trump's first year in office has damaged our environment, public health, and natural resources.

I find it alarming that this administration continues to prioritize energy dominance and profits for the fossil fuel industry over the protection of our national treasures.

Mr. Secretary, your task is to protect, preserve, and use resources wisely for the benefit of the American people today and for future generations, and right now I personally do not feel you are living up to that mission.

The department that serves the American public, that tells the story of America, should reflect America's diversity and should never marginalize minorities.

That is absolutely unacceptable.

Withdrawing from the Paris climate accord or watering down fuel efficiency standards will harm the health of our children and grandchildren.

the transparency issue is revolting. It is absolutely unacceptable that we continue to let Members who abuse their employees hide.

In a Nation as prosperous as the United States, purposefully inflicting harm on vulnerable people is just plain immoral.

We have a moral and legal responsibility to Native Americans, and when we fall short, it is just not a violation of treaty agreements.

These programs give the American taxpayer a great deal in return, and they also protect their resources while creating jobs and promoting growth.
