I am incredibly proud today to introduce the Clean Electricity and Transmission Acceleration Act with my friend, Congressman Mike Levin, to remove the financial and regulatory barriers that are delaying the clean and cheap energy…

This bipartisan bill would provide mandatory funding to purchase development rights via conservation easements from private and Tribal landowners.

I just want to join my colleagues in underscoring the importance that the next farm bill preserves the nearly $20 billion provided in the Inflation Reduction Act for USDA conservation programs.

Recently, U.S. Rep. Sean Casten, an Illinois Democrat, and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, introduced the Conservation Opportunity and Voluntary Environment Resilience Program (COVER) Act.

I am proud that it is both bipartisan and bicameral, co-led in this Congress by Congresswoman Slotkin of Michigan and my friend Mr. Bost of this Committee from Illinois and Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio.

I think all of us on this committee want to make sure that we stop those things.

I appreciate the confusion, and part of the reason I asked the question is, we have seen a lot of public actions by Treasury, by the Justice Department.

I am troubled by the fact that there is a common nexus in all those, which is crypto networks that are used to evade anti-money laundering rules.

We do need a fully-funded Defense Authorization Act.

I just want to raise a concern with some public reporting that has come out this week that Chairman McHenry has been threatening to hold up the Defense Authorization Act unless we get a crypto-friendly bill.

Next week Americans across the country are going to gather around their dinner tables and share what they are thankful for. I hope my Republican colleagues will use that moment to reflect on how lucky they are to work with House Democrats…

I would challenge the assertion that all tax equity is treated the same way.

I do have some concerns I want to raise about the tax equity provisions, specifically as they relate to clean energy.

We operate on a September 30 fiscal year. Here we are 39 days later, and the majority has yet to even propose a way to keep the government open. Last September, they kicked the can down the road and kept the government open for 45 days. In…

I believe my colleagues across the aisle fundamentally misunderstand or intentionally misrepresent the interests of energy consumers in the United States and the interests of energy producers. NEPA is critically important to protect all…

I try to offload it, right? And, in fact, we are seeing that the sophisticated players are moving risks onto unsophisticated players.

We cannot say that we do not want the United States to have a leadership role by actually passing regulations and then complain about the fact that other people lead.

In 2020, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), under President Trump, issued a report on managing climate risk in the financial sector that said, among other things, that climate change poses a major risk to the stability of the…

Last year, there were $165 billion in insured losses from weather-related disasters in the United States.

I often say that the loneliest position in Congress is to advocate for competitive markets because nobody comes to Congress and says, you know what? What my market needs is more transparency, lower barriers to entry for my competitors.

It should not be exceptional or praiseworthy to defend our democracy, but I understand the courage that takes in today's Republican Party.

Democracy only survives if we defend it.

Last week, on October 17th, Senator Warren, Senator Marshall, and I led 102 lawmakers in a bipartisan, bicameral letter to Treasury raising concerns about some of these reports that we have mentioned about the use of crypto in financing…

With the failure of that last vote, we are now less than 2 days away from shutting down the United States Government, not because we don't have a path forward, but because the party of Lincoln has been captured by the spirit of Yeats: The…

There was a time in Washington less than a year ago when if the Speaker of the House of Representatives gave you their word, it meant something. That is no longer true. Earlier this year, Speaker McCarthy stood in the Oval Office with the…
