These state laws were overwhelmingly supported by a popular vote—they shouldn’t be overridden because of big-dollar lobbying.
This is a highly controversial and poisonous policy that ignores the will of the people.
We oppose the inclusion of a provision in the House-passed Farm Bill to preempt state-level animal welfare and agricultural protection laws.
I am calling on the administration to withdraw their proposed rule to roll back these standards in light of the energy emergency they single-handedly created.
With one hand, Donald Trump is rolling back the very standards that keep our vehicles leaner, cleaner, and cheaper, and with the other hand he is driving up gas prices.

Formerly incarcerated individuals deserve a fair shot at a steady future and a stable career.
I will be monitoring the implementation of this rule closely to ensure it does not adversely affect students and educators that rely on the E-Rate program.
We should be strengthening E-Rate, simplifying access, and closing the homework gap, not putting up new barriers.
This action is part of a troubling pattern from the FCC and Republicans that makes it harder for kids to get online and communities to close the digital divide.
The FCC’s new rule will make it harder for schools and libraries, especially in rural and under-resourced communities, to access the E-Rate program.
After two months of Trump’s illegal and reckless Iran war, and as we pass the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster, we must confront the dangers of building nuclear power plants in war zones.
