The rate of gun deaths in Mississippi is over 30 percent higher than it is in D.C.

They are part of an effort to deny Americans who live in Washington the right to participate in representative government.

D.C.'s lack of statehood has real financial consequences as well.

This is not about fiscal responsibility. It is a well-funded, dark-money-funded culture war attack not only on the American economy but on the American people.

St. Louis and I are here today for a timely and important hearing to defend the planet itself.

Communities like St. Louis experience the brunt of gun violence, this epidemic, because of State-level policies in Missouri and elsewhere.

While Republicans are working to cut funding that will undermine the Federal Government's ability to meet its obligations to clean contaminated areas and assist suffering communities like ours, Democrats, we are working to make sure the…

Republicans' failure to act is deadly. We've seen it over and over again; it's deadly.

Yesterday I introduced the bipartisan, bicameral Justice for Jana Elementary Act to ensure that potentially radiation-exposed schools in my district are lifted up and not left behind.

Congress and the Federal Government must meet their hazardous waste cleanup obligations to our communities, yet Republicans and their Default on America Act would deprive the government of resources to tackle these hazards and put the…

Frankly, I find it alarming that workforce and skills gaps, which would be significantly worsened by the default on our debt plan, could have such a harmful impact on the high-risk programs that the Biden Administration is working…

Far beyond the monetary cost, I know the human toll that this high-risk area takes because I have lived it.

this ransom note that the GOP has issued this week on gutting these vital social programs, climate programs, are really going to undermine the fiscal responsibility of the Federal Government.

We are not talking about a distant problem. I am in this room. I lived by the creek for a number of years.

Toxic chemicals, like radium and uranium, continue to threaten the safety and well-being of my constituents and my loved ones in St. Louis.

Last year, St. Louis experienced two 1-in-1,000-year flooding events within three days.

St. Louis and I are here today to highlight the urgent need for new investments in renewable, reliable energy.

This bill is so extremist and unscientific that it could only have been written by the industry that will profit the most, Big Oil.

It is clearer than ever that our best path to energy security is to rapidly diminish our reliance on fossil fuels.

Republicans are wasting our time on the preposterous and offensive oil industry wish list.

If we actually want to decarbonize the country as we have promised to do, by rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, then we need to invest substantially more in deep decarbonization efforts.

We intend to do what the government was set up to do: spend public dollars supporting people and not corporations.

To achieve energy security, we know we not only must never develop new fossil fuel infrastructure again, but we also must invest in public renewable energy.

Energy security means regular, everyday people can keep their lights on at night.
