In the United States, emission reductions seen in 2017 were reversed.

The European Union nations are not hitting their targets; they are not on a trajectory to hit their targets.

And with one of the concerns that we have with meaningful consultation, do you feel, yes or no--and I will ask each of the panelists--that meaningful consultation is currently taking place around Chaco from the Trump administration?

The argument that capturing methane kills jobs just doesn't add up to me.

A place where ancestors have been laid to rest should not be desecrated, but one that is also being negatively impacted with environmental justice concerns.

How can Congress specifically support your efforts to stop methane emissions here in New Mexico and across the country?

All that we are saying is that we want to codify the long-standing BLM practice to not lease within 10 miles and to protect the remaining Chaco ruins and landscape nearest the existing park.

You have the tools in your hand. How you fight back against this current administration...

I cannot say how grateful I am, Chairman Lowenthal, for you and Chairman Grijalva and our Chairwoman, Debra Haaland, for coming to New Mexico.

This lack of diversity informs the algorithms that determine whether people get a loan or a job.

Democrats made a commitment to the American people that we would lower their healthcare costs, and with their support we are now in the majority.

I know that you are also a supporter of our military, and concerned with the national security.

I appreciate the question, Congressman Roy. Just as when Democrats worked to pass the Affordable Care Act, sadly, when it was passed on a--pretty much a partisan vote in the House, that was a piece of legislation that Democrats worked to…

Our agenda will be ambitious. And, most importantly, it will ensure that all those living in the U.S. will be able to reach their full potential.

It is imperative that we not compromise public safety in the name of being penny wise and pound foolish.

When it comes to diversity in tech, let me be clear, more is needed.

It is one reason why I am reintroducing the Accountable Capitalism Act with the inclusion of diversity language.

In 2000, the FTC recommended that Congress enact a consumer internet privacy legislation.
