Joe Manchin and others are no longer beholden to their constituents. They’re beholden to the Koch brothers, they’re beholden to the Chamber of Commerce and they’re beholden to the wealthy, elite overall who have control of our democracy.

This is a historical moment for all of us. We are a part of a system that is rooted in white supremacy, and it has evolved into a system where corporate-backed actors and the wealthy elite are literally controlling Congress.

One of the things I've seen is the current infrastructure that's in place, much of it is already inequitable.

I'm wondering if you could tell us more about your overall vision for energy justice, and what that means to you.

invest in our public infrastructure, invest in our schools, invest into social infrastructure to provide the academic, mental health, and social supports that people need.

we still haven’t passed the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act in the Senate, and there are still efforts to water that policy down which is the floor, not the ceiling, by the way.

I am looking forward to discussing with our witnesses the real-world applications of these incredible systems.

We can all agree on the need for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion across our research enterprise.

We need to pursue an agenda of scientific computing for the people.

This research is not just a nice-to-have; it is a must-have for the safety, security, and future of humanity.

This research is not just a 'nice-to-have'; it is a must-have for the safety, security, and future of humanity.

We need people, talented and trained professionals, to perform this research and help lead us into a green, just future.

To meet our climate goals, as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said, will take 'rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society.'

Science and technology is an incredibly powerful way to do that.

I would propose that our golden goose is in our historically marginalized communities, our red lined communities, where we have historically underinvested in our schools and in our neighborhoods.

Unfortunately, my generation is leaving them a world that doesn't look like a better place.

Our kids are ready, willing, and able for more science and technology in the classroom, they're ready, willing, and able for more innovation.

I recently proposed a green stimulus investment of $1.16 trillion over 10 years to make each of our public schools a healthy, zero carbon center of the community.

I urge you to prioritize regionally and nationally significant mega-projects that build resiliency, such as a key railway relocation project in my district.

First, I want to stress the importance of investing in public transportation that prioritizes decongesting our roads, increases sustainability, and supports regional housing planning.

This week I reintroduced the Build More Housing Near Transit Act, H.R. 2483, that would help incentivize a more thoughtful approach to building housing during the construction of large transit projects.

We need to rethink and rebuild from the ground up.

Every American should be able to efficiently navigate their city, suburb, or town by train or electric bus.

What if transit-oriented development meant focusing on the well-being of our communities?

I ask that the Territorial Highway Program be returned to a set-aside portion of Federal-Aid Highway Program funding.
