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.

The reason why they don’t support HR-1 is not just the voting rights piece, that’s a big piece and it’s very important, and we want to past it retroactively so we can supersede what’s happening at the state level. But HR-1 also gets big…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.'

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

A separate funding stream for ferry boats and other maritime services would be appropriate.

The set-aside funding that I have requested will allow for new expansion and innovative transportation initiatives.

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

Fossil fuel pollution leads to roughly 350,000 premature deaths every year in the US.

Let's turn our unnecessary highways into parks, and protect communities from displacement and gentrification.

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

We need to rethink and rebuild from the ground up.
