Let's make decisions based upon science and what is best for the fish moving forward.
The science is suggesting that this additional spill is not benefiting salmon, and yet that argument is out there.
The current court order forcing these dams to spill more water threatens the river power system.
BPA was created in 1937 to carry out Franklin Roosevelt's vision for harnessing the power of the Columbia River.
The legislation that we introduced that is known as H.R. 3144 would have preserved the current Biological Opinion until the current NEPA process could be finalized.
I think that whole argument that it be done swiftly just undermines efforts to try to take reasonable measures to help endangered salmon in the Northwest.
I find it very discouraging and sad that people are again, when they talk about removing the Snake dam, saying we can do this without congressional authorization, we can get it done by the end of this year. Truthfully, there are people…
These marvels of engineering provided the Pacific Northwest with the Nation's most affordable and most reliable energy.
Thank you to Washington's U.S. Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Dan Newhouse for their hard work on the legislation.
As Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers noted in her statement, there is no proof that more spill will be better for salmon.
We also vigorously support your Appropriations provision to stop the spill order.
Allowing speech that incites violence could have devastating consequences and this is one way where I believe it's very important that Twitter take action to help restore trust with the people and your platform.
I think Twitter is a valuable tool in modern communication and it's why, back in 2011, I was spearheading an effort to get our members signed up and using this tool.
So I think much of the concern surrounding this incident and some others has been how long it takes to remove the content when there's a clear violation.
There's a lot of serious questions that Americans have regarding tech platforms and the ones that they're using every day and the issues like data privacy, community standards, and censorship.
Hydropower can be expanded nationwide by modernizing the inefficient permitting process.
Hydropower is foundational to the Northwest economy, and I am proud to represent a district that is largely based upon carbon-free baseload.
I am interested in how existing dollars can be leveraged in the effort to help educate providers providing care for patients with substance abuse disorder.
I want to first applaud CMS for clarifying in the final part D rule that MTM programs will fall under quality improvement activities when calculating the medical loss ratio requirements.
Over Easter, a Catholic university's ad with a picture of the historic San Damiano Cross was rejected by Facebook.
Do you think Facebook has a unique responsibility to ensure that it has clear standards regarding the censorship of content on its platform?
My bill, introduced along with Congressman Seth Moulton, is a bipartisan, readily available solution to this problem.
