Two bills being considered today are the product of bipartisan cooperation. The other is not.
These bipartisan bills will help prevent wildfires and meet nuclear fuel demands. nitter.net/i/broadcasts/1NGaromyg…

Trump’s cronies were busy using taxpayer dollars to renovate a bathroom, re-paint columns, and ruin a reflecting pool. But they didn’t have time to fix a ceiling before it collapsed.
Another warning we can’t ignore. A section of the Grand Foyer ceiling collapsed after this week’s storms. Thankfully no one was hurt. Decades of deferred maintenance made this inevitable.
Chairman President Trump has been right: America’s cultural center needs to close, renovate, and be restored—now.

The law and economy have spoken. DOE should stop inventing ‘emergencies’ and let coal fail.

Illegally making electric consumers pay off Trump’s corrupt fossil fuel donors is now standard practice for Trump scoundrels.

Trump and Zeldin are defying the laws of this country, the laws of physics, and the law of common sense. Their Polluters First Agenda passes the very real costs of a more extreme climate onto working families. We must protect human health and our environment—not corporate polluter profits.

Under the “leadership” of Zeldin and Trump the EPA is selling out YOUR health to line polluter pockets.
They’re ignoring science, the effects of climate chaos we’re already feeling, and the people they serve. Just sickening.

Welcome to “the largest public corruption announcement in U.S. history,” bailing out Trump’s big fossil fuel donors by letting them pollute your air and atmosphere for free. Fossil fuel wins; you pay.

How about some good news?
Through bipartisan consensus, this CR contains no-brainer extensions for infrastructure funding and fee collections from chemical manufacturers. Wins that improve Americans' lives.

Renaming the Kennedy Center after a deeply unpopular president seems to have been a financial disaster.
@SenWhitehouse is renewing demands for the Center's financial documents, a basic expectation of trustees with fiduciary duties.

To cover up its rushed and shoddy work restoring the Reflecting Pool, Interior led a campaign of deceit about damage to the memorial.
@SenWhitehouse and @SenatorHeinrich are demanding Interior's watchdog investigate the agency's lies and deception.

When Big Oil knowingly promotes and sells harmful products, states and localities have the legal right to protect their citizens.
This week, @SenWhitehouse and @RepJayapal led 90 Democrats affirming states’ ability to hold Big Oil accountable.
