Now – because of this investment – electric vehicles will be an increasingly practical option for Americans with more convenient, reliable, and affordable charging. And this shift to EVs will also create good-paying union jobs. (2/2)
To fight the climate crisis, we must decarbonize the transportation sector. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invests $7.5B in EV charging stations to #ElectrifyingAmerica with greener transportation. (1/2)

My bill will provide much needed certainty to impacted adoptees and ensure that these individuals have full access to their rights as American citizens. It's crucial that we work to advance this bipartisan piece of legislation. (3/3)
These individuals grew up here and started careers and families, but through no fault of their own, they never received citizenship and are living in uncertainty about their future. This piece of legislation will finally grant citizenship to these international adoptees. (2/3)
Due to a loophole in the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, many international adoptees who were brought to the U.S. as children were never granted citizenship. In response to this issue, I introduced the Adoptee Citizenship Act of 2021. (1/2)
Today, @POTUS signed an Executive Order making sexual harrasment a crime under the UCMJ — which expedites reforms Congress passed in the #FY22NDAA. We strengthen our national security when we protect our service members. QT @POTUS: This afternoon, I’m signing an Executive Order to make sexual harassment an offense in the Uniform Code of Military… https://t.co/9XiciyUb6h)
This law dramatically changes how the military handles sex crimes, taking the prosecution of all sex crimes in the military away from the control of the military commander and putting this responsibility in the hands of qualified, independent, uniformed attorneys. (2/5)
Thanks the Guillen family's advocacy, and other longstanding advocates for survivors of the sexual assault crisis in the military, this law will create a strong pathway for survivors of sexual assault to achieve justice and for perpetrators to be held accountable. (3/5)
Thank you to all the advocates who pushed this bill forward. With the passage of this bill, we honor Vanessa and her legacy. Watch last night's event, including my remarks thanking the Guillen family for their tireless work: https://t.co/tn4QeNYgEn (5/5)
I was honored to join last night's event and speak to the success of the bill and the road ahead. The passage of this bill into law is a major accomplishment, but we still have more work to do to ensure that survivors of sexual assault are heard and protected. (4/5)
Yesterday, the family of Vanessa Guillen and other advocates for survivors of sexual assault celebrated Vanessa's legacy and the successful signing of the I Am Vanessa Guillen Act, which was included in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022. (1/5)
These bold reforms simply would not have been possible without the courage of survivors who came forward to share their stories — and the relentless advocacy of @RepSpeier. It’s now up to the Senate and @POTUS Biden to give these reforms the force of law. #FY22NDAA QT @HASCDemocrats: Accountability. Transparency. Independence. Justice. The #FY22NDAA will deliver results for survivors of sexual a… https://t.co/Kmc2i3cjAi)
This bill also creates the crime of sexual harassment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice — and a special investigatory unit separate from the chain of command to investigate. (5/6)
This is a huge change that a lot of people didn’t really agree with, but ultimately went along with to get into this bill. To miss that opportunity, I think, would be a betrayal of our responsibility to the men and women who serve in the military. (6/6)
Here’s what I told @RulesDemocrats this afternoon: https://t.co/vuWUrXsyVM
The @EPA will make significant investments in our nation's infrastructure - most notably the single largest investment in water the federal government has ever made. This funding will protect regional waters, while ensuring communities have access to safe drinking water. (2/4)
I commend the @EPA for its readiness to help implement the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and strengthen the health, safety, equity, and climate resilience of communities across America. (4/4)
