Teaming up with @SenCortezMasto, @SusanWBrooks & others for a big bipartisan push to strengthen U.S. gov’t broadband resources for businesses & communities.

I'm dubious about some of this agreement, but that's compromise. In the end, this legislation funds important priorities for our national security & economy, resolves uncertainty for vital agencies & workers and ends the threat of another pointless government shutdown.
The Union of Concerned Science @UCSUSA documented 80 separate cases where the Trump Administration has worked to block or undermine public science. We need strong scientific integrity standards at our federal agencies to stop such abuses moving forward: https://t.co/w4IqNUQBgx
Today marks one year since the FCC repealed #NetNeutrality. During that time, millions of Americans have voiced their strong support for restoring #NetNeutrality - and it's time for Congress to listen. I will continue to fight for the free and open Internet! https://t.co/rXf3p90Tnw

Let’s be clear: fuel assurance doesn't guarantee generation after a disaster. During the Polar Vortex, coal piles froze. Coal piles flooded in Hurricane Harvey. This response fails to address the real vulnerabilities in our grid, most notably weaknesses i
These requirements targeting poor families and folks approaching retirement age also ignore the practical realities of working life for millions of Americans, e.g. @CenteronBudget: "Most Working-Age SNAP Participants Work, But Often in Unstable Jobs"
ALL of America's middle class, working families & our must vulnerable deserve to be heard and their needs & values represented. That means #EveryoneCounts.

Amidst all of this, in mid-April House Oversight & Government Reform chairman @TGowdySC wrote to Scott Pruitt (again) because: “the EPA has failed to produce all the documents requested.” https://t.co/hvfycTxQV7
Administrator Pruitt’s aides even considered leasing a private jet at a cost to taxpayers of some $100,000/month: https://t.co/gIxo7TO04P.
“May their efforts these days guarantee that there are not winners and losers under new tax laws, but benefits balanced and shared by all Americans.” ✊ #conroy
President Trump was asked about Mr. Pruitt's housing scandal the next day (4/3). The President responded, "I hope he's going to be great." https://t.co/EMWfsfxOvf

.@EnergyCommerce requested EPA Inspector General investigate this activity last year. An investigation was launched in January. In March, despite knowing he was under scrutiny for these exact hiring practices, @EPAScottPruitt quietly delivered big raises
86% of U.S. households depend on public water systems, many of which need major repairs or replacement. My colleagues and I fought for & won $50 million in additional funding for states to repair drinking water systems and $50 million to support state
Thanks to Democrats, President Trump got none of his desired cuts to @EPA. Staff members at this agency work tirelessly every day to ensure pollution and contaminants can be kept out of the water we drink, the air we breathe and the soil that helps grow t
@EPA This budget deal loosens the gag on @CDCgov #gunviolence research, opening a door that has been closed for more than two decades. The bill also strengthens the background check system and helps cash-strapped school systems looking to invest in greate
America’s competitors around the world are spending heavily on clean energy, and we are barely keeping up. Disregarding the President’s requested cuts, we were able to add some $23 million to the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewa
That's in addition to securing $47 million more for the Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), a major source of cutting-edge U.S. energy research.
Last night I had the high and difficult honor of introducing a bereavement resolution for my departed friend Louise Slaughter. Congress and the American people have lost one of our greatest champions, and we will miss her greatly. https://t.co/11fJdnO74Q

"This will happen again," he said. "It's not going to end with this shooting. Real change won't happen unless we do something, so we're going to do something." -Jackson Hengsterman, junior at Shenendehowa High School. https://t.co/yNGrnyt31E
Whether we're confronting the #OpioidCrisis or fixing our crumbling #infrastructure systems, we ignore science at our own peril. And without a science advisor, President Trump is ill-equipped to face almost any crisis.
Millions of Americans are facing painful cuts to pensions they earned from a lifetime of work. Their retirement security was lost by no fault of their own. Many now face a future of financial dependence on family or the government. These folks deserve bet
