While climate change is an existential threat, #ClimateAction is a win-win-win. By breaking down barriers to clean energy investment, incentivizing clean innovation, and denying tax-payer backed subsidies to polluters, we can lower emissions, save lives, and grow our economy. https://t.co/QTmtD1O9pO

That’s why last week, I was proud to stand with my @ClimateCrisis Select Committee colleagues (6 feet apart) as we unveiled a plan that responds to the American people’s call for #ClimateActionNow with bold, transformative solutions to turn this ship around. https://t.co/ohPFckNULH

The American people are ready to act. This study shows that 77% are willing to take drastic steps the solve the climate crisis like we’re doing to stop the spread of #COVID19. As a nation, we MUST take aggressive action. https://t.co/2GM4zZUfMo

Capping off a week where new cases of #COVID19 hit record highs, Dr. Fauci testified that we could soon see 100,000 cases per day, & the Trump admin continued its suit to rip healthcare from 23 M Americans, health care is a matter of life or death. Here’s an update⬇️ https://t.co/ov3MHJa5Ib

From 130,000 American lives to billions in economic loss, every day we ignore science comes at a quantifiable cost. We can’t go back, but as a nation we can & MUST learn from our mistakes. Our decisions today will either save us from further devastation or cost us even more.

Improving our infrastructure should be a priority no matter if you’re a D or R. Investing in roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, spurring job creation, and incentivizing investments in renewable energy will allow us to rebuild our economy, create jobs, and fight climate change.

In 1987, the Reagan administration crafted the Montreal Protocol to close the ozone hole. It used market tools to solve environmental problems—and it worked. But then we went crazy. Scientific truths were politicized. Climate denialism was weaponized—and it got hotter. https://t.co/1uhQJJCnzw

Yet if the Trump Administration succeeds in striking down the ACA, 23 million Americans would lose coverage. 736,000 Illinoisans would lose coverage & 5.4 million with preexisting conditions could face higher premiums, benefit exclusions, or be denied coverage altogether. https://t.co/qO76ZSzYpw

@HouseScience @EPAAWheeler Not only would the Administration’s proposal fail to adequately reduce emissions from our power sector, it would also result in increased harmful air pollution annually according to the @EPA’s own report. American’s deserve better, demand #ClimateActionNow.

This bill is a necessary step in protecting our environment and fighting back against the #ClimateCrisis.

I strongly support this bill because not only is offshore drilling incredibly dangerous and potentially toxic to our oceans but it will help us transition towards the #CleanEnergyEconomy and away from our dependence on oil & gas, as well.

Again and again, this status quo fails the American public but President Trump and Senator McConnell are no where to be found when it comes time for action.

Not only does the #GOPTaxLaw hurt families in our communities by instating a marriage penalty and capping #SALT deduction at $10,000 but it also adds a trillion dollars to the #NationalDebt. There’s no question this law has to go, so we can lessen the burden on #IL taxpayers.

The huge amount of student loan debt the American public faces not only hurts individuals but it also hurts our economy as a whole because it restricts people’s purchasing. I strongly believe everyone should be about to pay their debt off quickly.
