Driving down emissions is critical for our planet and public health — especially for vulnerable Americans like those with asthma. Fortunately, we're doing something about that! @EPA 's new rules to reduce vehicle emissions will help folks across our country breathe easier.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 When my pal, @SenatorCarper asked me to contribute an Earth Day song to his @EPWCmte playlist, I had to go with “Black Rock,” by our hometown heroes, @ofarevolution . It’s a song about friendship, nature and Montgomery County. 🔗

Republicans want you to think that you have to choose between clean air and growing our economy––but they're wrong. The @EPA rule that they are desperate to overturn would not only protect our planet, it will create jobs and strengthen the auto industry.

. @EPA 's clean cars rule is vital to tackling the climate crisis, saving people money, and protecting public health. But Republicans in Congress aren't interested. Let’s accelerate towards a clean energy future instead of passing this bill to stop clean cars and boost oil profits.
