Five years ago today, we launched the Green New Deal resolution. Today, I'm launching a podcast. Every Friday until Earth Day we'll be posting an episode with one of your favorite climate champions talking about Green New Deal victories and fights to come. Up first: @RepBowman .

Barriers to coverage force many DACA recipients and their families to go without essential care. Not any more. I am glad the Biden administration is answering our calls and ensuring DACA recipients are eligible for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

My grandfather worked in the Lawrence Mills in 1912. Decades later, my father lost a finger at the factory where he worked. In 2024, we have a chance to finally extend long overdue protections to warehouse workers.

We need safe, clean drinking water for all families in Massachusetts and across the country. I'm glad that the @EPA "Get the Lead Out" initiative is working hard to remove millions of these outdated, dangerous pipes. I'll continue fighting for a fair allocation of funding to MA.

There are more than 9 million lead service lines across the nation. Today’s $3 billion investment to identify and replace these lines brings the U.S. closer to replacing 100% of lead service lines.

In 2023, @amazon raked in $30 billion in profits, breaking the backs of its workers in the name of profit and greed. Warehouse workers deserve safety, dignity and respect. I was proud to introduce the Warehouse Workers Protection Act today with my friend @TeamsterSOB .

. @SenBillCassidy and I just filed COPPA 2.0 as an amendment to the FAA bill because we have waited far too long to protect children and teens’ privacy. We need to stop Big Tech’s tracking and targeting of young people online. I’m calling on my colleagues to pass COPPA 2.0.

I'm live in front of the Capitol with @TeamsterSOB to introduce the Warehouse Workers Protection Act. It's long past time we demand dignity, safety, and respect for warehouse workers.

With @ENERGY 's new rule establishing the strongest efficiency standards yet for water heaters, we're slashing families' bills—and pollution in the atmosphere. I applaud the Biden administration for taking this step towards a truly clean future.

Starting in 2029, many electric water heaters on store shelves will have to use heat pump technology to comply with new energy efficiency standards. Here's what you need to know.

Big Oil spent decades hiding their pollution while pocketing obscene profits. We’re paying twice—at the pump and in climate chaos. These documents deliver a message loud and clear: polluters should pay us, not delay us.

Climate compounds our mental health crisis, but community and public health can prevent the invisible scars. This Mental Health Awareness Month, it's time to pass my Community Mental Wellness & Resilience Act.

We can’t reward Saudi Arabia's human rights abuses and nuclear weapons aims with an agreement lacking “gold standard” nonproliferation safeguards. That's why I’m asking @POTUS about these negotiations and urging him to keep the bomb out of Saudi hands.

Automakers’ deceptive and invasive data practices are unacceptable. I’m glad that regulators are taking this issue seriously, and I urge them to take every step necessary to protect consumer privacy against corporate greed.
