Republicans are pushing a plan to overrule the Senate Parliamentarian & effectively kill the filibuster. Sheldon Whitehouse, Chuck Schumer, & Senator Alex Padilla press the Presiding Officer to make clear Republicans are going nuclear. Democrats won't forget this. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

WATCH: Sheldon Whitehouse leads EPW Dems to press Trump's EPA chief Lee Zeldin for answers. In just over three months, Zeldin has made families worse off, ignored science, attacked the rule of law, and eroded America’s trust in the EPA. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…






Last night, Senate Republicans went nuclear—overruling the parliamentarian to do the bidding of the fossil fuel industry. “I hope you sleep well at night with the consequences of your decisions in the years ahead.” –Senator Alex Padilla




.John Vaillant is right—it's not rocket science. If we don't deal with the climate crisis, we could face economic catastrophe. We're already seeing this bubble up in the home insurance industry.

It’s a dangerous feedback loop: climate change makes wildfires more destructive, and fire emissions worsen climate change. Sheldon Whitehouse & Adam Schiff's bill scales up carbon removal to mitigate disasters, protect families’ health, and address climate-driven economic harms.
