Climate change is making it more expensive for Americans to insure their homes or small businesses. For many, it can be nearly impossible to get an affordable policy. We need to work urgently to bring these costs down and expand coverage.

Senate Republicans are planning to overrule a state policy and effectively eliminate the filibuster. They’re so determined to pollute our air, they’ll break the Senate to do it.

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…

Our friends across the aisle are so set on making it easier to pollute our air they’ll break the Senate. They should be eyes wide open about the consequences. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Secretary Zeldin, you have done more to dismantle environmental protections in 100 days than all of your predecessors combined. That may be a source of pride for you, but it will be a source of cancer for so many others. Cancer will be your legacy.

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

Republicans now bear responsibility for the resulting harms to families’ health, the increase in planet-warming carbon pollution, & the damage to American automakers facing increased competition from China—all so their donors can sell more gasoline. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Imagine if a football team could just vote to overrule the referees. That’s what Republicans did this week in the Senate.

.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.
