Today marks a victory for our climate. The EPA's new protections against power plant pollution are a crucial step towards cleaner air and a healthier future.

We need to keep pushing for bold action to combat climate change and protect our environment for generations to come.

🚨American Climate Corps is finally here!

This massive achievement serves as a reminder of the power of organizing – of what we can accomplish when young people, climate advocates, labor organizers, & working people demand we tackle climate change.

Our kids and grandkids are counting on us.

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and colleague Donald Payne - a fierce & beloved advocate for NJ's 10th Congressional District. His presence in Congress and the world will be truly missed.

My heart goes out to his loved ones and staff during this difficult time.

Young Americans know that the climate crisis is the existential threat of our time.

They deserve leaders who believe them.

We’re not going to let them down.

Happening Now: President Biden delivers remarks to commemorate Earth Day. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Today, I, along with 36 of my Democratic colleagues, voted no on sending additional offensive weapons to Netanyahu and the Israeli military.

We can create a better future without death, terrorism, and occupation — together.

Renowned foreign policy expert Timothy Snyder agrees that we need a separate vote on Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, and that President Biden should potentially withhold offensive weapons as leverage over Netanyahu to get a permanent ceasefire and a release of all hostages.

For 738 days, Ukraine has been fighting back against Putin — a battle global democracy cannot lose.

But U.S. aid to Ukraine has been wrongly tied to unconditional support for Netanyahu's assault on Gaza.

It’s time for Congress to vote on stand-alone aid for Ukraine.

Housing is a human right.

Bernie Sanders & I know how to combat the housing crisis, create union jobs AND tackle climate change: the Green New Deal for Public Housing.

A better world - where people can afford safe & reliable housing - is within our reach.

Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel following Israel’s strike in Damascus represents an escalation in this conflict that I strongly condemn.

The U.S. must deescalate tension in the region, including a ceasefire that surges aid to Gaza, ends the famine, and frees the hostages.

Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez released the following statement as House Republicans schedule a series of floor votes on resolutions in response to the Iranian military attack on Israel following Israel’s attack on an Iranian Consulate ⬇️

The Biden administration just announced a plan for 30 MILLION student loan borrowers to receive debt relief.

This would allow so many people with student debt to buy houses, start a family, go back to school, and so much more.

The core values of global democracy — what makes us different from authoritarian regimes — are the upholding of civil and human rights, rule of law, & equal protection of all people.

That's why the US cannot in good conscience allow our resources to enable a mass famine in Gaza.
