We have an opportunity to address the climate crisis right now. Senator Manchin’s refusal to act is infuriating. It makes me question why he’s Chair of ENR.

My statement on Manchin's climate change reversal.

Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who took more campaign cash from the oil and gas industry than any other senator, blew up the Democratic Party’s plan to fight climate change. Here’s a look at how the plan unraveled as the Earth continues to warm. nyti.ms/3IFgTLe

Tomorrow I'm announcing my push with Senator Patty Murray to increase Title X funding – the only federal program for family planning + preventive health services. Women – not the government – should be able to decide for themselves when to have a child. politi.co/3uWOP0v

.Tina Smith and Senator Patty Murray calling on Republicans to put their money where their mouths are — if they truly support family planning services like they claim, they’ll have no problem supporting the Expanding Access to Family Planning Act

NEW: House advances legislation ensuring access to contraception by a vote of 228-195. Only 8 Republicans voted YES. All 195 NO votes were Republicans.

Ted Cruz is Jonah from Veep but unironically

🚨MANCHIN says he’s reached agreement with Schumer on a reconciliation deal that deals with climate, energy, tax and health care.

Holy shit. Stunned, but in a good way. $370B for climate and energy and 40% emissions reduction by 2030. BFD. cnn.com/2022/07/27/pol…

Republicans are spreading a lot of misinformation so let’s be clear: the Inflation Reduction Act won’t raise taxes on families making less than $400K. Now, if you’re a giant corporation making over $1B in profit, then you’re (finally) gonna have to pitch in.

On cusp of vote, Tina Smith tells me: “I have no doubt when I look back at my time in the Senate I will see passage of this bill as one of the most important things I was ever involved in because it will break the dam of inaction on climate that has held us back for so long"

Like I said before — this is a BIG deal. Senate Democrats got climate, health care, deficit reduction and tax fairness done – without the help of a single Republican.

Read this great story about Pete Wyckoff, my incredible Policy Advisor for Energy & Climate, and the other hill staffers who delivered a historic climate deal. Glad to have Pete as part of the ‘Never Give Up' Caucus. America thanks you all. Me too. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

This law was written with the American people in mind. It’s to lower energy costs for working families. It’s for our children and grandchildren to live in the Minnesota we love without fear of the climate crisis. startribune.com/tina-smith-why…
