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.

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.

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.
On cusp of vote, @SenTinaSmith 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"
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.
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.
.@SenTinaSmith and @PattyMurray 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
Tomorrow I'm announcing my push with @PattyMurray 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.

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. https://t.co/js6zCTQvg9
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.
