For Earth Day 2026🌎, @SEEC hosted a “Federal Fire, Local Heat” emergency strategy session to convene members of Congress, climate leaders, organizers, & change-makers at the front lines of the climate fight. This is a key moment to align priorities in the midst of the Trump Administration's attacks on the health and well-being of our families, corrupt attempts to deliver for polluters over people, & blatant efforts to override American democracy.

These scientists give me hope -- they marched 250 miles to the nation's capitol to defend research, scientific principles, and truth.
The truth is: Trump's cuts to scientific research are going to cost in dollars, in lives, and in our future. I will continue to fight alongside my SEEC colleagues to stop the cuts, invest in research, and protect science.
The EPA's Office of Environmental Justice was founded in 1992 and has operated under both Democratic and Republican leadership because pollution does not recognize politics. Locally, I have worked with the Junction Coalition, Lake Erie Water Keepers, and community based groups to find solutions.
Today, I met with @lvchamber to discuss key priorities for Southern Nevada and the future of our economy.
We talked about strengthening workforce development, supporting economic growth, protecting our public lands, and advancing policies that create opportunities for working families while helping businesses succeed. I appreciate the conversation and look forward to continuing our work together to deliver results for Nevada
The Trump Administration wants to open California and Florida’s coastlines to offshore drilling for the first time in over 50 years. I offered an amendment to stop it.
This is a direct threat to our national security.
Every single U.S. Military Branch uses those waters, including off Camp Pendleton, for training and testing that is required before our troops can deploy. You cannot move an oil platform out of the way for a military exercise.
The Trump Administration says this will lower gas prices, but it won’t. What it will do is jeopardize our national security, our waters, and our economies. This was never about lowering gas prices. It’s about selling our coastline to Big Oil.
Wildfires impact every community, which is why all levels of government need to work together to mitigate wildfire risks.
Grateful that the House passed my bipartisan Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act, which does precisely that. We’ll keep pushing to get it across the finish line!
Today, @SEEC welcomed scientists who are fighting to protect U.S. climate & weather research from devastating federal funding cuts. These scientists marched 12-days, 250-miles to highlight how funding cuts, disinformation, mass firings, & grant terminations have impacted the health and well-being of our families and U.S. scientific leadership on the international stage.
This Administration failed in the Courts to try to block progress towards a clean energy future, so now they are attempting to bribe companies to stop building offshore wind projects. That’s why I joined my colleagues to demand an investigation into these $2 billion in payments to block offshore wind development, and I will continue to work in Congress to protect our environment for future generations and support the clean energy transition.

Trump and his vanity projects are completely out of control.
This week, we learned he’s raiding NPS entrance fee revenue to help pay for his gilded, tacky vanity projects around DC.
Meanwhile, parks like Acadia are facing real maintenance backlogs, which is exactly what that money is supposed to help fix.
We mark up the Interior & Environment funding bill next week, and you can be damn sure @AppropsDems will be fighting back hard against this gross abuse of taxpayer dollars.
Returned to Paʻakea Road with Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation and the Navy to follow up on flooding near the dip in the road and continue working toward solutions for the community.
We walked through the problem areas, discussed how to better manage the water draining into the roadway, and made sure residents’ concerns were heard directly by the partners involved.
Mahalo to the community members who continue to raise concerns, share local knowledge, and help keep the focus on long-term fixes.
As we strive to achieve a successful renewable energy transition, we must ensure that the surrounding critical infrastructure is safe and strong. That’s why I introduced my bipartisan Better Energy Storage and Safety Act to bolster research and development around safe energy storage. I’ll continue to work across the aisle to provide secure and reliable energy for our communities in the 19th Congressional District and beyond.

Great news! My BIKE Act passed the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Proud to work with the @BikeLeague to help pass this bill and allow states to promote safety and help kids be more active.
This administration is using YOUR taxpayer dollars to cancel renewable energy projects and protect insurrectionists at the same time.
Why do my Republican colleagues in the Subcommittee on Natural Resources Oversight and Investigations stay silent? What kind of upside-down reality are they living in?
Republicans' fossilized thinking keeps us energy dependent & vulnerable. As Trump continues his reckless war with Iran and gas prices soar, we should learn from Ukraine's successfully adopting renewable energy as part of its defense against Russia's attacks.
Freedom from fossil fuel dependence will lower costs & keep us safer.

Ensuring our military installations are prepared to withstand rising tides and floods is crucial to our military readiness and national security. Last week, I introduced an amendment to prioritize the bipartisan support for stormwater management at the Naval Academy to prevent flooding and keep providing our midshipmen with the highest-quality, uninterrupted education needed to serve our nation. This amendment passed the House as part of a larger, bipartisan package to support our servicemembers and fund critical veterans’ programs.
My heart is with the communities impacted by the devastating wildfires burning across Northern Minnesota.
I'm incredibly grateful to our National Guard, emergency responders, and local officials working tirelessly to contain the fires and keep Minnesotans safe.
Grateful to celebrate Colorado Public Lands Day this weekend traversing our great state — traveling hundreds of miles for events in Walden, Grand Lake, Nederland and so many places in between.
From Jackson County to Larimer County, it truly is a privilege to serve the people of Colorado!

🚨 @RepHuffman to Trump's Interior Secretary: "This is the most nakedly corrupt administration in American history."
"You have treated our public lands & waters like assets on a corporate balance sheet so that billionaires, foreign companies, & political donors can profit."
