Every kid deserves safe, lead-free water. Thanks to this investment from our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Rhode Island's water infrastructure will significantly improve, and we'll be better equipped to root out lead poisoning once and for all.

There are more than 9 million lead service lines across the nation. Today’s $3 billion investment to identify and replace these lines brings the U.S. closer to replacing 100% of lead service lines.

Today marks 2 years since the Dobbs leak. Each day we see more of the chaos & cruelty Republican abortion bans are inflicting on women—and everyone should understand that Donald Trump is responsible for this. Democrats will keep fighting to restore abortion rights nationwide.

Big Oil spent decades hiding their pollution while pocketing obscene profits. We’re paying twice—at the pump and in climate chaos. These documents deliver a message loud and clear: polluters should pay us, not delay us.

"Big Oil had to evolve from denial to duplicity." @SenWhitehouse describes the evolving phases of the fossil fuel industry's climate deception: First they knew. Then they lied. And when they couldn't deny climate change any more, they lied about solutions.

Over two years ago, @OversightDems subpoenaed documents from four oil companies and two fossil fuel trade associations about their response to climate change. More than a million pages of those documents were not reviewed. Today's hearing w/ @RepRaskin continues that work.

An old adage says the best way to prove a stick is crooked is by laying a straight stick down beside it. In my 31st Scheme speech, we'll look at how ethics violations by most federal officials are handled and compare it to SCOTUS. You’ll find the SCOTUS stick isn’t very straight.
