The scenes of flooding from #Ida in my district & across NYC are devastating and my office is in contact w/ those on the ground. There has never been a greater need to build climate resilient infrastructure. That's why I support a bold budget bill that puts climate action first.

The climate crisis is here. It's not "coming" or "going to only harm us in a few decades" it already has and will continue to do so. The basic denial of this fact is costing lives. We need to wake up and act.

60 million were under an extreme flood threat from #Ida. Dozens died. That's just the surface. That's why I'm ready to spend as long as it takes w/

to pass a HUGE investment for climate resilience. No matter what games the GOP wants to play.

We’re live to consider legislative proposals related to the reconciliation budget. The Build Back Better Act budget puts our country on a more sustainable economic and environmental path. Watch live
