  1. Here are the facts: 1. People of color tend to live closer to polluters and hazardous waste sites. 2. Those communities often don’t have the infrastructure for extreme weather. 3. The climate crisis is here. But its impact is not equal. Climate justice is racial justice.

    This is what we feared. When Republicans stole a Supreme Court seat from the American people, they did it for exactly this purpose: To erase a woman’s right to choose. And early this morning, at 12:01AM, Texas did just that. This cannot stand.

    Republicans are scared. Absolutely terrified. They know that most people don’t support them or their backward policies. So they’re trying like hell to suppress the vote. And blocking our efforts in Congress to stop them. There’s no accommodating them. They must be defeated.

    With just one round of child tax credit payments, the child poverty rate was slashed by 25%. You read that right: 25%. And it reminds us of a simple fact: we have the power to end childhood poverty. All we need is the will to act.

    Our fallen servicemembers have returned home. Their bravery helped evacuate over 100,000 people and saved countless lives. They were the best of us. And we will not forget them. May God give comfort to their families.

    California has always been a shining beacon of hope for refugees and immigrants in need of safe harbor. And today that obligation is perhaps more sacred than ever before. That's why we sent a letter to to let it be known: Afghan refugees are welcome here.

    Devastating to learn of the loss of U.S. servicemembers and Afghans at Kabul Airport. While it is too early to draw any conclusions, ISIS-K had a clear motivation to disrupt our efforts. My prayers are with our brave servicemembers as they continue these vital evacuations.

    My office is helping constituents get loved ones out of Afghanistan, along with interpreters, journalists, women leaders, activists, and others at great risk. And we’ll continue to do this vital work. No effort must be spared to evacuate all Americans and our Afghan allies:

    Just an unfriendly reminder: Every single House Republican voted against protecting the right to vote. Every. Single. Republican. Don’t let them forget it.

    The right to vote is under attack. Our democracy is in unprecedented peril. History will remember us by how we meet this moment. Are we willing to stand up for democracy? I am. Let’s pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Before it's too late.

    The FDA has officially granted full approval to the Pfizer vaccine, confirming what experts already knew: These vaccines are SAFE. And these vaccines WORK. If you haven’t already, please go get your shot TODAY. It’s FREE. It’s EASY. And you very well may SAVE A LIFE. YOURS.

    Erasing student loan debt for people with disabilities is a win in the fight for a more just society. It ensures that the doors of higher education stay open to all—no matter their ability to pay. This is just the beginning of our work to erase the burden of student loan debt.

    As we evacuate Americans and Afghan allies, we must help journalists who risked their lives in pursuit of the truth. Today, and I delivered a letter to calling on the administration to offer safe passage to the press. We must ensure no one is left behind.

    I believe every American has the right to vote. Period.   Republicans vehemently disagree.    They’d prefer to pick their voters, rather than letting the voters pick them.   They’re waging war on democracy. That must end.   It’s time to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Now.

    FireGuard helps firefighters react to wildfires before they spiral out of control. And when lives and livelihoods are on the line, every second counts. If we don’t act, this program will expire — we can’t let that happen. Read our letter to . ⤵️

    The scenes unfolding in Afghanistan are heartbreaking. As we evacuate U.S. personnel, we have an obligation to our Afghan partners, allies and women in serious danger. My statement:

    No child should ever go hungry. Full stop. The Child Tax Credits – now hitting the bank accounts of millions – will help end childhood hunger. We must make these middle class tax cuts permanent. Failing to do so amounts to nothing more than failing the most vulnerable kids.

    The Senate just passed a bipartisan infrastructure bill. That’s a big deal. But the next step must be an investment in our people, too. We need to address climate, health care, housing, education and childcare. Investing in our people, our country and our planet. Let’s do it.

    Too many impacts from climate change are now “irreversible,” says a new UN report. But that doesn’t mean we give up. Far from it. It means we act. Right now to ensure action on climate is part of any infrastructure investment. Right now to include it in any budget. Right now.
