We need to extend expiring funding for our chemical safety law, the Toxic Substances Control Act.
We need to reign in a corrupt, captured, anti-science EPA.
We do NOT need to weaken chemical safety. Thatβs what this partisan proposal does.

Burgumβs a liar. Data centers are sending energy bills soaring.
More pollution, and Zeldin is damn proud.
Another empty promise from Trump to lower your energy bills.
Under current leadership, the Corps of Engineers has stymied clean energy, disfavored coastal projects, and paused $11 billion in funding for Democratic states.
A hard, fast, and convincing course correction is required to get the Corps on track.
The EPA used to work to keep deadly neurotoxins out of our air, food, and water.
Now, they're erasing protections that would have saved 11,000 lives every year just to burn more coal.
Itβs not just more pollution, itβs higher costs.
EPAβs own estimates show increased costs at the pump of at least $580 BILLION and up to $1.4 TRILLION over the next three decades.
Thatβs money from your pockets to Trumpβs fossil fuel donors.
Roses are Red, Violets are Blue
Climate Change is Real, Trump's EPA wonβt protect you.
The Trump EPA has fully abandoned its duty to protect the American people from greenhouse gas pollution and climate change.
The only winners today are Trumpβs fossil fuel megadonors.
POLITICO: US Democrats urge EU to defy Trump on oil and gas rules.
Cutting methane is a no brainer. Trumpβs bullying of the EU will hurt American companies, waste gas, and increase air pollution.
@whitehouse.senate.gov and @repscottpeters.bsky.social led 24 Members of Congress in urging the EU to resist Trump's attacks and uphold its methane standards.
To meet the challenges of the 21st century, we must repair and replace outdated infrastructure while ALSO maintaining and updating our cybersecurity capabilities.
This is not an either or.
Who caused the problem? π
Ranking Member Whitehouse's statement on Trump Shuttering Kennedy Center for βComplete Rebuilding.β
Ranking Member Whitehouse's statement on Trump Shuttering Kennedy Center for βComplete Rebuilding.β
Trump did a hostile takeover of the Kennedy Center, installed loyalists to bless his power grab, and illegally named the building after himself.
Now, amid a wave of boycotts and declining sales, he is trying to shutter the Center.
Ranking Member @whitehouse.senate.gov's statement:
Experts agreeβthere is no permitting reform without project certainty.
The Senate could be working on bipartisan legislation to bring more clean, affordable energy to the grid.
The Trump Administration doesnβt want it.
Any deal to pass permitting reform needs certainty that laws will be faithfully executed.
What good is it if any project can be struck down by a lawless and vindictive executive branch?
More Trump fossil fuel corruption is brewing.
Big Oil is fueling the climate crisis, and theyβve known for nearly 60 years.
Theyβve been burying the truth and spreading disinformation to make a profit.
@whitehouse.senate.gov pushed the Senate to affirm that climate change is not a hoax.
Shocking no one, a Republican objected.
This is the same EPA that believes your life isn't as valuable as Big Oil's business.
The world is round. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The climate is changing, and human-caused fossil fuel emissions are the primary cause.
These are facts, but Republicans still wonβt say itβanything for Big Oil.
The Senate is ready to work on bipartisan permitting reform. Trump isnβt.
Remember when the EPA protected our health? Not anymore.
Zeldinβs legacy will be one of sickness, death, and more pollution.
Oil companies shouldn't know more about Donald Trump's plans in Venezuela than the American people.
I launched an investigation with @whitehouse.senate.gov, because every single American deserves answers.
This polluter-driven stoogery shows the full extent of creepy pollutersβ control over the Trump Administration.
The Trump Administration will stop at nothing to help Big Oil.
Thereβs no point in passing a bipartisan permitting bill if this corrupt Administration wonβt faithfully execute the laws.
Despite the Trump Administrationβs lies, wind and solar are some of the cheapest energy sources.
More on the investigation led by Senators @whitehouse.senate.gov, @wyden.senate.gov, @warren.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, Schatz, and @welch.senate.gov:
BREAKING: Senate Dems are investigating Trumpβs dealings with US fossil fuel companies surrounding the Venezuelan military actions.
We want to know:
- When they knew
- Their communications with the Trump Admin
- What the Trump Admin has promised them
