What If You Couldn't Stop a Pipeline — Even After Proving It Would Poison Your Water?
Under a Republican proposal, a project can be proven illegal, dangerous, and based on lies. Republicans are saying build it anyway.

Republicans named this bill the "SPEED Act" and they are absolutely counting on you not reading it.

Here's what they’re not telling you (a 🧵)

House Republicans used their final day to pass handouts to polluters, foreign mining companies, and the NRA.

Everyone else? A lump of coal.

Shutting down research centers like the National Center for Oceanic Research robs Americans of critical weather data we need to stay safe. Climate change is fueling extreme weather events and natural disasters.

Trump’s refusal to accept that and his relentless attacks on science will cost lives.

We're just days away from the Republican health care cliff. Their solution? Pushing a fake plan that raises costs, kicks millions off their coverage, and takes away women's freedom to make their own health care decisions.

I will not vote for something that makes people’s lives worse.
December 17, 2025 at 10:22 PM
As if raising costs wasn’t enough, the GOP’s “health care” bills will strip insurance coverage for safe, legal abortions and jail parents of transgender young people who make health care decisions for their child.

These extremist bills are robbing Americans of their freedoms.

Trump and Republicans stripped health care from millions with their Big, Ugly Bill – and now they’re pushing a “plan” that will force people to pay even more for less coverage.

We only need a few Republicans to break from their sycophantic extremism and vote with us to protect health care.

Republicans are letting health care tax credits expire at the end of the month, which will spell disaster for millions of Americans. Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to save affordable health care, but folks like my constituent Diane already have to brace for impact:

I have some good news from DC: Last night, we passed the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act! The funds from this are a lifeline to keep schools open, teachers supported, and basic public services running.

The Trump administration is completely off the rails, and Congressional Republicans are doing nothing to rein them in. I won’t vote to give them another blank check to fund Trump’s authoritarian agenda.

The ACA tax credits that help millions of Americans afford health care are going to expire at the end of the month.

Every House Democrat has signed the petition to extend the credits for 3 more years – but not a single Republican.

Millions of Americans can barely afford their groceries and energy bills right now, and Trump’s unhinged attacks on cheap, clean energy are only making things worse.

Now, the courts have ruled that these senseless efforts aren't just destructive – they're also flat out illegal.

Food insecurity has only worsened in Marin County since Trump and Republicans slashed SNAP and stripped food away from hungry seniors, children, and veterans.

I heard from the amazing staff at the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank who's stepped in to fill these gaps. Thank you for all your work!

Opening California's protected coastlines to offshore drilling would be an environmental disaster. Trump's plan would pollute our beaches, enable oil spills, and devastate local economies.

This is an absolute nonstarter, and Senator Padilla and I will keep fighting back with our CA colleagues.

The cost of living is way too high, and Trump is doing nothing to help the American people.

Democrats are working to save affordable health care and lower daily costs, while Trump is building a ballroom and giving windfalls to his billionaire donors. It's despicable.

All kids – no matter their zip code, race, disability, or any other factor – deserve excellent education. 50 years ago, Congress passed IDEA to make that happen.

I'm going to keep fighting to make sure Congress delivers on this promise and stop the Trump admin from stealing it from our children.

Most Americans can't keep up with the skyrocketing cost of living – and Republicans are only making that worse.

Since Trump took office, the average family in California has paid $1,112 in higher prices due to his policies. The American people deserve better.

While millions of Americans struggle with the high cost of living, Trump and the GOP’s priority is letting Big Oil billionaires pollute our waters. On #TheFlipSide, I'm fighting harder than ever to protect communities from the toxic pollution, worse flooding, and skyrocketing costs this will cause.

50 years ago, Congress passed IDEA to transform classrooms for kids with disabilities. Fast forward to now: Trump is eviscerating the Dept. of Ed and putting special services on the chopping block.

Every child deserves the education they need to succeed, and I won’t stop pushing for full funding.

The Republican shutdown is over, but millions are still struggling to afford healthcare and food.

House Republicans' first priority?

NOT helping hardworking Americans, but jamming through more favors for billionaire polluters.

Americans deserve better. Definitely better than whatever House Republicans are cooking up for their billionaire buddies.

We deserve clean, reliable energy, good-paying jobs & affordable healthcare. Democrats won't sacrifice our health, environment, or livelihoods for polluter profits.

After months of Speaker Johnson doing everything he could to block us, I just voted to release the Epstein Files.

Survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth. We need to ensure anyone involved, no matter how wealthy or well-connected, is held accountable for these crimes.

While Trump drags us back to the Stone Age, China is lapping us on renewable energy.

We've seen it in Humboldt County and across the country. Trump is cutting millions in funding from major wind projects and abandoning the progress we've built for future generations. It's inexcusable.
