Our infrastructure investments are the most substantial since Eisenhower. Our manufacturing and science investments are the most significant in modern history. Our climate investments are the most transformative in the world, ever. We're investing in America, and it's working.

Tonight, there are parents who will never see their child again. Parents who will never be the same. To lose a child is to have a piece of your soul ripped away forever. I ask the nation to pray for them — to give them strength in the darkness.

Her name was Michelle Go.
Michelle Go was 40 years old. She worked at Deloitte. She is from CA, a graduate of UCLA and NYU Stern. She took spin classes and was a good friend & neighbor. Michelle Go had the right to be safe on the subway. Every person has the right to feel safe. nytimes.com/2022/01/16/nyreg…

October is a good time to reflect on key moments that shaped our history and how we can take steps every day to build a brighter future for all. In 2009, U.S. Congress recognized October as Filipino American History Month as advocated by @fanhs_national + other FilAm leaders

Last night, the Senate, with a bipartisan vote, enthusiastically confirmed @EPAMichaelRegan to head the @EPA. Regan immediately will get to work on leading the agency to justly and equitably #ActOnClimate. @Reuters: reuters.com/article/us-usa-e…

Peggy Shepard was quoted in @washingtonpost on the national climate platform signed by 70+ environmental groups. The article dwells on our differences, but this equitable & just agenda shows the strength in our unity. #ClimateChange #JustClimateFuture tinyurl.com/WaPoNatClimPlat

Communities of color, like my district, that are already disproportionately impacted by air pollution will suffer the most from rollbacks on clean car standards. Not only is this a public health issue for California, it will slow down our efforts to #ActOnClimate & keep us safe.
