I'm honored to officially become the President Pro Tempore of the Senate today. It's not lost on me the significance of what it means to be the first woman to serve in this role. This is another sign that slowly but surely, Congress is looking more like America.

The climate investments in Build Back Better are fully paid for and funded for ten years. It’s time for @POTUS and Congressional leadership to get back to work and find a way to deliver real climate action.
If they don’t, their chief legacy will be failure on climate change.

No, on climate we cannot just pivot to executive action.
Aggressive exec action is important. Biden’s going to need to use it in a wide number of areas.
But its not a toolbox that includes hundreds of billions in bold and equitable investments building our clean energy economy.

.@SecGranholm to @JayInslee: Governors who have state-level Clean Electricity Standards “can point to them as having attracted investments and having created jobs… and we just want to put that on steroids on the federal side" by passing a CES through reconciliation.

Beaming with gratitude for @leahstokes, @SamTRicketts, @arjjacob, @JesseJenkins, @jamalraad, @EvergreenAction, my team at @DataProgress—especially @x3Marcela_ and @danielledeis—and many others who have worked tirelessly to get us this far. We're not there yet, but this is big!!

As we celebrate #Juneteenth and the long struggle for recognition, let’s remember our brothers and sisters who sacrificed so that we could be where we are today.
There’s much work to be done, but we continue to march toward justice.

"This is as clear as day. No climate, no deal. We need to move forward... now that the Republicans have shown us they are not serious about creating clean energy jobs, jumpstarting a clean energy revolution..." - @SenMarkey #NoClimateNoDeal NoClimateNoDeal.com

“The proposal marks the first time President Biden’s administration has used the power of the federal government to mandate a cut in climate pollution.”
And it won’t be the last time. There’s a lot more work to do. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

This is a good bill and @POTUS should advocate for its inclusion in the infrastructure plan
Today @SenSherrodBrown and I are introducing our Clean Transit for America plan to replace dirty diesel buses with zero-emission fleets
It will create jobs, reduce deadly pollution, & beat back climate change
I'll work with President Biden to include it in the #AmericanJobsPlan

"The American Jobs Plan will create jobs to lay thousands of miles of transmission line needed to build a resilient and fully clean grid. We can do that." - @POTUS

"My fellow Americans, trickle-down economics has
never worked.
It’s time to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle-out."

To see @VP and @SpeakerPelosi seated behind @POTUS for the first time in history is incredibly moving ⭐️💯

That's right folks lets build a fully 1⃣0⃣0⃣% clean grid

Who’s leading the White House's climate agenda? Black officials.
The U.S. Senate just confirmed Brenda Mallory to chair the Council on Environmental Quality, a key role that will coordinate environmental justice policy throughout the entire administration.

I’m excited to celebrate the inauguration of @JoeBiden as the 46th President of the United States. I look forward to working with him on the many challenges that face our country and enacting effective clean energy policies to address the climate crisis.

The White House Office of Domestic Climate Policy is in excellent hands with my former team member @maggiethomas315 as Chief of Staff. @JoeBiden has built an incredible team to boldly address climate change. Let’s go get ‘em.
