Fossil fuel companies live in a dying industry. Yet, they still get $650 billion a year in tax subsidies. They are deeply afraid of legislation that provides Americans with cleaner, cheaper energy and creates millions of good-paying jobs along the way. https://t.co/BnSAB3wa0j — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

In 2018, 1 in 5 deaths globally could be attributed to fossil fuel pollution. At the same time, companies like @exxonmobil lobbied for tax cuts that saved them billions and permits allowing them to pollute the air. Any ideas why fossil fuel companies hate the #AmericanJobsPlan? — PolitiTweet.org

Congress hasn't invested in transportation infrastructure in decades and it shows: roads are crumbling, bridges are failing, & water systems are in jeopardy. That changes today as @HouseDemocrats passed the INVEST in America Act to modernize our infrastructure & #BuildBackBetter. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

Like COVID, #ClimateChange is a threat multiplier to our economy. The earlier we respond, the less costly it will be to protect Americans against it, but the longer we wait, the more expensive it will be. With a climate @POTUS and majorities in Congress, we CANNOT afford to wait. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

A cleaner, stronger economy w/ better job opportunities + saving our planet for future generations = a win-win for everyone. As co-chair of the @NewDemCoalition Climate Change Task Force, I support this slate of bills that will combat the climate crisis and create jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

These are the types of transition risks that financial institutions need to account for. We are all facing deeper and wider exposures to climate change than we had thought. In today's hearing, we discussed how two bills I introduced can safeguard our economy against these risks. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

Last year, fossil fuel companies wrote off $145 billion of assets in the first three quarters. As I pointed out in today's @FSCDems subcommittee hearing, Exxon Mobil didn't write off all that money because they were ‘woke’. https://t.co/jPzl27QEgw — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s never forget - when asked about how Robinhood mishandled Alex Kearns' account, @VladTenev said "It’s hard for me to find too much fault in the decisions we made." Shame on you. https://t.co/dhfCZ0Inhm — PolitiTweet.org

If you haven’t heard of @FERC, you’ll want to read up on them. FERC is one of the most important federal agencies in our fight against #ClimateChange and is key to our transition to a clean energy economy. Filling this seat must be a priority. https://t.co/94Okh26eSj — PolitiTweet.org

The House had hoped Congress would create an independent, bipartisan Commission, but @SenateGOP used the filibuster to block a vote in the Senate. Today, the House established a Select Committee to Investigate the #January6th Attack on the United States Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

Our infrastructure is crumbling, and @HouseDemocrats have a bill to fix it. Today, the #INVESTAct is on the House floor to deliver on the bold vision that the American Jobs Plan calls for by rebuilding our nation’s roads, bridges, rail systems, transit, and water infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

#ClimateAction and economic growth go hand-in-hand. With record temperatures in the PNW, flooding, extreme storms, and crumbling infrastructure, Congress ought to pass a bill that addresses all of these problems—and creates jobs at the same time. — PolitiTweet.org
