The #ClimateCrisis is both urgent and complex; we must act now to mitigate the financial, environmental & human risks that it poses. We can achieve this by modernizing our electric grid for clean energy sources and improve upon the Federal Power Act & CAFE standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I got the privilege to speak about my upcoming legislation and ideas on how we tackle the #ClimateCrisis at @EnergyCommerce’s member day. — PolitiTweet.org

This bill will centralize & provide a focus for the research & development of low-carbon technologies that is already occurring at @ENERGY. I want to thank @SenWhitehouse, @Sen_JoeManchin, @SenCapito for being great partners on this bill. Read more here: https://t.co/jRuFWVBhdS — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

In order to tackle the existential threat that is #ClimateChange, we must encourage the reduction of carbon across all sectors of our economy. Achieving this goal requires additional research & development. For that reason, I’m introducing the Clean Industrial Technology Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

Looking forward to testifying this morning. Tune in! https://t.co/yOPAOph17n — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly HALF of all calls placed to cell phones last year will be scam calls. That’s why I’m a cosponsor of the #StopBadRobocalls Act, which passed the House last night & will put a stop to the onslaught of robocalls once and for all. https://t.co/Pir0KU6cJz — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

This bill would for the first time, establish both nation-wide standards & access for these tests. No child should have to die from a screen-able condition because where they live has different standards for these tests. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

Over the last 50 years, advancements in medical technology have allowed us to identify & better treat life-threatening conditions at birth. These tests save so many lives each year & that’s why I’m a proud co-sponsor of the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad Robert #Mueller is finally able to discuss his report today – particularly Russian’s continued attacks on our democracy - with @HouseJudiciary, @HouseIntel, and most importantly the American people. I will be watching throughout the day to hear his testimony. https://t.co/Ox2CYsEDVj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

Sexual Harassment in the workplace is never okay and happens far too often in STEM fields. That’s why I am a proud to be a co-sponsor of the Combating Sexual Harassment in Science Act which passed the House unanimously. Introduced by Chairwoman @RepEBJ. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

All veterans selflessly served our country, so all veterans deserve access to the @AmericanLegion's services and community. I’m proud to cosponsor the LEGION Act to expand membership eligibility and send it to the President’s desk today. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I met with Patrick and Eileen from Downers Grove, as well as, folks from @GO2Foundation. There are 5,940 new cases of #LungCancer each year in the state of #Illinois alone.

We also requested that a timeline of events, along with a status of progress, be shared publicly to reassure neighboring communities that the EPA is working to mitigate the cancer risk associated with prolonged EtO exposure. Read our letter: https://t.co/dcpXLKPPfI — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

.@SenatorDurbin, @SenDuckworth, @RepBillFoster, @RepLipinski, @RepSchneider & I sent a letter to @EPA to set stricter standards for Ethylene Oxide after we heard about the potential reopening of Sterigenics. They must do their job & protect Illinoisians. https://t.co/LBZq6k9pmY — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

I’m proud to be part of a majority that is working hard to make a more safe, equal, and financially secure America.

In April, I testified before the @AppropsDems to revive the #OTA. My work on this issue, along with several of my colleagues has led to the inclusion of funding for the OTA in the Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill. https://t.co/WKbzUwXbEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

We need #OTA so that we can conduct the necessary research to fully understand all positive and negative aspects of these new emerging technologies so that members of Congress can create meaningful policies that address these issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

During my time in #Congress, I've been working hard to fulfill my campaign promise to bring back the Office of Technology Assessment that was defunded more then 20 yrs ago. This office is a non-partisan entity that conducts deep dives on new technologies. https://t.co/g6ipkuFqJp — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten

One of the most dramatic illustrations of the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis is the melting of the #Arctic. This week, I met with Alice Rogoff, a leading advocate and expert on this issue. https://t.co/OEuTE8ZUw4 — PolitiTweet.org
