The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Living today well is the best way to prepare for the future.
🌱 The future of politics must confront climate change. Climate change is not a story for the future; it affects energy, agriculture, and urban life today. Protecting the environment is protecting our future. 🌎 What do you think needs the most change? #ClimateChange #Environment
The future belongs to people who refuse to give up. I support the Democratic Party because I believe in progress, equality, and protecting the systems that allow people to have a voice. Hope is a choice, and I choose hope.
When leaders demand loyalty instead of accountability, artists remind us that power should always be questioned. Democracy needs a sense of humor.
-From Quarks to Quasars 1/ Fired government scientists just launched a new site to keep climate data public.The site is called Climate.us & it was created by former staffers behind Climate.gov, the NOAA-run website long used by many for trusted climate information."

Trump promised to Make America Affordable Again. Instead he slashed billions from "blue state” DOE energy projects, including three in Rhode Island. I pressed Secretary Wright in the Science, Space & Technology Committee to stop playing politics and restart the projects.
RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter
Congress never voted to authorize Trump’s war. The result was strategic disaster. Now, he’s handing Iran costly, dangerous concessions to escape this mess. The President must submit the final deal with Iran to Congress for approval. Americans can’t afford another failure.
