03/17/2022 Tweet - "The incongruence between falling oil prices & higher prices at the gas pump is causing immense damage to American families If anyone thinks this is fair, efficient, or sensible--they're probably an oil executive We will be calling those oil executives to testify before Congress"
03/17/2022 Tweet - "Last year, the top 25 oil and gas companies reported a combined $205 billion in profits. And instead of giving Americans a break at the gas pump, they've used their profits to reward shareholders with stock buybacks. The Senate will call Big Oil CEOs to testify before Congress."
03/16/2022 Tweet - "Unbelievable: Big Oil is telling consumers to just wait for prices to go down even though the price of oil is already dropping. We are calling Big Oil executives to testify before the Senate."
03/16/2022 Tweet - "Instead of lowering gas prices, Big Oil companies are using their soaring profits to reward their shareholders with stock buybacks. That is wrong. Today, I'm announcing that we will be calling the CEOs of major oil companies to testify before Congress."
03/16/2022 Tweet - "The bewildering incongruity between falling oil prices and rising gas prices smacks of price gouging and is deeply damaging to working people. The Senate is going to get answers, and that's why we will be calling the CEOs of major oil companies to testify before Congress."

02/02/2022 Tweet - "I stand with @SaneEnergy , @RepMaloney , and @NydiaVelazquez in working to get @NYSDEC to reject unneeded new gas infrastructure for the North Brooklyn Pipeline. The community is speaking loud and clear: They don't want this project."

Among so many--I'm grateful to @ZohranKMamdani who shared with me in July what stopping this plant would mean for his neighbors. This will protect the future for Astoria and kids like the Veggie Nuggets."
06/30/2021 Tweet - "BREAKING: @POTUS signed legislation to re-instate limits on methane pollution from oil and gas production This action to #CutMethane originated in the Senate to reverse a Trump-era decision And it's far from the last major climate legislation that'll pass the Senate this year!"
01/27/2021 Tweet - "I'm proud that President Biden is announcing a slew of executive actions on climate: To support workers, people, disadvantaged communities To address environmental justice and place science at the heart of our climate policy To halt new oil and gas development on federal lands"
