    Proud of my home state of New York for continuing to lead on clean energy action—100% carbon neutral electricity by 2040. White House, Congress & our federal gov't need to invest in solutions that reduce carbon pollution across all sectors of our economy!

    The attack on Pearl Harbor came 77 years ago today, killing 2,335 American service members and 68 civilians, and wounding 1,178 others. Today we honor and remember the sacrifice of those who risked everything on that dark day, and all the days after.
