As temperatures rise, the US Corn Belt could see insurance claims soar.
Crop insurance is a lifeline for farmers. But research shows it's not ready for climate change.

Just imagine what we could fund (schools! healthcare!) if we weren't subsidizing Big Oil and Gas and the destruction they cause.
Here are some inconvenient truths:
1⃣Climate change is real
2⃣Oil production has dropped under Pres. Trump
3⃣The GOP reconciliation package adds $4.5T to the national debt
In the Natural Resources Committee, we're asking Republicans to work with us on an organized, long-term clean energy transition.
House Republicans are trying to sell off our public lands to give handouts to big oil.
I’ll be voting no on that.
Yesterday, GOP leadership told their members *not to speak* during a 14-hour “debate” on their plan to sell off public lands to fund billionaire tax cuts. 🤫
They couldn’t defend it, they just voted for it.
That’s not leadership.
I just discovered that the Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee traded stocks of oil and gas companies just as Republicans are about to pass a budget to benefit the very same companies.
The corruption is astounding.
Yesterday, I revealed the Chair of the Natural Resources Committee is trading oil & gas stocks right as we're considering a budget with unprecedented handouts to those very same oil & gas companies.
As Republicans try to profit off of the tax breaks they're giving to Big Oil, we're fighting back.
I came to Congress to steward our natural resources, have honest conversations even when we disagree, and uplift the voices of #MD03.
15 hours and nearly 100 amendments later, me and my Democratic colleagues continue to use every tool at our disposal to combat the Trump Administration's harmful policies – especially those that threaten the Chesapeake Bay and our state’s precious natural resources.
This week, in the House Natural Resources Committee, Oregon’s public lands are under attack.
As the Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, I’m using every tool I’ve got to stop the GOP’s reckless push to sell off what belongs to all of us.
Politico article on Rep. Dexter’s amendments in the House Natural Resources Committee markup of the Republican budget.
I’m using every single tool at my disposal to stop House Republicans’ Big Oil give away. Our children deserve better.
🧵 House Republicans are trying to gut our environmental protections. As Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee, I’m raising the alarm on the 5 worst climate provisions in their reckless budget reconciliation bill.
Today, Republicans are holding a yard sale for America’s backyard.
They're jamming through some of the nastiest environmental laws ever seen to give tax cuts to billionaires.
Why? Because they want to raise a billion dollars to pay for those tax cuts. youtube.com/shorts/UbLWw...
Then there was that time the Republicans didn’t stick around in committee for THEIR OWN reconciliation bill.
We’re motioning to adjourn on this ridiculous bill. #DemsShowUp!
Everything about this Reconciliation bill in Natural Resources is a total lie. It’s bad for our:
- Economy
- Environment
- Communities
That’s why we’re prepared to sit here all day and fight it every step of the way.
We’re more than 8 hours into this Reconciliation markup in the House Natural Resources Committee and the GOP has completely stopped engaging on answering basic questions about their own bill.
We have never seen anything like it. It’s going to be a long night.
In an effort to conceal their scheme to sell off our public lands, House Republicans were ordered by their leadership not to debate or even speak during our 13-hour committee proceeding.
We have a moral imperative to address climate change, which will have enormous impacts on the future we leave behind for our kids and beyond.
Today, at the @naturalresources.bsky.social hearing, I spoke out on the GOP's giveaway to Big Oil, the most sweeping attack on our environment in history.
Today, Republicans are pushing the most extreme anti-environment bill in American history – betraying our public lands, clean air and water, and the American people in the process.
House Republicans’ budget cuts national park funding, slashes clean air and water protections, and pushes the most extreme anti-environment bill in American history as the cherry on top.
Today, while Democrats called out this billionaire giveaway, House Republicans hid in their offices.
