  • June 4, 2020 William Barr Attorney General United States Department
    June 4, 2020 William Barr Attorney General United States Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530 Attorney General Barr: On Monday, we watched as police officers used flashbangs, tear gas, and rubber munitions against a peaceful protest across the street from the White House. Hundreds of law-abiding American citizens had gathered to protest the murder of George Floyd, an unarmed African American man who died last week in Minneapolis under the knee of a police officer. We could not understand why such aggressive tactics were being used – a whole 30 minutes before the District of Columbia’s curfew was set to go into effect – until we saw the President, yourself, and several senior White House officials walk through the site of the protest to film a cynical, political propaganda video that the White House later released through social media. The use of these measures for such a contemptuous purpose would be reason for condemnation on its own. However, the Washington Post reported yesterday that you were responsible for this reprehensible display. As you know, the First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” This appears to have been violated given the fact that no order to disperse was issued, no violence had been reported, and it was still 30 minutes before curfew. The Supreme Court has held that “expression on public issues ‘has always rested on the highest rung of the hierarchy of First Amendment values’" (NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co.), and that “debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open" (New York Times Co.

  • Meet Seth Moulton
    Meet Seth Moulton Seth Moulton is a Democrat, entrepreneur, and Iraq War veteran who wants to represent a new generation of leaders in Washington. Born and raised in the 6th District of Massachusetts by his parents Tom, a retired real estate lawyer, and Lynn, a secretary at Massachusetts General Hospital, Seth is no stranger to hard work and service. He attended public schools, followed by Phillips Andover and Harvard College, which he could only afford thanks to student loans. Seth spent his summers throughout high school and college repairing boats in Marblehead and working on a shortline railroad in New Hampshire to help pay for school. Seth’s college mentor, the late Reverend Peter Gomes, often said that believing in the right thing, or supporting others who do the right thing, is not good enough; you ought to go do it. Following Reverend Gomes’ advice, Seth committed to serving others and decided to join the Marines shortly after his college graduation in June 2001. Later that same year, our country was under attack and Seth was called to duty. Seth served four tours in Iraq over five years. While he didn’t agree with the war, and had no idea it would occur when he joined, he served with honor as he never wanted someone else to go in his place. He was in the first Marine company to enter Baghdad, worked to establish a free and independent Iraqi media, and was hand-selected to work directly for General David Petraeus as a liaison to senior Iraqi military and political leaders south of Baghdad.

  • August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

  • 1 April 2, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House Of
    April 2, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives H-232, United States Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: We are grateful for your tireless work to address the needs of all Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for your understanding of the tremendous burdens that have been borne by localities as they work to respond to this crisis and keep their populations safe. However, we are concerned that the COVID-19 relief packages considered thus far have not provided direct funding to stabilize smaller counties, cities, and towns—specifically, those with populations under 500,000. As such, we urge you to include direct stabilization funding to such localities in the next COVID-19 response bill, or to lower the threshold for direct funding through the Coronavirus Relief Fund to localities with smaller populations. Many of us represent districts containing no or few localities with populations above 500,000. Like their larger neighbors, though, these smaller counties, cities, and towns have faced enormous costs while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These costs include deploying timely public service announcements to keep Americans informed, rapidly activating emergency operations, readying employees for telework to keep services running, and more. This work is essential to keeping our constituents safe and mitigating the spread of the coronavirus as effectively as possible. We fear that, without targeted stabilization funding, smaller localities will be unable to continue providing these critical services to our constituents at the rate they are currently. We applaud you for including a $200 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of H.R.

Cathy McMorris Rogers Ranking Member Ranking Member U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, U.S. House Committee on Energy and Science, & Transportation Commerce Re: Consumer Protection and Recovery Act (H.R. 2668) Dear Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McCarthy, Chair Cantwell, Chairman Pallone, Jr., Ranking Member Wicker, and Ranking Member McMorris Rogers: As the leading antitrust and consumer protection officers in our respective States, we write to express our strong support for the Consumer Protection and Recovery Act, H.R. 2668 (“Act”), which will ensure the ability of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) to obtain equitable monetary relief and redress harms to consumers impacted by fraud or anticompetitive conduct. We applaud the Act’s goal of redressing harms suffered by victims of anticompetitive, unfair, or deceptive trade practices, and its application to FTC cases that are currently in litigation. The Act is essential to prevent the severe harm to consumers that will result from the Supreme Court’s recent decision in AMG Capital Management, LLC, et al. v. Federal Trade Commission,1 which held that the FTC lacks the authority to obtain equitable monetary relief through its Section 13(b) enforcement actions.2 The AMG decision upends four decades of FTC practice and seriously undermines the FTC’s efforts to combat fraud and other anticompetitive or unfair trade practices.

While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.

    7/7/2021 Moulton, Ocasio-Cortez, Costa, Markey and Gillibrand Build Coalition of 80 Lawmakers in Support of High-speed Rail | U.S. Congressman Seth Moulton CORONAVIRUS RESOURCES PREVIOUS ARTICLE June 30, 2021 MOULTON, OCASIO-CORTEZ, COSTA, MARKEY AND GILLIBRAND BUILD COALITION OF 80 LAWMAKERS IN SUPPORT OF HIGH- SPEED RAIL WASHINGTON —Today, Representatives Seth Moulton, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Jim Costa and Senators Ed Markey and Kirsten Gillibrand announced 71 Representatives and 4 Senators have joined their eorts to increase funding for high- speed and high-performance rail. The leaders have been circulating a bicameral letter to the committee chairs and leadership of both chambers for the last two weeks. The broad, 80-member coalition wants Congress to include high-speed rail among the transformational investments outlined in the American Jobs Plan, and they want Congress to invest as much in high-speed rail as it does in road and air travel. In the letter, the lawmakers said, “With the new administration, we have a generational opportunity to invest in our nation’s infrastructure, and we are grateful for your leadership in ensuring we invest in next generation infrastructure, not just the infrastructure of the past. As negotiations continue to develop around a comprehensive infrastructure package, we write to express our support for the inclusion of dedicated funding to develop international-standard high-speed rail with high-performance connections that feed into a larger network. A federal commitment to these modern and proven transportation systems will dramatically improve our environment, reduce inequity, and help grow cities and sustain vibrant downtowns across the nation.” The following Senators signed the letter: Sen.
