Science Committee Democrats

‼️Was your grant canceled by President Trump? Democrats on the Science Committee want to hear from you. To better understand the impact of Trump's assault on science, @sciencedems have launched a submission form for individuals to share their experience. forms.office.com/pages/response…

I introduced the Stop NOAA Closures Act with @RepHuffman to block Trump from shuttering @NOAA facilities around the country. NOAA protects lives, livelihoods, and property by helping us predict, prepare, and respond. Americans deserve nothing less. #StopTheCuts

In #Oregon, we understand that timely weather analysis is crucial for our communities to plan and prepare. Shuttering NOAA would just put millions of Americans in danger. I am a proud cosponsor of @RepGabeAmo & @RepHuffman’s bill to block Trump from his reckless plans to close…

My office is hearing reports that the lease for the Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment, an EPA air pollution lab in Chapel Hill, was not renewed. Firing scientists and disrupting air pollution research doesn't keep our communities safe, and I'm exploring all…

“Science, technology, innovation—it is what made our country great,” said @RepSuhas, kicking off Things We’ll Never Know: A Science Fair of Canceled Grants. The event, hosted by @sciencedems, featured 28 scientists with a whopping 19 canceled projects. #StandUpForScience

🚨NEW: @RepZoeLofgren and @AFGENational Leaders Hold Press Conference Releasing @NSF Employees’ Letter of Dissent democrats-science.house.gov/news/press-rel…

Actions to set in motion Trump's proposed FY26 cuts to NASA Science before Congress votes on a full-year budget are illegal and threaten U.S. leadership in space and scientific research. I led a bipartisan letter as Ranking Member of the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee with…

I visited Fought & Company Steel in Tigard, where we discussed tariffs, supply chains, & current projects. I toured the 180,000-sq-ft facility, which plays an important role in our region’s infrastructure. Supporting manufacturers like this one is essential to sustaining good…

Cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service endanger lives across our country. I just introduced a bill to fund accurate precipitation forecasting and provide Americans with the tools they need to plan for extreme weather.

The Trump Administration is attempting to cut funding for NASA without congressional approval. This is illegal, unconstitutional, and wrong. It's also bad for NE Ohio, undermining the work done at NASA Glenn and undercutting the Ohioans who work there.

Bipartisan Congressional Letter: Alarm Over NASA Science Cuts Threatening U.S. Leadership in Space "Today, Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (NC-04), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology’s Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics, Congressman Don…

Americans need the tools to help them plan for and avoid heavy rain and flooding. I introduced a bill to do just that by improving precipitation forecasting.

🚨NEW: Committee Leaders @RepZoeLofgren & @ValerieFoushee Demand @NASA Cease Scheme to Illegally Impound FY25 Funds, Warn of Losing Leadership in Space “This is impoundment in action, and it must stop immediately." democrats-science.house.gov/news/press-rel…

Led @sciencedems in calling for a halt to Trump’s decimation of @NWS & @NOAA.   When mere minutes matter, firing meteorologists & scientists can have deadly consequences.    There is no doubt: major staff cuts hurt our ability to predict, prepare for, and respond to weather…

This Administration’s budget proposal cut 27% of NOAA funding and 17% of the NOAA workforce‼️ This comes on the heels of disasters like the Texas floods. There are only going to be more natural disasters and we are not prepared to properly respond because of these cuts.

Last week at the @ScienceDems science fair, scientists from U of M and MSU presented research that lost funding under the Trump administration. These cuts don’t just threaten research, they jeopardize Michigan’s future. I will continue to stand up against them because investing…
