Today, @SenMarkey introduced the All Aboard Act, which would provide $80 billion to expand passenger and high speed rail! This bold bill offers a long-term vision for the U.S. rail system and lays the tracks for an all-electric rail system. 🚆⚡

ICYMI, a report found gas stoves are filling DC homes with asthma-linked NO2, but a local news outlet pulled the story. People deserve to have this critical information.

Days before Thanksgiving, @WUSA9 took down its story about pollutants @BeyondGasDC found in 600+ DC and MD kitchens with gas stoves. Is our local gas utility @washingtongas burying the truth and hiding the danger facing families?
@wcp is taking a look: washingtoncitypaper.com/arti…
It looks like the utility Washington Gas convinced a TV station to pull a story about the dangers of gas appliances. This is just wrong. People deserve to know the harmful impacts of living with gas.

Shortly after Lindsay moved to Baltimore, we measured nitrogen dioxide levels while her gas-burning stove was on. NO2 levels reached more than 4x the EPA’s outdoor safe limit of 100 ppb.
Burning gas indoors isn't healthy. Read @beyondgasdc report: beyondgasdc.org/cooking-up-d…
