Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) says consumer groups and retailers are announcing today support for her bipartisan legislation with GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley to restore congressional authority over tariffs. Cantwell goes on to say the support includes "organizations who know their bread and butter comes from consumer spending, which is a big part of our economy," adding, "They are very anxious about a plan."

Yesterday, members from the outdoor recreation community testified in front of Congress about ways that we can protect public lands and expand outdoor recreation, while also enhancing the outdoor recreation economy by providing more opportunities for small business.
"Strong, healthy, and sustainable public lands and waters breed strong, healthy, and sustainable small businesses and local communities, and our special outdoor places need support to keep the outdoors accessible and enjoyable and small businesses open." - @JessOutdoorRec

Thank you President Biden for your work to provide career training for future generations that promotes clean energy and protects our environment.    Proud to have sent a letter with @RepAOC & @SenMarkey to ask @POTUS to create this program.
Today, I'm taking executive action to launch the American Climate Corps – a workforce initiative that will train over 20,000 young people for good-paying jobs in the clean energy and climate resilience economy. Whitehouse.gov/ClimateCorps
