It is a thoughtful, actionable approach to tackling the next big crisis barreling toward the United States, which will cost lives and livelihoods if we fail to heed the warnings of experts and scientists. Now is the the time for Democrats to lean into the issue: Republicans continued refusal to act should require them to pay a steep political price in November.
