Stokes will deliver a talk, 'The Carbon Wave: A Story of Democracy, Parenthood, and the Race to Protect Our Planet,' recounting the passage of the legislation through the perspectives of three new parents.

The interchamber tensions between Democrats are becoming a regular feature of funding fights in the second Trump term. Lawmakers, strategists and voters alike exploded in anger last March when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and a handful of colleagues allowed a spending package to move forward amid the Elon Musk-led DOGE assault on federal agencies. In November, tempers again flared when a handful of Senate Democrats joined with Republicans to end a record 43-day shutdown.

Democratic Representatives Mike Thompson (CA-04) and Richard E. Neal (MA-01) even introduced a bill called the American Affordability Act, which promises to reduce housing, educational, and childcare costs with a variety of tax credits.

And-for good reason-recent polling shows that the cost of living tops the list of voters' concerns.
