Georgia-Pacific is trying to use bankruptcy maneuvers to evade accountability.
Its asbestos-containing products hurt thousands of victims.
The Supreme Court must reject this ploy, or it could become a playbook for corporate scheming.

Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
Millions of Americans, including myself, participate in airline rewards programs. But these programs need oversight.
I introduced the Protect Your Points Act to ensure that these programs remain transparent & that airlines cannot take advantage of customers through bait and switch tactics.
You know that Spring has sprung when the Cubs return! Happy opening day to the Chicago Cubs, and best of luck in the season ahead. #Gocubsgo!
I met with leadership from the Morton Arboretum, located in DuPage County, to discuss how we can protect their 1,700 acres of forest and greenspace.
We must preserve America’s forests so they may continue to play an essential role in both the environment and recreation for generations to come.
Congress isn’t doing much legislating these days.
Protecting kids from the dangers of social media is popular and bipartisan.
Just a suggestion for the Republican leaders.
These back-to-back decisions in New Mexico and California show that Big Tech has become Big Tobacco. Now, it’s time for Congress to sunset Section 230 once and for all.
Energy-hungry data centers can cause significant increases in utility bills.
I introduced the Data Center Water and Energy Transparency Act to require data centers to disclose their electricity and water needs as they crop up around the country.
Parents and grandparents are scared as hell by what social media platforms are pushing to kids.
Time to regulate these companies.
A New Mexico jury found Meta liable to the tune of $375 million for harming kids.
It’s time Congress takes note.
REGULATE BIG TECH.
Families are tired of waiting on Congress to regulate social media platforms.
Pass the DEFIANCE Act.
Pass the STOP CSAM Act.
Pass the Sunset Section 230 Act.
Congress had allocated billions of dollars for the expansion of low-cost wind and solar energy to help Americans afford their energy bills, but President Trump stopped it. Why? Because his billionaire oil donors asked him to.
Senate Republicans for the THIRD time blocked a resolution that would require Congress to approve further armed action against Iran.
Servicemen and women are dying, and taxpayers are paying billions of dollars for this war, yet Republicans refuse to conduct adequate oversight.
Honored to receive the Champion of Justice award tonight.
I started my career as a small-town attorney. I’ve seen how different economic means impacts access to justice.
Legal aid changes lives for the better.
I met with Emanuelis Zingeris, member of the Lithuanian Parliament, to reiterate my support for Lithuania and our Baltic allies. As Russia increases its provocations in the region, it is essential we stand by NATO and defend the principles of democracy.
Most plastic waste ends up in landfills, incinerated, or worse—finding its way into our rivers, lakes, and oceans.
I introduced the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act to prohibit the discharge of plastic pellets into waterways and address the plastic problem that is plaguing our nation’s wildlife.
Colin McDonald is more interested in scoring political points for Donald Trump and the enriched fraudsters he has pardoned… than he is in actually fighting fraud.
This “division” is just another vessel for political retribution.
I vote no on his nomination.
President Trump’s constant impulsiveness is something we’ve come to expect from him.
But his instability poses real risks to America’s economy and our service members abroad.
Jack Smith offered to testify publicly under oath.
Senate Judiciary Republicans would rather pursue a baseless partisan witch-hunt.
A complete waste of time.
Replacing nurses with robots. Claiming AI will fix doctor shortages. The Trump Admin’s sick view of rural health care overpromises & underdelivers. These flashy claims don’t make up for the tens of billions of dollars they’re taking away from rural hospitals & clinics.
