If President Trump really cares about keeping Americans healthy, he wouldn't be doing this

The Methane Polluter Fee would stop dangerous leaks and keep natural gas going into our homes instead of the atmosphere — but it's under attack in Congress

New op-ed in @ajc.com: From solar panels to EVs, Georgia is attracting huge manufacturing investments & creating lots of good-paying jobs. Repealing clean energy tax credits would put thousands of Georgia’s jobs at risk. bit.ly/3QREDk9

President Trump’s firing the people who watch out for hurricanes and warn us when they're coming, the people who keep the polluters from breaking the law. Without them, there’ll be more kids with asthma, more cancer, more billion-dollar disasters #StandStrongForClimate

Americans know how the Trump administration's unlawful firings are jeopardizing their health, safety and future #StandStrongForClimate

Trump’s “cheaper” energy has already cost Americans more money #StandStrongForClimate

The Trump Administration has inflicted chaos, halting billions in funding for clean energy investments that create jobs and lower costs, firing experts and workers and blocking protections that save lives. Tell congress they must #StandStrongForClimate & stop Trump's climate chaos >>> bit.ly/3QyAbXt

#ICYMI: We hosted a press conference last week with @markey.senate.gov, other members of Congress, and key environmental and public health advocates. Here are the highlights ⬇️

🚨The Trump administration wants to ignore a key scientific basis for climate action, jeopardizing the lives of Americans🚨

The climate crisis impacts communities of color more than others; as Black History Month comes to a close, LaTricea Adams explains why environmental justice is so important to the fight for a better climate🌎

Senate Republicans just voted to roll back a commonsense fee on venting or flaring of methane—a vote that will cost taxpayers nearly $7.5 billion.   They're lighting your money on fire to save Big Oil a few bucks.

We should be working to lower energy costs for folks across the country, but Trump’s actions to cut off funding for clean energy, halt energy efficiency programs and level tariffs on heating oil, propane and gasoline are going to do the exact opposite.

When lawmakers in Congress cut clean energy incentives, state taxpayers pay the price. Read the full story >>> bit.ly/4bgKn0p

With over 10M people living within a half-mile of O&G production breathing polluted air, the methane polluter fee is good for our air and good for our communities, but some in Congress want to roll it back. 👇 www.edfaction.org/news-resourc...

Everyone deserves clean air and water. This Black History Month, we're celebrating leaders of the environmental justice movement🤝🏿🌎

Democratic Senators made their opposition to funding cuts clear during Thursday's vote-a-rama👏

Julia Pendleton, managing director of the Southeastern Wind Coalition: "Virginia imports the most energy of any state in the country. I think any energy source that we can produce locally is vitally important, given the demand increases that we expect over the next decade." bit.ly/4hGHHLU

Senator Whitehouse knows the threat of deregulated methane, and he's not backing down from defending Americans' right to breathe clean air.

The same person who promised to slash your energy costs just hiked up energy bills by $100! The Trump admin is unilaterally ripping away funding passed by Congress to lower energy bills for low-income households, leaving families in Alabama stranded. popular.info/p/trump-exec...

Rep. Castor is speaking facts👏

The halting of USDA funding is hurting American farmers—stalling progress at a time when farmers need innovation to make sure consumers can afford to keep putting food on their tables🚜

The Methane Pollution Fee helps protect our environment and economy, but now it's at risk. Tell your Representative to protect the Methane Pollution Fee >>> bit.ly/4gFiaBv

Vought threatens our Constitution, our democracy and our rights. Democratic Senators stood up to Vought’s confirmation, and together we will fight against Project 2025.

Russell Vought was just confirmed by the Senate, ensuring that the chaos and destruction of Project 2025 will continue. We must continue to fight back.

🚨EDF Action, Indivisible, Clean Air Moms Action, Latino Victory Project, and 31 other organizations signed a letter to senators opposing Russ Vought’s dangerous nomination🚨 We will continue to fight to defend our constitutional balance to protect American’s health and safety.

🚨 Trump's nominee for budget director, Russ Vought, wants to "traumatize" government scientists and public servants. The cost? Our families' health and safety. Senator Jeff Merkley on why we can't let this happen 👉

“Laws passed by Congress aren’t suggestions. Senators who back #Vought are choosing to undermine their own institution and give away their power of the purse.” @washingtonpost.com ed board wrote a SCATHING indictment of Trump’s pick to run the federal budget: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

We’re not backing down from protecting Americans’ health, safety and environment

🚨 Despite denying involvement with Project 2025, President Trump has chosen one of its key architects - Russ Vought - to oversee government spending. Meet the nominee 👉

In her State of the State address, @govmlg.bsky.social called on the NM legislature to make net zero by 2050 the law of the land. Senate Pro Tem Mimi Stewart's Clear Horizons Act will do just that. Let’s get it done! #ActOnClimate #NMleg #NMPol
