We just sued the Bureau of Land Management, challenging its approvals of new oil & gas drilling permits on public lands in CA's San Joaquin Valley. This is just one of a list of ongoing legal challenges we’ve filed against BLM – yet they continue to hand over drilling permits to fossil fuels.

Big Oil wants us to pay THEM for the privilege of destroying our planet. The United to End Polluter Handouts campaign is not going to stand by & let it happen. We're calling for an end to nearly $170 BILLION handouts to fossil fuel companies in the next decade.

Trump is really showing his love & affection to his Valentine — Big Oil. Sorry Melania, we’re sure it’s unrelated to the $96 million that fossil fuel interests directly donated to his campaign 👀👀

No more business as usual. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are imposing pain on millions of people. Tonight, we’re taking this fight to the Senate floor. Russ Vought - author of Project 2025 - is up for a vote, and Democrats are using every second to throw a wrench in their plan.

Trump is likely to approve exports of liquified methane from 14 planned export facilities These approvals would cause an explosion of fossil fuel exports and deliver LNG to mostly Asian markets – which will then drive up prices for US energy consumers, according to a new Department of Energy study.
