The administration took another big step in advancing a dangerous fossil fuel agenda that prioritizes oil and gas profits over the health and well-being of communities and public lands by repealing the EPA’s "endangerment finding".
Across the West, schools, roads, and emergency services are still tied to fossil fuel revenue—leaving towns vulnerable when boom turns to bust. There’s a better way. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4aIvULT

91 years ago today, a small group of conservationists gathered around a radical idea: protecting wild places for their own sake. Since 1935, The Wilderness Society has been a national conservation organization dedicated to protecting America’s wild places.
Today is the 25th anniversary of the Roadless Rule. For a quarter century, it’s helped protect places like the Gila, keeping our national forests intact for hunters, anglers, families, and local communities. Public lands belong to all of us, and this rule helps keep them that way.
People across the West cherish our public lands. For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected millions of acres of our forests. In the face of Trump’s efforts to repeal this rule and sell our public lands, we’ll always keep fighting to protect these lands for future generations.
25 years ago today, the Roadless Rule was created to protect millions of acres of our national forests. The Trump administration is trying to dismantle it. USDA should listen to the hundreds of thousands calling to leave this rule in place to preserve public lands for wildlife & future generations.
Today marks 25 years of the Roadless Rule. It’s an extremely popular conservation measure that protects many of your favorite hunting spots, hiking trails, biking routes, and fishing streams across the country. But now the Trump administration wants to repeal it.
Thank you, Senator Hickenlooper, for your leadership!
Thank you for your support!!
“Donald Trump and his administration are attacking wind projects. They're attacking solar projects."
@kaine.senate.gov called out Trump’s sham "energy emergency" for what it is: a giveaway to Big Oil that is killing jobs & raising costs for working families.
"This is no emergency." 👇
Statement reading: The United States is producing more energy than any country in the world at any point in history. If President Trump wants to find the real emergency, he should look in the mirror. His war on American-made energy is yet another Trump mistake that will weaken our economy, raise prices, and kill new, good-paying jobs. And today’s vote goes to show, once again, that Senate Republicans refuse to do their jobs and put the American people above the wish lists of Trump’s donors and billionaire energy tycoons. To our colleagues: don’t say we didn’t warn you when your constituents’ energy bills go through the roof. To the American people: we’re going to keep fighting for you.
Trump is the energy emergency—and he’s killing jobs and raising costs. My joint statement with @senatorheinrich.bsky.social regarding Republicans’ rubber-stamping of Trump’s war on affordable, American-made energy:

The orders also included a secretive call for 15-day review of national monuments—”hiding the ball” in a manner that suggests the White House and Interior know these policies are unpopular.
