No surprise DOE Secretary Chris Wright couldn’t give a straight answer when being pressed about illegally cutting #cleanenergy funding to blue states this week.
These actions aren’t saving us money; they’re stunting our chances at affordability, job growth, and healthier communities.
Clean energy manufacturing investments grew from less than $5 billion in 2019 to nearly $60 billion in 2023.

With temps rising, we need every tool at our disposal to keep workers safe, but the Trump admin is set to quietly allow the National Heat Emphasis Program to expire. This is unacceptable. #heatsafety #OSHA #workersafety #heatjusticenow https://loom.ly/sWHUk0Y

Happy International Women’s Day!
As we celebrate the women who strengthen our workplaces and our communities, we’re proud to stand in solidarity with women around the world today, and every day, as we continue working toward a more just and equitable future for all.
Addie Wyatt was a labor leader, civil rights activist, and the first Black woman elected as an international VP of a major union. She fought for fair wages, racial equality, and opportunities for women in the workplace.
And telling working people to just simply “earn more” while voting for job killing legislation like the misnamed “One Big Beautiful Bill” is a choice… #jonhusted www.huffpost.com/entry/jon-hu...
