Trump can lie all he wants, but working families know the truth: groceries, gas, & electricity are getting more expensive—and it's because of his tariffs, the war he started, and his billionaire-first policies.

EPA rollbacks are exposing millions of people, including 2 million kids, to pollution linked to asthma, autism, ADHD, and cancer.
That’s not “making America healthy again.”
This comes from a new report by Center for American Progress.

Today @climatehawksvote.com is endorsing Chris Espinosa for Congress. This one matters for me because I live in California's 26th Cong District, I walked my feet off for @juliabrownley.house.gov back in the day, and I want to see a fighter in this seat. Chip in? secure.actblue.com/donate/clima...
One can hope that today’s court intervention blocking Trump’s East Wing ballroom bullsh*t may lead to preemptive blocks on any of Trump’s desires for the Kennedy Center.
Really worrisome proposal from Trump that will mean more people get cancer. Lots of folks are shocked to learn they have a sterilizer in their neighborhood or near their kids school, and Trump just made it easier for them to poison your and your kids’ futures.
Woah, 100% agree would be counterproductive to kill a VPP program!!
Saturday “No Kings”
Today ‘No (White House) Owners’
The bullsh*t ballroom is so emblematic of Trump trying to do whatever he pleases regardless of laws, and as with so many other of his actions, the courts have intervened against his actions.
Thanks @schumer.senate.gov for vision:
1. Clean energy is affordable energy; we need more not less
2. Permitting certain & simplicity for clean energy
3. Upgrade aging grid w/ storage, tech, & transmission
4. Make Data Centers pay fair share
5. Systematic protection for consumers on rising prices
Trimmed* for brevity: ahem, "and I specifically mean for my fossil fuel cronies, this isn't bad news."

Thank you for your leadership!!!
Big day- check your Senators’ and Reps’ scores- lcv.org/scorecard
Our elections are secure, noncitizen voting is illegal, & both Republicans and Democrats win fair and square to believe otherwise is to believe in the tooth fairy and the Loch Ness monster. #SOTU
True statement.
Ah, now some truth being spoken, thank you Gov. Spanberger!
That!
100%
So, I think it’s part of the authoritarian playbook to openly admit that their acts of war and violence are not actually targeted to what they claim they are. In reference to efforts to bomb boats originating from Venezuela, he said “no one wants to go fishing anymore”. #SOTU
Since Dems in the chamber don’t have a mic, let me say, here in the US, we are (almost) all immigrants. (And let’s be real, he isn’t going to be protecting Native Americans.) #SOTU
What Trump didn’t say- by 16 points Americans OPPOSE fossil fueled data centers so having them build their own (unregulated) power plants for electricity is as unpopular as it is damaging for our health and families budgets. #SOTU
"This is definitely not a decision based on science. The science is clear, indisputable.
LCV's @matthewhdavis.bsky.social was on ABC News to discuss the Trump administration's repealing of the Endangerment Finding, which requires the EPA to take action to reduce climate pollution.
WATCH 👇
And Trump’s policies have driven up energy prices 13%, because the “green new scam” was lowering prices because wind solar and batteries are the cheapest and fastest to deploy energy. Turns out coal is costly and dirty and outdated, despite what the Undisputed Champion of Coal says. #SOTU
Appreciate #ABC’s #GoodMorningAmerica coverage on Trump’s anti-science rollback of climate pollution limits that will sicken us all and drive up costs- honored to be interviewed: www.facebook.com/share/v/17Ar...
Appreciate thorough takedown of WaPo anti-climate pro-Bezos editorial. Truth you won’t find in the editorial: In 2009, EPA determined climate pollutants are “air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare”. Two SCOTUS rulings & decades of science back 2009 EPA!
Totally agree on another Jason Grumet point (!) at @bipartisanpolicy.org permitting conference- unless there’s a big change from the Trump administration which tried to block $25B in almost complete offshore wind projects only a month ago, then bipartisan permitting reform won’t happen.
I low key agree with Jason Grumet on one point- the Trump administration is breaking norms and trying to block all clean energy and without changes to that we are looking at a dystopian future. @bipartisanpolicy.org permitting conference
The INGAA speaker probably could see my eye roll from the back at @bipartisanpolicy.org permitting conference when she complained that people don’t want more of their polluting pipelines and infrastructure in their communities & fight at every step. Hopeful note: communities know pipelines pollute!
At @bipartisanpolicy.org permitting reform hearing Rep. Gabe Evan take aim at the Clean Air Act, lying about how wildfire smoke events are dealt with- these are called exceptional events and absolutely do not mean local industry has to reduce their pollution.
