Elected leaders: hold Musk’s DOGE Accountable! Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was a disaster. They promised DOGE would save U.S. taxpayers trillions. Instead, it cost us all money, destroyed vital agencies, left...

DOGE gambled with Americans’ personal data and livelihoods. DOGE gutted vital government agencies.

No oversight. No transparency. No consequences.

That ends now. Tell Congress: Investigate DOGE. 🔍 #InvestigateDOGE @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social

Big Oil is asking Congress for a ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ card. We can’t let that happen. Join us in calling on members of Congress to take a stand and say NO immunity for Big Oil.

Enbridge has been destroying the planet since the '40s. In fact it is responsible for more than 1,000 spills between 1999 + 2013 alone. That = 7.4 million gallons of oil. And much of it on + near Anishinaabe lands — territories where Indigenous people have hunted, harvested wild rice, for centuries.

You can't repeal a scientific finding nor can a scientific finding die. Nevertheless, we held a memorial service for the EPA's "Endangerment Finding" at the Region 9 offices of the EPA in San Francisco. A good writeup of our tribute to the deceased is here: insideclimatenews.org/news/1504202...

Climate Activists Stage Mock Funeral for Landmark Climate Rule - Inside Climate News The Trump EPA’s repeal of the 2009 endangerment finding revokes the agency’s authority to regulate climate pollution. Environmental activists are mourning the loss while vowing to resurrect it.

The Center + our allies sued the Department of Homeland Security today for unconstitutionally waiving dozens of laws to fast-track border wall construction through the Big Bend region of Texas. The department is exercising powers Congress never authorized.

ICYMI: The Senate voted today to overturn a 20-year mining ban at Minnesota's #BoundaryWaters.

Congress has brushed aside Forest Service warnings and ignored overwhelming public support for protecting this area from copper mining.

Ever wonder why ants build colonies that last generations without trashing their habitat? Or how bees pollinate without poisoning the flowers? No intelligent species will destroy their environment in the disguise for development and profit—nature proves it.

USDA Says It Needs Roads to Fight Remote Wildfires, but a New Study Says Roads Bring More Fire to Forests - Inside Climate News Opponents of the move say the Trump administration’s push to rescind the Roadless Rule is a giveaway to the timber industry that ignores science and will make wildfires worse.

Critics say USDA’s planned scrapping of the Roadless Rule is a timber giveaway dressed up as wildfire policy, and new research confirms that roads increase the ignition of forest fires.

DHS says filming ICE is illegal and amounts to doxxing.

They’re absolutely wrong.

Recording law enforcement in public spaces is protected by the First Amendment — and courts have affirmed that right time and again.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

Today Nordea voted to continue financing new oil from the Arctic.

Nordea's claim to be a sustainability leader has watered down - they not only continue to be the biggest investor in fossil fuel companies in Finland but also retracted from their climate pledges.

Our polar coalition is not happy.
