Republican lawmakers have introduced sweeping legislation to put Big Oil above the law.
The bills would dismiss existing climate accountability lawsuits and prohibit new legal action against the fossil fuel industry, forcing all of the costs of climate change onto everyday Americans.
TAKE ACTION: Big Oil companies are lobbying Congress for total immunity from any actions that could help them accountable for fueling the climate crisis.
Join the growing number of voices urging Congress to protect our right to hold Big Oil accountable.

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.
A lobbying group for “one of the world’s largest oil and gas corporations, with headquarters in Irving, Texas,” was a client of a massive hacking-for-hire scheme that targeted climate advocates, according to a grand jury indictment.
One suspect's lawyers "identified...the company as Exxon Mobil."
🚨URGENT: Big Oil is lobbying Congress to prevent communities from taking them to court for breaking the law. Now is the time for our elected leaders to speak with one voice and oppose legal immunity for Big Oil!

Big Oil is lobbying Congress for total immunity from any laws or lawsuits that could hold the industry accountable for fueling the climate crisis and lying about it.
We can’t let that happen.
“Big Oil’s climate lies are the most consequential and harmful corporate deception campaign in history, and the communities paying the price for that deception deserve to put these companies on trial.”
Our statement 👇
⚠️ Justice Alito — who owns stock in oil companies facing similar climate deception suits — did NOT recuse himself, even though he recused from Boulder's case in 2023, an identical petition in Honolulu last year, and many other similar cases.
Why recuse in Boulder's case in '23 but not in '26?
🚨 A U.S. House representative said she is crafting legislation to stop climate lawsuits and climate superfund laws that would make Big Oil companies pay for climate damages.
It’s time for leaders in Congress to speak out and make clear that Big Oil is not above the law.

BREAKING: Trump threatened to use the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis.
This rarely used federal law would allow him to deploy the U.S. military or federalize the National Guard against the American people.
His authoritarianism is out of control.
🏘️ A year after the destructive LA #wildfires, many are still struggling to rebuild.
Meanwhile, insurers are:
🚫 denying claims
⏳ delaying payments
⬆️ rising premiums
🛢️ investing in fossil fuels that drive climate risk
Insurers must put people over profits & polluters! Check out our experts' take 👇
Big Oil just said the quiet part out loud.
The American Petroleum Institute, the nation’s largest oil and gas trade association, said this week that one of its top 2026 priorities is to stop “state climate lawsuits.”
A top priority for the U.S. oil lobby in 2026 will be trying to put an end to state laws and lawsuits that could make fossil fuel companies pay billions for their role in the climate crisis.
It was happening behind the scenes, but now it's officially laid out in API's new policy agenda:
NEW: For 25 years, four oil giants sold false climate promises through deceptive ad campaigns.
Our report examined 300+ ads from BP, Chevron, Exxon, and Shell from 2000-2025.
Together they push a false narrative that Big Oil is leading climate solutions. In reality, they're fueling catastrophe.
Big Oil companies are lobbying Congress for a legal shield that could effectively put them above the law. 🚨
"No matter your politics, we should all agree that it’s dangerous and wrong to hand any industry a blanket get-out-of-jail-free card," writes Mayors Guyleen Castriotta and Bryan Kennedy.
Ahem
Surprise, surprise — Exxon doesn’t want to disclose its carbon emissions as required by a climate action law I authored, SB 253. Exxon is making an extreme, dangerous free speech argument that would cast doubt on SEC disclosure requirements.
They’re scared they won’t be able to greenwash anymore.
Why are New Jersey residents paying for climate disasters that Big Oil knowingly fueled?
"100-year floods happening every five to ten years...really cause havoc,” explains Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill. “It shouldn’t be up to the average citizen to pay for what they did."
A landmark moment in journalism.

1-2pm ET
Ten years ago, the world learned that #ExxonKnew as early as the 1970s that its fossil fuel business would fuel a climate crisis — but that they purposefully buried the science to protect their profits.
