Someone who speaks at a climate denier conference spreading gross mistruths is unfit to lead the EPA...and 290+ health professionals agree. #ZeldinMustGo www.actonclimate.com/post/290-hea...
"Lee Zeldin is overseeing the destruction of everything the EPA stands for. His tenure is making climate change and air pollution more dangerous and more deadly for all Americans. He cannot be trusted with our nationâs health.â

An image capture of the NYC Statue of Liberty on a cool toned evening, with an opaque cool blue colored rectangular text box and a cool blue color text overlay that reads: âThe United States is the largest historical fossil fuel user, responsible for over $10 trillion in global climate damage since 1990.â
A new study published in Nature links national emissions to economic losses from rising temperatures, estimating trillions in global damages over recent decades, with about 25% occurring within the United States. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Have a gas stove? Protect your familyâs health: open windows when cooking and use electric driers, tea kettles, portable induction stove tops to reduce gas use. See info sheets below! www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Record midsummer heat in March is a wake-up call: Climate change is here, and itâs making conditions across the country more dangerous and deadly. We must #ActOnClimate now. weather.com/news/weather...
American communities need an EPA administrator that actually protects our health and climate instead of prioritizing fossil fuel handouts. @whitehouse.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov are standing up for climate protections and calling on Lee Zeldin to resign. #ZeldinMustGo
Over the weekend, members of TX PSR joined #nokings rallies across the state. In Austin, we joined with Texans Ending Nuclear Dangers to promote the anti-nuclear work we are engaging in. @backfrombrink.bsky.social @psr.org
This brief essay reveals a key insight into how to Make America Healthy Againâ by making our environment (air, water, soil, food, energy, buildings, cities, etc) healthy again.

Timely article by @earthjustice.org featuring @psr.org past president Dr. Mark Vossler on the health impacts of climate change: "The federal govt is purposely rolling back climate regulations at every level. These are preventable deaths weâre talking about here." đ©șđ earthjustice.org/article/as-d...
5 orthopedists joined our climate health contingent for #NoKings. Asked why, they said â We know that when something is broken, you need to fix it.â @docsforclimate.bsky.social

When the administrator of the EPA treats public health protections as obstacles to corporate profit, the American people deserve accountability. They deserve an EPA that works for them, not against them. Lee Zeldin must go. #GameOverZeldin

âArizonans thought they knew a thing or two about heat, but nobody has felt a March like this before. âWeâre well beyond our normals,â said Alicia Ryan, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Phoenix."

We stand by Michigan's senators looking into whether the Trump administration's NWS cuts affected the agency's ability to forecast this month's tornadoes. Michiganders are not expendable and deserve prompt, accurate warnings about dangerous weather. michiganindependent.com/features/pet...
Administrator Lee Zeldin has walked away from the Environmental Protection Agency's core mission: protecting our health and the environment. After a year on the job, he's put polluters first and rolled back climate and health protections. #GameOverZeldin

Across the Rockies and the West Coast, this winter has been among the driest on record, and now heat waves are melting what little snow remains ahead of the typical spring thaw. insideclimatenews.org/news/1303202...
We refuse to stay silent while Lee Zeldin treats our lives like a line item to be deleted. The EPA is for the people, not polluters. His time is up; Lee Zeldin must go. #GameOverZeldin www.gameoverzeldin.com
Earlier this week, @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social joined Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environment, PSR PA, and local health experts in opposition to Trump's rollbacks of pollution safeguards that expose Philly communities already overburdened by pollution to greater health risks.

With over 120 House Dems sponsoring the #EnergyBillsReliefAct, we had to stop by Capitol Hill to thank @casten.house.gov and @levin.house.gov for their leadership on the bill - this is the solution families need, one that will deliver more energy, more quickly, to help control skyrocketing costs.
This is not normal. Yesterday, Phoenix surpassed 100 degrees â the earliest triple-digit temperature ever recorded for the city. We must cut fossil fuels and the climate pollution it causes to protect people from this deadly, extreme heat. #PeopleOverPolluters
The Trump administration wants to spend a BILLION DOLLARS of our money to *prevent* clean energy companies from finishing their offshore wind projects.
You read that right.
This is completely nonsensical and harmful "policy" that will benefit absolutely no one except for Trump's Big Oil buddies.

RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine crusade isn't just bad science â it's a direct threat to Black Americans.
This is a must read from The Root highlighting our new report with APHA that breaks down how his policies are making communities of color sicker.
A 13% spike in energy bills over the last year is a warning sign. The #EnergyBillsReliefAct, introduced today, will cut through the red tape blocking affordable clean energy - like wind and solar - from reaching the grid and put money back in the pockets of families.
By expanding clean energy access and replacing dirty fossil fuels, the #EnergyBillsReliefAct would reduce harmful pollution that threatens our health, lower energy costs, and protect us from the risks of climate-change driven extreme weather. #CleanEnergyDelivers casten.house.gov/media/press-...
Today, @casten.house.gov and @levin.house.gov introduced the #EnergyBillsReliefAct, legislation that would deliver solutions to boost clean energy that meets rising demand, lowers energy costs, and combats the climate crisis. #CleanEnergyDelivers www.actonclimate.com/post/cacs-ma...
