Offshore wind projects that were set to power over 1.3 million U.S. homes were traded for…zero added energy capacity, actually. 🤦🏽♀️ As Emily says in this article, “Americans’ side of the bargain appears to be worthless”. heatmap.news/energy/total...
NEW from @CBSNews + @KFFHealthNews: Trump’s environmental rollbacks are increasing pollution and health risks near industrial sites, harming kids and communities in Pennsylvania and breaking his administration's promise to make America healthy: www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...
The administration is working to strip away lifesaving protections, which would expose 9.5 million+ Americans, including 2 million+ kids, to toxic chemicals and pollution tied to asthma, cancer and other major health problems @americanprogress.bsky.social : www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...
HEALTH ALERT: More evidence that the Trump administration is breaking its “Make America Healthy Again” promises and prioritizing corporate polluter profits over Americans' health and wellbeing: @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy, @kffhealthnews.org: www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...
American farmers deserve better than quick fixes from the Trump administration that leave them even worse off.
Each state has the power to make Citizens United irrelevant. CAP's @thmoore.bsky.social explains Montana's strategy to remove dark money from its politics:
An image featuring a quote from Jason Freed, an educator in Tucson, Arizona, about the high cost of electricity. The background shows a high-angle view of the Tucson city skyline with a desert landscape and saguaro cacti in the foreground. Large, hand-drawn-style speech bubbles contain the following text: "Electricity is a huge issue in Arizona because of how hot it is. We do anything we can to keep the AC use down. If you leave your house or sit in front of a fan all day just to keep the bill under control, something's off. If prices keep going the way they are, we're going to have to keep cutting corners." The final sentence is highlighted in yellow. At the bottom, there is a headshot of Jason Freed, a man with short dark hair wearing a suit and tie, next to his name, occupation, and a yellow location pin icon for "Tucson, AZ." The bottom right corner features the "Center for American Progress" logo.
Families like Jason Freed's are faced with difficult decisions as both the temperature and his utility bills continue to rise.
Infographic asks "How old will Zendaya be when we close the gender wage gap?" A timeline shows her at 29 in 2026 and 74 in the projected gap-closing year of 2071. It notes women earn 81 cents for every dollar men make. A caption reads: "Zendaya never ages, but how old will you be in 2071?"
CAP finds that it would take 45 years to close the gender wage gap between men and women. That means some of your favorite celebrities, like Zendaya, would be in their 70s by the time U.S. women are paid the same as men.
How old will you be in 2071? #EqualPayDay
America's reliance on oil has created a self-inflicted affordability crisis. The solution? Investing in clean energy.
An informational graphic with a textured, crumpled paper background promoting a "No Kings Day" protest. At the top, bold white text on a black rectangular brushstroke reads, "THE NEXT NO KINGS DAY IS MARCH 28." Below this, a central illustration features a black crown with a large red "X" struck through it, flanked by two black megaphones pointed toward the center. The main body of the image contains large, bold black text stating: "Nonviolent protest is our power to make change." Underneath, smaller text reads: "If just 3.5% of the population stands together, it can force a government's hand." "When we band together peacefully, we are impossible to ignore." At the bottom left, a source citation notes: "Source: CAP, 'How Peaceful Protest by Just 3.5 Percent of Americans Could Force Major Policy Changes From the Trump Administration' (2025)." The bottom right corner features the logo for the Center for American Progress.

History shows that when just 3.5% of a population—about 12 million Americans—raise their voices in peaceful protest, their demands become impossible to ignore. https://ampr.gs/4sXDzMS
The SAVE Act would require Americans to drive, fly, or even take a ferry to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Alaskan Senator Murkowski

President Trump said the quiet part out loud. The SAVE Act that Trump is pushing will deny millions of Americans their right to vote.
President Trump bragged about how much money the U.S. is making off of his war with Iran. But oil & gas companies are the ones cashing in–not Americans struggling to afford gas. Here’s what his administration should do instead @americanprogress.bsky.social: www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...
For decades, "competitiveness" has been a foundation of U.S. policymaking—a zero-sum race to dominate others.
What if "beating China" isn't the point? What if the goal is… supporting American workers and protecting the environment? Our report, but first a 🧵

The Trump administration promised to improve Americans health but its doing the opposite by removing lifesaving protections, exposing Americans to more toxic pollution and harmful chemicals, all to boost coal and chemical industry and Big Oil profits: www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...
Pollution from coal power plants has soared thanks to Trump administration policies that put corporate interests ahead of Americans’ lives and health. This stark reversal of long-term progress on air quality will cause cancer, asthma attacks and other health problems: www.eenews.net/articles/air...
A line chart from the Center for American Progress shows that crude oil futures have increased 41 percent in the nine days since Operation Epic Fury began, which outpaces similar price increases following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and other recent conflicts.
This reckless war on Iran has raised energy prices like no other. It's outpacing even Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
A graphic juxtaposing a social media post with a news headline. A screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) dated March 8, 2026. The text reads: "Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY! President DJT" The phrase "a very small price to pay for U.S.A." is highlighted in yellow. Below it, a screenshot of a New York Times headline that reads: "Oil Prices Spike Over $110 a Barrel, Highest Since Pandemic. The jump was a sign of growing concern that the war in the Middle East will take a toll on energy supplies." The words "Oil Prices Spike" are highlighted in yellow. The background is a photograph of people pumping fuel into their cars at a gas station. Sources: Truth Social, The New York Times (2026), and Getty Images. The Center for American Progress logo is in the bottom right corner.
President Trump's war of choice in Iran is already costing the American people. As this conflict continues—possibly for weeks—people will see their fuel and electricity costs spike even more.
A "BREAKING" news graphic from the Center for American Progress titled, "In just the past few days, we’ve seen 3 of the top 10 largest single-day increases in average diesel prices going back to 2005." A table lists ten dates, the average diesel price, and the daily increase in cents. Three dates from March 2026 are highlighted with yellow circles: March 3, 2026: $3.985 (+ 13.70¢) March 4, 2026: $4.107 (+ 12.20¢) March 2, 2026: $3.848 (+ 10.80¢) Other dates on the list include several from March 2022, one from September 2013, and one from February 2005. The largest increase shown is 22.20¢ on March 4, 2022. The source is cited as @GasBuddyGuy on X, dated March 5, 2026.
Americans are already bearing the costs of Trump's war of choice in Iran. ⛽ 📈
Infographic featuring a silhouette of an oil pump jack at sunset. Text attributes global supply halts in the Strait of Hormuz to the Trump administration’s attack on Iran, stating this will increase fuel, electricity, and food costs for American families struggling with affordability.
American taxpayers foot the bill for the Trump administration's needless war with Iran. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-case-against...
It's common sense: all of us deserve to be protected from chemical disasters. But Trump's EPA plans to roll back the Risk Management Program (RMP) putting corporate polluters ahead of its obligation to protect workers & families. Let them know enough is enough. Register at https://bit.ly/RMPhearing
ALERT-TRUMP BETRAYS AMERICANS AGAIN: The Trump admin has shown us again that it doesn't value people's health or lives. They've proposed guting safeguards that protect communities from chemical accidents-all to boost chemical company profits @stoptoxics.bsky.social: capitalbnews.org/epa-safety-r...
Rep. James Talarico on democracy: "Our goal should be better government and better policies for the people.” 👏
A split-screen graphic. Left side: Two large bombs on an aircraft carrier with the text "War is costly." Right side: Gallons of milk on a grocery shelf stating that four days of "Operation Epic Fury" could fund SNAP benefits for 2 million Americans for a year.
President Trump has done what he promised not to do—start a new overseas conflict—and it's already costing the American taxpayer over $5 billion.
The administration and the EPA have devalued human lives and threatened Americans' health, at the same time the administration and HHS make it harder for Americans to afford health care.
Suzie Wiles needs some help thinking of ideas to lower gas prices. Any suggestions? How about:
• Don't bomb Iran.
• Restore fuel economy standards.
• Offer rebates to people who want an EV but can't yet afford one.
The Trump administration's actions make it crystal clear that it does not value Americans' health or lives. "They’re gutting protections for the air we breathe, the water we drink and the future we promised our children." @earthjustice.org @nrdc.org @sierraclub.org www.newsweek.com/trump-doesnt...
CAP expert Frank Kendall explains why President Trump's unlawful attack on Iran is a gamble.
