Republicans Sell Out America’s Most Beloved Wilderness to Foreign Mining Conglomerate | The House Committee on Natural Resources House Committee on Natural Resources - Democrats

@rephuffman.bsky.social on point! "What happened in the Senate today is a betrayal of Americans and one of our greatest wild places." Read the release democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/media/press-...

"Republicans sold out the Boundary Waters today. They sold out the families who fish there, the small businesses that live off the tourism, and the clean water that connects the entire system – all so Trump’s foreign billionaire buddy can mine our lands and ship the minerals overseas." -Rep Huffman

Revoking safeguards to #ProtectChaco breaks the trust of Tribal Nations & communities in New Mexico. @Interior’s reckless actions strip the sacred sites & cultural resources from the protection they need & deserve. #nmpol Submit a comment opposing this proposal eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...

Hey policy wonks 👀

This is a great breakdown of the Endangerment Finding and how it (doesn't directly) connect to methane pollution rules for oil and gas.

Give it a read or a listen!

Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of methane driving global heating Exclusive: Fixing a leak can be simple and equivalent to closing a coal power station, making lack of action maddening, say analysts

Methane polluters should be held to account. Instead, Republicans help them pollute. Fossil fuel money corrupts America.

Illinois to data centers: Bring your own renewables and skip the line Proposed legislation offers perks for data centers that invest in clean energy. A broad coalition supports the bill, but details still need to be hammered…

Largest rail union backs $85 billion Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger (The Center Square) – The nation’s largest rail labor union urged members of Congress to support a proposed $85 billion merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern that would create

Freight rail investment matters to Latines — from union jobs to cleaner air. @smartunionworks’ letter to Congress backing the UP-NS merger highlights strong job protections and the chance to move more freight by rail. A win for families and the environment. www.thecentersquare.com/national/art...

Thank you @heinrich.senate.gov for highligting signs in Native and Spanish languages slated for removal from public lands. 250 years from now they will persist. Indigenous languages are embedded in the places they were first uttered, they must endure alongside the canyons, mountains and cerros.

As our clocks spring forward, warmer weather is just around the corner.

Higher temperatures = more smog fueled by oil and gas air pollution.

We need strong methane safeguards and enforcement of robust rules to protect public health. #CutMethane

@gallego.senate.gov made it clear: access to public land in the public trust, and the persistence of Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument should be the priority of the next Bureau of and Management Director. Senate votes on confirming Steve Pearce Wednesday AM.

Can California Set Its Own Car Emissions Standards? Trump's Climate Reversal May Force the Issue Withdrawal of federal climate authority could ironically give California broader power to regulate emissions and sue oil companies.

Ending the federal Endangerment Finding will cost Californians billions at the pump and doctor's office and harm lives with dirtier air. Tell @CASenateDems @AssemblyDems vote "YES” on @robertgarcia4ca’s #AB1777 to save people money and #StopDieselDeath.

Melanie Stansbury and her colleagues for speaking out against efforts to erase history in our national parks, museums, and public lands.Removing truthful interpretations about slavery, climate change, Indigenous history, or LGBTQ+ communities doesn’t strengthen our country. It weakens our understanding of it.Our parks are not propaganda tools. They are places for truth, learning, and reflection, for generations to come.

Energy demand is higher than ever. So are electricity prices. Trump and Congressional Republicans’ war on clean energy is driving down supply and driving prices up further. Americans need to look no further than their own energy bills. We must say no to Trump’s #PollutersFirst agenda.

Today is #RefuseSingleUseDay.

Let’s be clear: the responsibility to "refuse" shouldn't rest on individuals—it must start in boardrooms and in policy. We cannot recycle our way out of this crisis.

Today, we demand that industries stop manufacturing toxic packaging.

#IZWM2026

Christmas came early for Big Oil's billionaires:

✅ Hamm loyalists placed inside the White House
✅ New permits to drill for oil & gas in WY
✅ Methane waste fee delayed
✅ Fuel efficiency standards for cars rolled back
✅ Wildlife protections weakened
✅ Expanded tax breaks for fossil fuel companies

✨GreenLatinos familia✨

2026 is here, and our Founding President & CEO Mark Magaña has some grounding words we hope will inspire and motivate us to create a more just and healthy future for our communities during this turbulent time. Let’s get to work juntos y unidos. ¡Adelante!
