ABC News released before-and-after satellite images of the White House demolition.
If they can do this to the White House, imagine what they’d do to Yosemite or the Lincoln Memorial.
Americans are already drowning in bills.
Trump wants to make that even worse, locking us into dirtier air, higher energy costs, and billions in new medical expenses.
All so a handful of Big Oil CEOs who funded his campaign keep getting richer off your paycheck.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump has repealed the EPA’s authority to regulate climate pollution, terminating the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which determined that greenhouse gases are dangerous to public health under the Clean Air Act and underpinned limits on emissions from power plants, oil & gas, and vehicles.

🚨 Republicans just gave Big Tech a MASSIVE handout.
@rephuffman.bsky.social: Meta and Amazon want to run cables through our Marine Sanctuaries for free, trample over all the marine life, and silence communities who depend on these waters.
And Republicans are all too willing to please.

Tribal citizens are being grabbed off the streets by Trump's masked ICE agents. Held for days or weeks while their family has no idea where they are.
A Republican's response? "There will be mistakes."

Removing a sign doesn't change what happened. It tells us what you're afraid people will learn.
Authoritarian governments that erased inconvenient history used to be something we fought against abroad. But now, the Trump administration is making sure we become one.

A year into Trump's second term and this corrupt Republican Congress, all of it is under attack, all so billionaires and Big Oil can get even richer.

House Republicans finally finished turning the U.S. Congress into the American Duma. Two bills passed unanimously — every Republican voted yes — and today, they killed their own bills because Trump threw a tantrum.

Compensation for wildland firefighters dying from exposure is long overdue. But it's not enough to pay families after the damage is done.
We need masks, research, and real protections on the frontlines. Democrats will keep fighting until these heroes get the care they deserve.

Wildfire fighters will be eligible for a payment of nearly $450,000 and college tuition for their family if they die or become debilitated from a smoke-related cancer, under a law signed by President Trump on Thursday.
U.S. Will Pay $450,000 to Wildfire Fighters With Cancer
They will be eligible for a one-time payment as well as college tuition for their children. The effort is part of a legislative push to address the dangers of working in toxic smoke.

Republicans named this bill the "SPEED Act" and they are absolutely counting on you not reading it.

I was just at a @naturalresources.bsky.social hearing on my bill that identifies best practices for efficient and environmentally responsible geothermal permitting. Attacks on clean energy are costing Americans, killing hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs, and intensifying the climate crisis.

GOP priorities:
✅ Investigate nonprofits for winning lawsuits fair and square to protect public lands.
✅ Ignore American oil companies colluding with foreign cartels to jack up gas prices.
Make it make sense.

President Trump is actively making your life more expensive.
Americans need cheaper energy and lower costs. But all he's done is wage a war on clean energy that would actually make that happen.

This is exactly it. All Trump and the GOP have done is KILL clean energy projects left and right to cut deals for their polluter buddies.

Americans deserve better. Definitely better than whatever House Republicans are cooking up for their billionaire buddies.
We deserve clean, reliable energy, good-paying jobs & affordable healthcare. Democrats won't sacrifice our health, environment, or livelihoods for polluter profits.

While millions of Americans go without a paycheck during the Republican shutdown, the Trump administration is working overtime to make sure Big Polluters don’t miss theirs.
Polluted waterways. Despoiled national monuments.
The Trump administration just approved a copper mining expansion in Utah near Bears Ears without considering the impacts on local communities.
This was a polluter giveaway in the middle of a government shutdown and they thought nobody would notice.
