The megabill that undermines Medicaid also undermines a program that would make polluters pay for the methane they waste–something 70% of Americans support. These Big Oil handouts have to stop. We need to #CutMethane and put people over polluters: bit.ly/44GESa5

Doesn't add up and curiously is missing the Department of Defense which failed its 7th audit. 7th audit! Sounds like an area with rampant waste, fraud and abuse - and a DOGE target that will save American tax dollars. #AuditDOD

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Reducing methane isn’t just about climate impact — it’s about market competitiveness. U.S. LNG producers are cutting emissions to meet global standards, compete in international markets, and reach climate goals.

It’s up to the natural gas industry to reduce methane emissions, not the Trump Administration. They must compete internationally.

Climate-warming gas leaks must be fixed by utilities in a new proposed rule
Natural gas utilities likely will face stricter federal regulations for their climate-warming methane emissions. Among the biggest sources of leaks is the meter outside a gas customer's home.
