BIG NEWS: We’re calling for a nationwide moratorium on new data centers. These facilities increase energy costs, consume huge amounts of water and expand dirty energy.

Trump and Congressional Republicans aren’t trying to hide it 😡 They want to jam through a spending bill they claim maintains current funding levels, but will claw back approved funds later through a sneaky process called rescissions – all while enacting their Project 2025 agenda. #TrumpsShutdown

Our research estimates that we need at least $64 billion in funding each year to guarantee access to safe and clean drinking water. The EPA’s current water funding levels are far below that, and are only getting worse under Trump. 😠

In the budget reconciliation bill, House Republicans are trying to cut SNAP by $295 billion. This would cut it in third in what would be by far the largest SNAP cut in history.
This would rip food assistance away from millions of people, including households with children as young as 7 years old.
