Data centers are driving up our energy costs.

Solar, wind and batteries can get electricity onto the grid fastest and at the lowest cost, so today’s agreement is a good first step, because we need tech companies to pay their fair share.

But we also need Trump’s War on Clean Energy to end.

One year into Trump’s second term, and it’s a full-on assault on climate and clean energy. This Admin is threatening our planet, our economy, and our national security—and the pocketbooks of real Americans. It’s time for action—because our future depends on it!

Trump's energy policies have led to skyrocketing electric bills for families across New Jersey.

Meanwhile, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are ready to act on solutions that generate more sources of renewable energy and lower costs.

Big Oil is fueling the climate crisis, and they’ve known for nearly 60 years.

They’ve been burying the truth and spreading disinformation to make a profit.

"The agency [EPA] will now only consider the costs to businesses of complying with pollution standards."

This administration makes it abundantly clear every single day that they have zero regard for the health and well-being of the American people.

One year in, President Trump has broken his promises to cut energy bills in half, with families instead facing skyrocketing energy costs.

Today, @houseseec.bsky.social members called out how Trump's ban on clean energy and climate progress is increasing costs and hurting everyday families.

Trump’s EPA is now ONLY considering the costs to corporations when setting air pollution rules, not how many lives could be saved.

He does not care if you live or die — if it means his billionaire buddies can save a buck. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

Tailpipe emissions standards save American families hundreds of dollars each year while also reducing air toxins and climate pollution.

They are a win-win for all of us.

Trump proves once again he is on the side of billionaire polluters who don't care if our lives get worse so long as they profit.

With the new USPS rule, mail-in ballots are now postmarked when a sorting machine processes them—not when you drop them off. This could mean the difference between your vote counting or not.

The Roadless Rule -- which limits clear-cutting and roadbuilding in America’s last remaining pristine forests -- turns 25 today! I've fought for the Rule since 2001 because Washingtonians depend on our 2 million acres to safeguard clean drinking water sources and our $25+billion outdoor rec economy.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Roadless Rule. For a quarter century, it’s helped protect places like the Gila, keeping our national forests intact for hunters, anglers, families, and local communities. Public lands belong to all of us, and this rule helps keep them that way.

The Trump administration cares more about the profits of corporations and billionaires who pollute our air than the health of Americans. Trump’s decision to gut EPA’s clean air protections directly counters its own mission.

For decades, the EPA has done one basic thing when setting clean air rules: weigh the costs to industry against the public health benefits to real people, including fewer asthma attacks, fewer hospital visits, and fewer Americans dying prematurely.

America’s Roadless Rule turns 25 today. For a quarter of a century, this effective & widely supported conservation policy has served the American people by protecting 58 million acres of pristine national forestland. We must allow these forests to remain wild and free.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Roadless Rule, a critical protection against exploitation and development on almost 60 million acres of American forests. 🌲

But the Trump administration is trying to repeal it.
