Join us tonight: With GA PSC Commissioner Alicia Johnson, Florida Rep. Emily Gregory - who recently flipped a Republican-held seat in the heart of Trump country - and our Chair Michelle Deatrick. 6/11 7pm ET
Affordability is an environmental issue. Energy, insurance, housing, health care: climate change and pollution are driving costs up. Today, I'm joining GA PSC Commissioner Alicia Johnson & @FlaDemEnvCaucus' Pres. Judy Freiberg to talk about the issues and how to connect on them with voters. 6/11 · 7pm ET · Free RSVP: democratic-environmental-cau… ⬇️ More below

Coal can't compete on price. So Trump simply ordered the Pentagon to buy it anyway — plus $175M to prop up 6 aging plants. There's no such thing as "clean coal." And renewables are cheaper and cleaner. This isn't energy policy. It's a taxpayer-funded bailout for a dying industry. #Renewables #CleanEnergy washingtonpost.com/business/…

Wildfire season isn't coming — it's already here. And the Trump administration cut 16% of the Forest Service's workforce last year. Nearly 1.9 million acres have already burned in 2026, well above the 10-year average. And 62% of the country is in drought. The worst possible time to gut the people who protect our forests. #WildfireSeason #PublicLands thehill.com/homenews/adminis…

Oracle's profits jumped 27% — then it laid off up to 30,000 people, the largest cut in its history. The reason? To free up billions to build AI data centers that strain our power grid and water. A profitable company, trading workers for server farms. Source: usatoday.com/story/money/202…

People over profit. Always!
Iron County is already in a water crisis & just approved a new data center and a 1.5-gigawatt natural gas plant anyway. When did development become inevitable and people become an inconvenience? What will it take for this state to put community before profit?

💯! Thank you @UtahDemocrats!
If Adams were serious about protecting our communities, he would be calling for a full suspension & a transparent public review, not asking a celebrity investor to redraw the map and make stronger "commitments." Yet another classic case of our Republican supermajority operating unchecked. businessinsider.com/kevin-ol…

Michigan sued Big Oil for colluding to suppress EVs and clean energy for decades. Big Oil's response? File to dismiss — calling it "purely political." Exxon shelved the lithium-ion battery. Chevron bought EV battery patents to bury them. Oil companies abandoned solar — then used litigation to keep others out. This case could reshape how courts approach accountability for the delayed energy transition. insideclimatenews.org/news/1…

Your energy bill isn't rising by accident. Since March: Energy prices ⬆️ 7.8% | Gas ⬆️ 15.6% This is the risk when we stay hooked on oil. There is no shipping lane closure that can stop the sun from shining, the wind from blowing. Clean, affordable renewable energy is the answer. And Democrats are fighting for it. apnews.com/article/inflation…

A planned Bitcoin mining data center in Kentucky estimates that it will use as much power as 800,000 HOMES 😳 The fact that any company thinks that’s acceptable is truly astonishing – and just proves that all they care about is profits. fwwat.ch/4fQkvN3

Happy Pride Month to our LGBTQ friends and community! 🌈 The climate crisis hits LGBTQ communities harder — and those communities, especially trans people of color and those experiencing homelessness, often have fewer resources and less of a safety net to weather it. Environmental justice and LGBTQ justice are the same fight. 🏳️‍🌈

American families are subsidizing corporate electricity use. Industrial rates actually fell 2% from 2022–2024 — while your home bill keeps climbing. Enough is enough. End the corporate welfare.

NOAA's latest forecast: a "Super El Niño" — the strongest category — is the single most likely outcome for late 2026. It's arriving on top of a planet already overheated by fossil fuels. 96% chance it runs through winter 2026-27. Scientists say 2026 or 2027 — or both — will likely be Earth's hottest years on record. Heat. Wildfires. Floods. This is not a drill. 🔗 insideclimatenews.org/news/1…

Happy birthday, Rachel Carson. One scientist. One book. A nationwide ban on DDT. The creation of the EPA. A movement that changed the world. Silent Spring and Rachel Carson proved that speaking truth to power works. We're still fighting the same fight. 🔗 rachelcarson.org
