Extreme weather is here to haunt us. #ClimateChangeisScary, take action now: actonclimate.now/ExtremeWeather

Superstorm Sandy was an unimaginable nightmare when it first struck the northeast 13 years ago. But today, extreme weather events have only grown more devastating, more frequent, and tragically, more normal. It doesn’t have to be that way.

From extreme heat to wildfire smoke, #ClimateChangeisScary and it is worsening the effects of extreme weather on our daily lives. Without climate action, the problem will only get worse. actonclimate.now/ExtremeWeather

We can’t go back. From #SuperstormSandy to #HurricaneMelissa, extreme weather disasters have become too frequent due to climate change. We won’t stand by while the Trump administration jeopardizes our health and safety. #ActOnClimate.

On the 13th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, I remember the damage, destruction, the lives lost. I also remember a unified effort to aid survivors.   Natural disasters aren't going away. We must continue to invest in a FEMA truly suited to the needs of people and communities impacted.

"The warm waters that fueled its intensification were 500 to 700 times more likely as a result of climate change." Hurricane Melissa is being supercharged by abnormally warm ocean temperatures. This is not normal. This is what a climate crisis looks like.

Data centers are sucking up our energy and draining local water sources, haunting us with more climate pollution from fossil fuels. #ClimateChangeisScary, we need a clean energy future instead.

Climate change is warming oceans, intensifying storms like Hurricane Melissa, a category 5 which has become the strongest storm of the year. Climate change will continue to worsen hurricanes if we don't take action. #ExtremeWeatherWednesday www.cnn.com/weather/live...

Trump's EPA wants to leave us in the dark by eliminating the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. Without it, polluters can hide in the dark, spewing climate-wrecking pollution without accountability. #ClimateChangeisScary Tell the EPA to keep the GHGRP: actonclimate.now/GHGRP

#ClimateChangeisScary and extreme weather is becoming more destructive each year. Across the country, communities are facing devastating floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and other extreme weather disasters. Tell Congress we need urgent action on climate: actonclimate.now/ExtremeWeather

In May, Trump retired the billion dollar disaster database, which tracks the costs of extreme weather events. Now, @climatecentral.org is bringing it back, providing the public with critical information on the impacts of extreme weather. #ExtremeWeatherWednesday www.cnn.com/2025/10/22/c...

We the People are peacefully gathered in cities across the country in defense of our democracy, our freedoms, and our future. This is what true patriotism looks like. #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Coal is the most dangerous, polluting, and expensive way to produce power.​ Yet, the Trump administration announced it plans to open 13.1 million acres of public land to coal leasing and give away $625 million to subsidize coal-fired power plants.

We’re “stealing the moon” while Trump’s EPA is trying to steal our future by rolling back clean energy and climate protections.

"Five months before catastrophic floods swept through the Alaska Native village of Kipnuk on Sunday... the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant intended to protect the community from such extreme flooding." #ExtremeWeatherWednesday www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/c...

Over the past couple days, people across the US were hit with significant flooding and rainfall that has devastated communities and put many people under evacuation orders. Climate change continues to intensify extreme weather like this, and we hope that those affected stay safe.

Wildfire 🔥 smoke is a cardiovascular threat, not just a lung one. Climate change means more fires & more risk for our kids' hearts and lungs. Demand cleaner air now! Knowledge is power. Read up: ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

Join us this Saturday, October 18th to fight back against Trump's authoritarian takeover to say #NoKings! We deserve a government that protects Americans from the impacts of climate change, instead of handing out giveaways to billionaire allies. Join us: www.nokings.org#map @lcv.org @moveon.org

Coming soon to a national park near you: Polluted air and sweeping, beautiful views of coal mines. Thank you, President Trump!

A powerful nor’easter could bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to communities across the East Coast this weekend. Nor’easters can be destructive, deadly storms - and climate change is making the strongest of these storms even more intense. www.cnn.com/2025/10/10/w...

Earlier this month, farmers, ranchers, and producers from across the U.S. wrote a letter to Congress asking for help, leadership, and resources to defend against "climate fueled extreme weather events." American farms and those who tend to them deserve protections, not politics.

The Trump administration is attacking climate protections and driving up the cost of living all while handling out massive giveaways to billionaire allies. On October 18th, we'll mobilize together against corruption to say #NoKings! Find an event near you: www.nokings.org#map @lcv.org @moveon.org

Here Chris Wright, we fixed it for you:

Thank you to the @ossoff.senate.gov team for joining us last month at Comfort Farms to hear from farmers about how extreme weather and climate change have impacted Georgia's agriculture, and the importance of resilient conservation practices.

NEWS: The Trump Administration has canceled $8 billion in projects that were set to lower electricity costs for Americans and increase grid reliability. I led 163 House Democrats in demanding that these projects be immediately reinstated. casten.house.gov/media/press-...

The government may be closed for you but it is still very much open for billionaire CEOs and polluters

What are the impacts of the current US government shutdown on climate? One example is "Nearly 90% of the EPA’s staff are being furloughed." #ForaSafeClimate www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

We have seen too much of Trump weaponizing federal agencies. Congress cannot continue to let him abuse power, and must put people over polluters. American voters deserve fully funded agencies and personnel to meet the threat of climate change and extreme weather! #CanceltheCuts #ActOnClimate

The Trump administration is stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for clean energy projects in our state. We need to be lowering costs and investing in a clean energy future, not playing political games. www.opb.org/article/2025...

President Trump’s move to cut billions from energy and infrastructure projects is killing thousands of American construction jobs. It’s not just me saying it…here’s what lots of those workers have to say 🧵

"The Interior Department, which is furloughing thousands of workers, will keep processing permits for new oil and gas projects." #TrumpShutdown

New data centers built to power AI are exceeding available electricity, raising energy bills and risking blackouts. Major energy grid companies must require data centers in the region to supply the energy they need to operate, rather than shifting the burden onto families.

The latest step in Trump's Project 2025 is cancelling $7.5 billion in clean energy funds, including for a hydrogen hub in the OC. This is not only illegal, but will raise our energy prices. Like so many of Trump’s decisions, this is both evil and stupid.

This decision — which includes projects that would have created hundreds of jobs in our district — does nothing to address rising energy costs or strengthen American energy independence. www.dailynews.com/2025/10/02/t...

The life of a climate activist may not be as glamorous as the life of a showgirl, but we’ll still fight for climate with a broken heart! #ActonClimate #ClimateAction #TLOAS #taylorswift

Republicans’ decision to shut down the government instead of negotiating with Democrats is about as popular as last night’s DWTS vote. #DWTS #Shutdown

Companies that own power-hungry AI data centers need to fund clean energy production to meet skyrocketing electricity demands—not fossil fuels that risk blackouts and public health.

Extreme weather can harm not just our health, but our health systems. Seema Wadhwa from Net Positive Solutions shares stories of how wildfires and hurricanes have impacted hospitals and health facilities, putting our lives further at risk. #ExtremeWeatherWednesday

Trump and Republicans' shutdown is by design. The consequences of their actions won't hit them and their billionaire donors, they'll hit working families trying to make ends meet.

"Since 2012, U.S. coal plants have collectively lost about $14 billion.... Many of those losses were borne by residents and businesses through their electricity bills." Instead of cheaper clean energy, we're all forced to pay for the Trump administration's coal bailouts.

"Our families and communities are suffering while polluters enjoy generous taxpayer-funded handouts. Republicans need to get back to the table, end this shutdown, and do the people’s business as they were elected to do.” www.actonclimate.com/post/cac-rep...

As Republicans walk away from the negotiating table, they’re abandoning the future of our health, our climate, and our local economies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Our sympathies go out to the victims and their families of the devastating and deadly flash floods in Arizona this past weekend. Climate change is intensifying monsoon season in Arizona, bringing more risk of dangerous floods like these. www.cbsnews.com/news/arizona...

Flood insurance lapses, FEMA runs dry, communities left exposed—all because Trump and Republicans would rather shut down the government than do their jobs.

Highlighting how renewables can save energy and money, @RepDeluzio visited @CCAC's solar array. The youth attending shared their excitement about what clean energy means for their future and concerns about the consequences for their generation if we don't support climate action.

We are HOURS away from a Republican shutdown. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are here in Washington trying to get work done, but my radical Republican colleagues can’t even bother to show up.

Was Trump’s EPA administrator Lee Zeldin lying when he said climate change is real under oath during his confirmation hearings, or is he lying now?

This is like if your surgeon was afraid of blood and refused to use the words "tumor" or "infection" www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Thank you to @greenlatinos.org and @uprose.bsky.social for a great #ClimateWeek event last week! Environmental justice leaders joined together for a day of engaging panel discussions focused on energy and extreme weather. #ClimateCantWait

Although we all may describe the impacts of climate change differently, we can all agree that something should be done to protect our communities. Hear from Frank Sesno from @planetforward.org:
