Just imagine what we could fund (schools! healthcare!) if we weren't subsidizing Big Oil and Gas and the destruction they cause.

Here are some inconvenient truths: 1⃣Climate change is real 2⃣Oil production has dropped under Pres. Trump 3⃣The GOP reconciliation package adds $4.5T to the national debt In the Natural Resources Committee, we're asking Republicans to work with us on an organized, long-term clean energy transition.

House Republicans are trying to sell off our public lands to give handouts to big oil. I’ll be voting no on that.

Yesterday, GOP leadership told their members *not to speak* during a 14-hour “debate” on their plan to sell off public lands to fund billionaire tax cuts. 🤫 They couldn’t defend it, they just voted for it. That’s not leadership.

I just discovered that the Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee traded stocks of oil and gas companies just as Republicans are about to pass a budget to benefit the very same companies. The corruption is astounding.

Yesterday, I revealed the Chair of the Natural Resources Committee is trading oil & gas stocks right as we're considering a budget with unprecedented handouts to those very same oil & gas companies. As Republicans try to profit off of the tax breaks they're giving to Big Oil, we're fighting back.

I came to Congress to steward our natural resources, have honest conversations even when we disagree, and uplift the voices of #MD03.

15 hours and nearly 100 amendments later, me and my Democratic colleagues continue to use every tool at our disposal to combat the Trump Administration's harmful policies – especially those that threaten the Chesapeake Bay and our state’s precious natural resources.

This week, in the House Natural Resources Committee, Oregon’s public lands are under attack. As the Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, I’m using every tool I’ve got to stop the GOP’s reckless push to sell off what belongs to all of us.

I’m using every single tool at my disposal to stop House Republicans’ Big Oil give away. Our children deserve better.

🧵 House Republicans are trying to gut our environmental protections. As Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee, I’m raising the alarm on the 5 worst climate provisions in their reckless budget reconciliation bill.

Today, Republicans are holding a yard sale for America’s backyard. They're jamming through some of the nastiest environmental laws ever seen to give tax cuts to billionaires. Why? Because they want to raise a billion dollars to pay for those tax cuts. youtube.com/shorts/UbLWw...

Then there was that time the Republicans didn’t stick around in committee for THEIR OWN reconciliation bill. We’re motioning to adjourn on this ridiculous bill. #DemsShowUp!

Everything about this Reconciliation bill in Natural Resources is a total lie. It’s bad for our: - Economy - Environment - Communities That’s why we’re prepared to sit here all day and fight it every step of the way.

We’re more than 8 hours into this Reconciliation markup in the House Natural Resources Committee and the GOP has completely stopped engaging on answering basic questions about their own bill. We have never seen anything like it. It’s going to be a long night.

In an effort to conceal their scheme to sell off our public lands, House Republicans were ordered by their leadership not to debate or even speak during our 13-hour committee proceeding.

We have a moral imperative to address climate change, which will have enormous impacts on the future we leave behind for our kids and beyond. Today, at the @naturalresources.bsky.social hearing, I spoke out on the GOP's giveaway to Big Oil, the most sweeping attack on our environment in history.

Today, Republicans are pushing the most extreme anti-environment bill in American history – betraying our public lands, clean air and water, and the American people in the process.

House Republicans’ budget cuts national park funding, slashes clean air and water protections, and pushes the most extreme anti-environment bill in American history as the cherry on top. Today, while Democrats called out this billionaire giveaway, House Republicans hid in their offices.

Coming this summer: Record-breaking heat and plenty of hurricanes. Forecasters are predicting higher temperatures across the U.S. and up to 10 hurricanes. Cutting federal programs could leave people even more vulnerable. grist.org/extreme-heat... #Disaster #Hurricane #Heat #Climate #Environment

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Happy #DeepDay! Today, we join @deepseaconserve.bsky.social in celebrating deep-sea science & knowledge - key to unlocking the mysteries of our planet’s largest, least explored ecosystem. Understanding the deep sea is essential for protecting ocean health and ensuring a thriving future on Earth.

States are championing effective, community-led ocean conservation. Under an administration that is rolling back environmental protections and funding, state leadership will be even more crucial. www.americanprogress.org/article/exec...

5-7 weeks puts us right into hurricane seasons, btw. What happens when there’s a storm but the shelves are already empty?

Trump radically remade the US food system in just 100 days. The people who grow and sell America's food no longer trust the USDA. We made a timeline to show you what happened. grist.org/food-and-agr... #Food #Trump #Chefs #Hunger #Agriculture #Farms #Farmers

🗣️ NEW PAPER ALERT! We teamed up with some of the best and brightest in the ocean conservation space to highlight success stories demonstrating the importance of state - and community-led efforts to provide a blueprint for nearshore protection & ocean progress www.americanprogress.org/article/near...

Lots of people on my feed are concerned about the destruction of NOAA by the Trump administration and Elon Musk, but much of what I’ve seen people post about is the national weather service. That’s vital, but NOAA does so much more than that! My latest, for @ucsusa.bsky.social 🧪🌎🦑🐠

Studies have shown that tiny pieces of plastic, which may originate from everyday products such as food packaging or plastic toys, can make bees more susceptible to bacteria and viruses. In turn, the microplastics can injure or even kill bees, and make pollination more difficult. wapo.st/3RDRRBO

UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days. We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.

David Attenborough’s new film focuses on the immensely destructive practice of bottom trawling. NZ is the last country bottom trawling the South Pacific. It must be stopped. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump’s mine-everywhere order calls for a list of public land with potential mineral deposits and prioritizing mining as the #1 use on those lands. The order threatens to cut off access to some of America’s most iconic places. Curious to learn more? www.americanprogress.org/article/insi...

In Tornado Alley, meteorologists say the Trump administration’s efforts could endanger the warning system residents rely on for safety. Reporting by Holly Bailey www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Fewer than four months in, the Trump administration has implemented about a third of the more than 300 policy objectives outlined in Project 2025. All of these actions have something in common: they’ve flowed directly from the executive branch of government. grist.org/accountabi...

Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America. And what we can all do to stop it. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBej...

There is no “historical myth” about birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment, affirmed by SCOTUS in 1898, is clear. Thank you, @hcrichardson.bsky.social for setting the record straight in light of 🍊🤡 deporting US citizen children. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

This is a story about deep sea mining, beautifully told. Mining something that takes millions of years to form. What could go wrong? Ehm…🛢️👀 Letting an industry with a terrible record on land do the same in the ocean where there’s way less oversight. What could go wrong? 🤔

Alright enough people asked for various sizes that we're going to do another run of these. ALL SIZES OPEN, when we hit 36 shirts we can send to the printer squidfacts.bigcartel.com/product/save...

I'll say this as many times as it needs to be said. Save our Freaks. Don't mine the Deep. (also maybe unfollow NOAA. They're a disinformation account at this point. Fuck.)

I’m not going to retweet that NOAA propaganda post about deep sea mining. Instead, I’ll tell you that I don’t know a single NOAA scientist who would promote deep sea mining in this way, because the available science we have does not justify exploitation of deep sea habitats for minerals.
