Trump's EPA is trying to end the Clean Water Act once and for all. Their proposed Polluted Water Rule would be devastating for our environment and communities. They won’t be happy until bedrock environmental laws are nothing more than words on a page and they can pollute our waters with abandon.

The Clean Water Act was meant to protect all waters, but the EPA wants to weaken the law to let pollution flow freely into our rivers and lakes. We must demand stronger protections. Our communities depend on it! Tell Congress: NO MORE GIVEAWAYS TO POLLUTERS! #ProtectCleanWater

Some positive political news via @wcav.bsky.social “Today the FPB voted to adopt the Type Np rule. We will now have continuous, 75-foot buffers along the perennial, non-fish bearing streams in Western WA. Industry will no longer be able to clearcut straight to the streambank.”

Thank you for voting for the people and the environment this election! Across WA, we're seeing environmental champions defended. Ballots are still being counted, but we’re in a strong position - and it’s because people like you showed up to protect our progress. Read our Election Day reflection:

If you love our public lands, this hits you. Republicans shut down the government so Americans can’t see what they’re doing: firing over 2,000 park rangers and staff who protect our parks and wildlife so Big Oil can cash in when this is all over.

"The Trump administration is weaponizing the government shutdown to gut staffing, weaken environmental protections and normalize its ultimate goal of privatizing public lands. The alarm bells are loud, and our response must be louder." Now, more than ever, we must fight to save our public lands.

Despite a slower start to the season, more fires ignited across our landscapes this summer than last year, and more than 250,000 acres burned. We have to stay vigilant, that means restoring the funding we need to prevent these larger wildfires. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/10/13/w...

I joined @merkley.senate.gov during his historic marathon floor speech to call out Trump's assault on Congress's power of the purse.   It's a gross abuse of power and it's corruption, plain and simple.   I'll keep sounding the alarm on Trump's unconstitutional power grab.

SPOILER ALERT: Trump and Republicans in Congress are the reason why your bills are so high.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the First Peoples of this land—who have lived & stewarded ecosystems across the continent since time immemorial. One day isn’t enough, but it’s a moment to listen, learn & stand in solidarity with Tribal Nations + Indigenous communities. See below to learn more!

Must have missed the part where Make America Healthy Again meant letting polluters poison our communities with zero transparency or consequences

"Under Mr. Trump, Republicans have gone even further. They have become the party that stands in the way of lower energy prices for American households."

Trump just gutted $1 BILLION in funding for the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub, undermining our clean energy projects that would cut emissions from shipping, aviation, and heavy transport. This will kill good local jobs and stall our progress in fighting the climate crisis.

The Trump admin is pausing infrastructure projects to punish Congress. Pulling the plug on these projects will hurt jobs and raise your energy bills. Stop inflicting pain on working people. Fund the government. Fix the mounting health care crisis. Put working people first.

Our rights were never given; they were won. From the ballot box to the picket line, the people have always fought back. Oct 18: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. Find an event near you: www.nokings.org#map

Trump might have delivered the stupidest speech in UN history. Climate change? Apparently he’s never heard of it.. Or just chooses to ignore it.

Donald Trump is attacking thousands of jobs in Cowlitz, Spokane, Skagit, Lewis, and Whitman counties. Those are jobs for projects involving zero-emission commercial vehicles, lower industrial greenhouse gas emissions, affordable solar panel technologies, and more.

The Trump administration announced Wednesday night that it is revoking $7.6 billion in funding for clean-energy projects in 16 Democratic-leaning states, including a $1 billion cut to the Pacific Northwest’s multi-state hydrogen hub.

The Trump Administration’s politically motivated decision to strip funds from the pioneering Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub is unprecedented and corrupt. (1/3) www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Trump and Republicans have spent months driving up costs for families and gutting essential services. Now, their shutdown puts even more strain on our communities when we can least afford it. This isn’t an accident – it’s about Trump wanting to ignore the law. On Oct. 18 take action. #NoKings

"There is no law that allows a federal agency to cancel previously awarded grants during a government shutdown."

Cutting clean energy programs is going to raise energy costs for everyone, regardless of who they voted for. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Americans are already paying higher energy bills, and Trump just made it worse, wiping out $7.5B in 200+ clean energy projects—only in states that didn’t vote for him.

Make no mistake: This is a #TrumpShutdown. Trump and Republicans have complete control over the federal government and have chosen to steal billions of dollars from communities while giving handouts to billionaires. They own this shutdown and the damage that it does to our communities.

Trump and Republicans billionaire-first agenda has caused working families' energy, health, and grocery costs to skyrocket. Now, they're pushing us towards a government shutdown. Dems join impacted individuals to call the GOP out and urge them to negotiate with Dems to stop this #GOPShutdown 👇

The Department of Defense has delayed cleanup of PFAS “forever chemicals” at nearly 140 military installations by as much as a decade due to Trump’s funding cuts. The government’s job is to protect people, not polluters.

My plan to conserve 77,000 acres of structurally complex forests is the biggest forest conservation action in our state in a generation - and just the first step in a bold new future for Washington's forests. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/wa-l...

Thank you, @governorferguson.bsky.social! 🌲💚

I just submitted a public comment to save the Roadless Rule—a popular conservation policy that protects 58 million acres of public lands from extraction. Please join me. There's power in numbers and submitting a comment only takes a few minutes: p2a.co/P1NCuya

More than 200,000 Americans will die prematurely if just 12 of the 31 environmental protections the Trump administration plans to roll back are erased. This administration is Making America Sick Again. More from @americanprogress.bsky.social 👇

Despite Trump's best efforts to make it a partisan and divisive issue and force fossil fuel usage, Americans overwhelmingly support cheap, clean energy. This administration isn't even pretending to serve the American people — they serve the 1% and Big Oil CEOs.

ALMOST TIME! This weekend, people in over 90 countries will take to the streets to #DrawTheLine against injustice, fossil fuels and the billionaires that fund them. 💪 With 500+ events & counting, odds are good that you can find an action near you if you haven’t already: drawtheline.world

"If the Trump administration rescinds the Endangerment Finding, the government would effectively be saying greenhouse gas emissions don’t harm human health. But they do." This administration is taking a torch to our environment and planet in order to enrich Big Oil. More from us 👇

NEW: Washington’s Department of Natural Resources is setting aside more than 77,000 acres of forest lands in Western Washington for conservation, the largest such effort in a generation, according to Commissioner of Public Lands Dave Upthegrove.

🌲 BREAKING: WCAV applauds @daveupthegrovecpl.bsky.social for his decision to conserve 77,000 acres of older and mature state forestlands. WA voters chose him to chart a new course for our forests—and with this order, he delivers on his bold promise to protect our climate, communities & future.

Trump is Making America Unaffordable Again

In Trump’s day, the Lone Ranger saved the day. Today, in WA's Enchantments, 1 ranger for 900 miles just means chaos: trash, fires, closed trails, overflowing toilets. Thanks, Trump cuts. #NoLoneRangers www.seattletimes.com/life/outdoor...

Trump's EPA has drafted a plan that would end the federal government's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This is what America looked like before environmental protections. We can't go back.

This spring, Trump recklessly fired thousands of federal workers, gutting the #NationalParkService – the workforce that keeps our public lands safe and accessible, and helps prevent wildfires. Now, we’re being hit with the consequences of this decision right here at home:

"The 'endangerment finding' is the legal underpinning of a host of climate regulations under the Clean Air Act for motor vehicles, power plants and other pollution sources that are heating the planet." Trump's EPA is trying to give free rein to polluters to destroy our planet for profit.
