Inspiring week in Rio de Janeiro at the #COP30 Local Leaders Forum where US mayors, governors, and businesses showcased how we are still in the climate fight by lowering emissions, cutting energy costs, strengthening resilience, and creating jobs— no matter what happens in DC.

⚡️Most consumers will see their electricity bills climb even higher. New research from @americanprogress.bsky.social and @nrdc.org finds that 65% of electric utility customers across 49 states + DC face rising rates within two years 💸. www.americanprogress.org/article/resi...

Agradecida de ser nombrada en esa lista de 100 Latinos comprometidos con la accion climática. Me queda claro que hay miles de cebrebros y corazones más que luchan todos los días. Gracias a esta gran comunidad. Seguimos uniendo esfuerzos. efeverde.com/100-latinos-...

Los demócratas quieren proteger los créditos fiscales que reducen ⬇️ los costos de los seguros de salud 💊 🩺 para las familias.

In just the past year, electricity prices have jumped more than twice the rate of inflation—and this is only the beginning. The Trump administration should be protecting our wallets, not paying off his billionaire buddies.

NDCs 3.0 aren’t just numbers—they are insights into how countries plan to cut emissions, phase out fossil fuels, and adapt to climate impacts. Ambitious NDCs = safer communities, cleaner air, and stronger economies. Read more from our intl climate team: ➡️ www.americanprogress.org/article/nati...

The Trump administration has taken actions that would eliminate existing protections from about 88 million acres of public lands. Including the removal of wildlife habitat protections, the total impact of the rollbacks stretches across more than 175 million acres of U.S. land.

The OBBBA will nearly triple ICE’s budget with this infusion of additional funding while taking away valuable support for vulnerable populations. www.americanprogress.org/article/cong...

With the increased frequency and intensity of climate change-driven extreme heat and cold events, Americans can no longer rely on natural gas and coal. Learn more: www.americanprogress.org/article/clea...

Working people are being poisoned while billionaires are getting richer—make that make sense.

Have you noticed your electricity bill rate has gone up? 📈💡 If so, you're not alone–nearly half of the nation’s electricity customers may be impacted by increased rates going into effect this year and next. Find out if you’re affected: www.americanprogress.org/article/resi...

Who is THIS keeping safe?

Extreme temperatures continue to threaten grid reliability and the health and safety of families. Americans can't rely on fossil fuel-fired power plants vulnerable to temperature-induced power outages... www.americanprogress.org/article/clea...

I’m in New York for UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ special address on climate. He has a hopeful story amidst the chaos and loss of climate disaster. Stick with me to follow his speech, and check out the report his comments are based on! www.un.org/en/climatech...

"The move to dismiss longtime public servants could also dissuade a new generation. I fear we will lose talent, now and in the future, and that this is a feature, not a bug, in the Trump White House plan,” said Colón, who leads international climate at @americanprogress.bsky.social.

NEW @americanprogress.bsky.social piece by me & my colleague @codyhankerson.bsky.social to highlight the dangers of cutting jobs, budgets, & research for NOAA and NWS, as climate disasters like the TX floods are getting more frequent, intense, & catastrophic: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

The Trump administration is threatening to sell off YOUR public lands to the highest bidder, putting special places, local economies, and vacation plans in jeopardy. Read more here: www.americanprogress.org/article/see-...

Excellent thread by @bobkopp.net documenting the dismantling of climate research in the US. We are less safe, the world is less safe.

THREAD 🧵Here’s what you need to know about the current state of Senate Republicans’ plan to sell off millions of acres of America’s public lands (1/6)

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act is one big blow to the nation’s energy system. 📉 Hundreds of gigawatts of clean energy that could be added to the nation’s grid are at risk of being stripped to boost profits for corporate polluters. We explain here. ⬇️ www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

After reports that the Pentagon has deployed Marines to Los Angeles on Monday to respond to immigration protests, @neeratanden.bsky.social, president and CEO of CAP, issued the following statement: www.americanprogress.org/press/statem...

Why even bother with long-run economic change & industrial policy if you don't get the chance to see it through? Biden went all in on economic change, giving other progressives confidence to back things like industrial policy. But after the Democrats loss many are questioning whether it's worth it?

🚨 Billionaire tax breaks at the expense of Americans’ health: The Trump administration’s plan to eviscerate clean air protections could cause 100 million asthma attacks just as House Republicans seek to slash clean energy and health care. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Republicans are planning to blow up Senate rules this week in order to deliver in a win for the oil industry, but they could leave every other industry exposed in a big way.

Ready for your gas prices to go up? House Republicans are proposing to end almost all federal clean energy investments, which will drive up the cost of gas and line the pockets of Big Oil execs.

A majority of registered voters (55%) said federal agencies should increase their efforts to protect people from health problems related to global warming. @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications...

"The parallel is not only the administration’s effort to destroy and suppress knowledge, but also the institution’s willingness to accept the cultivated irrelevance of it—a challenge that undermines any effort to conduct research, inform policy, or guide public institutions." @alondra.bsky.social

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3 www.science.org/content/arti...

“If successful, this loss will be a nightmare scenario for climate science, not just in the United States, but the world. It will also likely spell the end of our ability to continuously update the Keeling Curve.” www.wired.com/story/how-th...

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is an independent agency that sets the standards for nuclear power plants, radioactive waste, medical isotopes, and more. Now: "there are no independent agencies," says Russell Vought, director of OMB. www.npr.org/2025/05/09/n...

Can’t manage what you can’t measure.

If passed, Trump’s tax bill would give the oil industry free reign over almost 300 million acres - an area larger than TX & CA combined - of public lands and waters for drilling through its first rounds of mandated lease sales alone. www.americanprogress.org/article/cong...

Despite the fact that Americans are worried about the cost of living, the Congressional Republicans’ reconciliation plan will: ❌ Raise the cost of housing and transportation ❌ Increase healthcare costs and reduce access ❌ Drive up food costs www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Trump’s solution to the housing crisis—selling off public lands—is little more than a Trojan horse for a fringe agenda. @americanprogress.bsky.social Drew McConville explains for @thehill.com : thehill.com/opinion/ener...

This is how you destroy American competitiveness and set us back an entire generation. And it has only been 100 days.

The news we need.

NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social: The Trump administration intends to point to their ‘mine-everywhere’ order as an excuse to sell off and sell out U.S. public lands. www.americanprogress.org/article/insi...
