🔊 "The SPEED Act will only result in an abundance of contaminated air and water, dirty projects and chronic illnesses, with fewer opportunities to hold polluters accountable in court." More on why the SPEED Act is so dangerous 👇 apnews.com/article/nepa...

The SPEED Act is up for a vote in the House tomorrow. This bill is astonishingly reckless and irresponsible, gutting a bedrock environmental law based on the false notion that it puts up unnecessary red tape, not crucial protections for our communities. earthjusticeaction.org/news/dont-le...

TOMORROW: The House is set to vote on a bill that would make it easier for mining companies to recklessly pollute and destroy our public lands. Write to your representatives TODAY and urge them to vote no on the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act! earthjusticeaction.org/stopdirtymin...

The PERMIT Act passed the House last week, but the fight's not over. Congress is trying to ram through a vote on the SPEED Act THIS WEEK, and we want them to know their constituents won't stand for it. Fight back against this dangerous bill today. earthjusticeaction.org/action/tell-...

While we were disappointed to see the dangerous PERMIT Act pass the House yesterday, we're grateful for members like @jayapal.house.gov pushing back against the bill and standing up for the Clean Water Act.

TOMORROW: The House will vote on the first of two bad bills that would eviscerate our bedrock environmental laws and put our clean air, clean water, and communities at risk. Write a letter today and tell them to vote NO on the SPEED and PERMIT Acts: earthjusticeaction.org/action/tell-...

In the past year, Congress has waged unprecedented attacks on our climate, environmental protections, and the rule of law itself. But we're built for this fight. This #GivingTuesday, join us and have your gift matched $1:$1. act.earthjusticeaction.org/a/donate?ms=...

Thanks to @cantwell.senate.gov and @gallego.senate.gov for supporting our wild forests by cosponsoring the #RoadlessAreaConservationAct. Our roadless forests protect wildlife, provide clean water and are great for hiking, camping, climbing and more. #SaveRoadless

As Congress considers permitting reform proposals, we need your help to ensure they aren't putting our bedrock environmental laws on the chopping block. Act now and demand permitting reform that puts people over polluters: earthjusticeaction.org/action/fight...

Last night, the House overturned Biden-era protections that safeguarded millions of acres of the Western Arctic and Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil and gas drilling. We will continue fighting for some of the last truly wild places in the country. earthjusticeaction.org/news/congres...

The EPA's Office of Research and Development has been responsible for some of the greatest advances in our understanding of the relationship between pollution and disease. Administrator Zeldin's continued dismantling of ORD puts all that and more at risk. earthjusticeaction.org/news/epa-put...

The shutdown is over, but the damage remains. Here are four ways Republicans have harmed the environment since October 1, even as House Republicans gave themselves an extended seven-week vacation.

Rising asthma rates, soaring energy costs, and worsening air quality. These are just some of the ways Trump's so-called "energy emergency" is making life harder for local communities by forcing outdated coal plants to stay open. coloradonewsline.com/2025/10/28/t...

How are Senate Republicans spending their time during the shutdown? By overturning key protections limiting oil and gas drilling in the Arctic. Read why our team is calling this decision "shameful": abcnews.go.com/US/senate-vo...

As of today, the government shutdown is the longest in U.S. history. While thousands of Americans struggle, Republicans are: -Confirming anti-environmental judges -Greenlighting projects that exclusively help polluting industries -Using arcane procedures to overturn protections on our public lands

We submitted comments to the EPA opposing the proposed repeal of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, which provides important data on how pollution impacts local communities. The climate crisis is a public health crisis; eliminating this would further both. earthjusticeaction.org/news/groups-...

Everyday Americans are struggling to make ends meet during the Republican-caused government shutdown. However, the Trump administration continues to prioritize handouts for polluting industries, all to meet a sham "energy emergency." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/c...

The Republican playbook as of late: 1) Sell out public lands by passing Trump's big, ugly budget bill. 2) Cause a government shutdown. 3) Use antiquated legislative procedures to put even more public lands at risk. 4) Do all of this instead of prioritizing funding the government.

Thank you @rephuffman.bsky.social and @repyassansari.bsky.social for demanding answers from federal agencies on why they've continued non-essential services that help industries like oil and coal while furloughing essential services and thousands of employees. earthjusticeaction.org/news/earthju...

This is now the second-longest government shutdown in modern history. Help us hold Republican leadership accountable for putting people's health and livelihoods at risk.

"If lawmakers are serious about protecting forests and communities from dangerous wildfires, this bill isn’t the solution." Read our statement on the dangerous Fix Our Forests Act passing out of committee yesterday 👇 earthjusticeaction.org/news/earthju...

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.

Two of these nominees, Meredith and Mercer, could be up for a final vote as early as next week! Call your senators TODAY and encourage they vote NO on them, as well as Dunlap and Tung.

Write to your members of Congress TODAY and tell them to vote NO on the Fix Our Forests Act. It would undermine forests and endangered species protections, harm drinking water, and worsen deadly wildfires. Don't let them and Trump give industry a handout. earthjusticeaction.org/action/this-...

New border wall construction waivers from the Dept. of Homeland Security disregard virtually all laws governing contracting and procurement. This unprecedented action opens the door to shady backroom deals and puts border communities and ecosystems at risk. earthjusticeaction.org/news/earthju...

Even causing a government shutdown won't stop Republicans from giving handouts to oil, gas, coal, and mining interests. This latest move by the Senate makes it clear that Republican priorities lie with their favored industries, not the people. earthjusticeaction.org/news/earthju...

Trump's big, bad budget bill is already proving devastating for local communities. Forcing Hopi officials to choose who does or doesn't get power — all so Republicans can pay for tax cuts for billionaires — is unconscionable.

First, Trump and Republicans in Congress cause a government shutdown. Next, Trump targets Democratic states in a blatant act of political retaliation meant to deprive those that live there of low energy costs, good-paying jobs, and more. It's unacceptable. earthjusticeaction.org/news/earthju...

Trump forced this shutdown, but we can still prevent the worst of its effects from taking hold. While our team is on the ground on Capitol Hill, we need you to make members of Congress listen to those who matter most: their constituents. Take action now. earthjusticeaction.org/action/deman...

My newest expert's blog for @earthjusticeaction.bsky.social Congress is once again trying to sacrifice our public lands to give handouts to industry. The Mining Regulatory Clarity Act would sell out our environment, health, cultural resources, & cherished lands, all to benefit mining companies.

From possibly influencing the repeal of the endangerment finding to other potentially shady business practices, the fossil fuel industry is constantly trying to put its profits over people. (1/2)

ICYMI: Join us tomorrow! Even if you can’t make it, you’ll still receive a recording of the event if you RSVP 🤩

The rollback of the 2009 endangerment finding ignores decades of proven science that greenhouse gas emissions harm public health. @velazquez.house.gov & I led a letter with our New York colleagues today demanding EPA put the health and safety of our communities first—not the profits of Big Oil.

Earthjustice President @abbiedillen.bsky.social delivered over 54,600 letters from our supporters demanding that the EPA honor their responsibly to address climate change and uphold the endangerment finding. Make your voice heard by September 22nd: earthjustice.org/action/dont-...

There are several bills in Congress right now that would invest in clean energy, protect the health and rights of our communities, and protect iconic wild spaces. As legislators return to the Hill this week, our team will be working tirelessly to help turn these bills into laws. 🌎

Encouraging news: ‪a group of Congressional leaders have urged the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to reject BP’s proposal for the Kaskida deepwater drilling project. ​ ​ Kaskida would be in even deeper, even riskier waters than Deepwater Horizon, which caused the worst oil spill in history.

ICYMI: Our environment and public health are already under attack by policies passed in the big, ugly bill. Here are just a few of the ways the Trump administration's agenda is harming the planet.

🔊 "Children’s health isn’t a political bargaining chip. If this administration won’t stand up to corporate interests over human lives, we will." Trump is calling industry handouts "health initiatives." We and our partners at Earthjustice see right through it: earthjustice.org/experts/ranj...
