Trump is spending your taxpayer dollars on vanity projects for himself instead of making lives better for working people. Proud to join @naturalresources.bsky.social in calling for a hearing about the waste of taxpayer spending on the ballroom, arch, and other dumb projects.

Happy Earth Day! Trump and Republicans spent the last year selling off your public lands, your clean air, and your clean water to billionaires and Big Oil. And every one of those decisions ended with higher costs for you. We're fighting back because you deserve better.

The Trump administration is gutting the U.S. Forest Service. Closing research stations and offices and relocating families to Utah with no plan. And they're doing it heading into fire season after Trump's DOGE already fired workers. You can count on me to fight this in D.C.

Tell me again how caring about this planet is radical. Clean air will win. Clean water will win. Our public lands will win. Science will win. Kindness will win. Hope will win. We will win.

This is terrible and unnecessary. Along with @naturalresources.bsky.social I will pursue every legislative avenue to reverse this decision.

Trump is doing Big Oil’s bidding yet again – and this time he's calling it "national security." His minions voted to let oil and gas companies ignore protections for endangered species when they drill in the Gulf of Mexico. And Gulf communities are going to pay the price for this corruption.

BREAKING: The Trump administration just voted to let Big Oil ignore every endangered species protection in the Gulf of Mexico. In a single meeting, Trump's corrupt cabinet gave oil companies a free pass to kill endangered whales & sea turtles so they can drill without limits. 🧵

Donald Trump Jr. bought into a company. Three months later, his dad's Pentagon handed them $620 million in taxpayer dollars. Democrats forced a vote to subpoena Don Jr. today to come clean about this shady deal. But Republicans blocked it and even shut down the hearing to protect him.

We banned lead from gasoline. From paint. From children's toys. Republicans just voted to keep it in our wildlife refuges, killing bald eagles and over 130 species, because the gun lobby told them to. @rephuffman.bsky.social: Our public lands belong to the American people, not the NRA.

BREAKING: The Trump administration approved BP's $5 billion ultra-deepwater drilling project in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the same company responsible for the Deepwater Horizon disaster that killed 11 workers and dumped over 3 million barrels of oil into the Gulf. 🧵

Unbelievable. Trump started an illegal war with Iran that's driving up gas prices. Now he's using that crisis to ram through an offshore pipeline California already rejected. Yet another massive handout for his Big Oil buddies.

Americans are struggling to afford groceries and rent while Trump wants to build a golden vanity arch taller than the Lincoln Memorial.

RM @rephuffman.bsky.social: "This is not Pyongyang. We have laws, policies and procedures. That's how… “ 1/

Americans are already drowning in bills. Trump wants to make that even worse, locking us into dirtier air, higher energy costs, and billions in new medical expenses. All so a handful of Big Oil CEOs who funded his campaign keep getting richer off your paycheck.

🚨 Republicans just gave Big Tech a MASSIVE handout. @rephuffman.bsky.social: Meta and Amazon want to run cables through our Marine Sanctuaries for free, trample over all the marine life, and silence communities who depend on these waters. And Republicans are all too willing to please.

Tribal citizens are being grabbed off the streets by Trump's masked ICE agents. Held for days or weeks while their family has no idea where they are. A Republican's response? "There will be mistakes." @rephuffman.bsky.social wasn't having it 👇

Removing a sign doesn't change what happened. It tells us what you're afraid people will learn. Authoritarian governments that erased inconvenient history used to be something we fought against abroad. But now, the Trump administration is making sure we become one.

[email protected]: "You want to put his name on coins and buildings and park passes. You want to penalize people who cover up this shrine to Donald Trump. We take an oath to the Constitution. It seems all of you took an oath to Donald Trump."

[email protected]: "Is this an American mining company? It's not. It's a Chilean company. And where does that copper end up? On a boat to China."

Our national parks. Our public lands. Our coastlines. Our clean air and water. Our clean energy future. A year into Trump's second term and this corrupt Republican Congress, all of it is under attack, all so billionaires and Big Oil can get even richer.

🔥 @fernandez.house.gov: "Trump says it's 'psychologically important' for HIM to own Greenland. Not for the nation—for him. And he won't rule out using nuclear force to get it. Congress can stop this."

House Republicans finally finished turning the U.S. Congress into the American Duma. Two bills passed unanimously — every Republican voted yes — and today, they killed their own bills because Trump threw a tantrum. Doormats. Every single one of them. @rephuffman.bsky.social on the floor 👇

Compensation for wildland firefighters dying from exposure is long overdue. But it's not enough to pay families after the damage is done. We need masks, research, and real protections on the frontlines. Democrats will keep fighting until these heroes get the care they deserve.

House Republicans used their final day to pass handouts to polluters, foreign mining companies, and the NRA. Everyone else? A lump of coal.

What if you couldn't stop a pipeline, even after proving it would poison your water? Republicans named this bill the "SPEED Act" and they are absolutely counting on you not reading it. Here's what they’re not telling you (a 🧵)

I was just at a @naturalresources.bsky.social hearing on my bill that identifies best practices for efficient and environmentally responsible geothermal permitting. Attacks on clean energy are costing Americans, killing hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs, and intensifying the climate crisis.

GOP priorities: ✅ Investigate nonprofits for winning lawsuits fair and square to protect public lands. ✅ Ignore American oil companies colluding with foreign cartels to jack up gas prices. Make it make sense.

Glorifying himself. This is what dictators do.

On Native American Heritage Day, Democrats are fighting to uplift Native voices, work to advance their priorities, and defend tribal sovereignty against those who seek to undermine it. We will never stop standing with Tribal nations.

President Trump is actively making your life more expensive. Americans need cheaper energy and lower costs. But all he's done is wage a war on clean energy that would actually make that happen. @rephuffman.bsky.social: "I've been taking notes... Just remember, you started it."

This is exactly it. All Trump and the GOP have done is KILL clean energy projects left and right to cut deals for their polluter buddies. To actually have real negotiations on permitting reform, they must first stop their war on clean energy.

Americans deserve better. Definitely better than whatever House Republicans are cooking up for their billionaire buddies. We deserve clean, reliable energy, good-paying jobs & affordable healthcare. Democrats won't sacrifice our health, environment, or livelihoods for polluter profits.

The Republican shutdown is over, but millions are still struggling to afford healthcare and food. House Republicans' first priority? NOT helping hardworking Americans, but jamming through more favors for billionaire polluters.

Families are waiting in food bank lines. Millions of federal workers are either furloughed or working without paychecks. And *this* is what y'all are focused on? Throwing Gatsby themed parties, building ballrooms, and handing out favors for your billionaire buddies? Shame.

Republicans shamelessly voted for this mess. Will they finally speak up now that Trump wants to drill off their own coasts? Or will they stay silent while our coasts face the risks of oil slicks?

While millions of Americans go without a paycheck during the Republican shutdown, the Trump administration is working overtime to make sure Big Polluters don’t miss theirs.

Polluted waterways. Despoiled national monuments. The Trump administration just approved a copper mining expansion in Utah near Bears Ears without considering the impacts on local communities. This was a polluter giveaway in the middle of a government shutdown and they thought nobody would notice.

If they can do this to the White House, imagine what they’d do to Yosemite or the Lincoln Memorial.

Trump is using the Republican shutdown to give Big Oil exactly what it wants: drilling right off our beaches and coasts. Ranking Member @rephuffman.bsky.social: “This sneak attack on our coasts is the worst-case scenario we’ve warned about for years.” www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Trump's $300 MILLION ballroom is being paid for by corporations w/ active federal contracts and crypto firms tied to his allies. RM @rephuffman.bsky.social, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov RM Robert Garcia & @repyassansari.bsky.social are demanding EVERY record on these raging conflicts of interest.

Every day more Americans get notices they won’t be able to afford Republicans’ new health care rates, yet Trump is more focused on meddling in foreign imports, buying new private jets, and building a gilded ballroom. We're almost 4 weeks into the shutdown, and they're still nowhere to be seen.

Maybe literally anything else Americans are struggling with could be a priority? Cost of living? Health care? National security? Just a thought.

Donald Trump is demolishing part of the White House—the People’s House—to build his own grand ballroom and put his billionaire friends’ names all over it. @robertgarcia.house.gov, @repyassansari.bsky.social, and @naturalresources.bsky.social's @rephuffman.bsky.social are demanding answers.

They shut down the government, fired thousands of workers, and then tore down the East Wing to build Trump his palace. The only thing this White House serves is Trump’s ego.

While Americans go without paychecks or healthcare, Trump is demolishing the East Wing to build himself a private $250 million gilded ballroom funded by billionaires. 🚨🚨 Ranking Members @rephuffman.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social & @repyassansari.bsky.social are demanding FULL TRANSPARENCY.

TRUMP ADMIN ANNOUNCES NEXT PHASE IN WHITE HOUSE DEMOLITION. GILDED BALLROOM AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

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.

Alaska is now running one of the largest rescue missions in state history. This is where Republicans' climate denialism has gotten us: gutting life-saving grants that might’ve helped spare these villages and homes from catastrophic flooding.

Just last week, the Trump administration greenlit 13 million acres of new coal leases and canceled billions in clean energy projects. Americans deserve better than doubling down on 18th century technology while 21st century storms wash homes into the ocean.

The Trump Admin is using the government shutdown to cancel energy funding so that your utility bills go up. A Trump shutdown completely meant to enrich Billionaires! All at your expense.

Republicans forced a government shutdown. Now national parks across the country are closed, abandoned, and without rangers.
