My statement on Trump's latest attack on Rhode Island offshore wind.

Trump promised to lower electricity prices and make life more affordable for Americans. Instead, our bills are higher than ever and Trump is focused entirely on giving handouts to his billionaire friends.

Thank you @whitehouse.senate.gov and @heinrich.senate.gov for leading the effort to defend cheap, clean energy and fight the Trump administration's latest reckless attacks on offshore wind 👏 www.epw.senate.gov/public/index...

This is President Donald ‘Stop Work’ Trump trying to keep affordable, clean energy off the grid, without a care about how many working people have to lose their jobs to keep his fossil fuel billionaires happy.

🚨 Trump has abruptly halted five offshore wind farms that were set to power more than 2.5 million homes and businesses. He is trying to ban clean energy in order to enrich his Big Oil friends and settle his own petty grievances. We will all pay the price in higher costs and a more polluted planet.

Billionaires backed by the Trump administration are trying to build a data center in Michigan that would jack up energy bills, pollute groundwater, and consume as much power as the entire city of Detroit. Data centers are stealing our resources AND making us foot the bill.

Trump is trying to erase Black history while simultaneously putting his name on everything

@seancasten.bsky.social excellent thread on climate and clean energy today does a great job debunking misguided calls to “support” oil and gas in the name of moderation. The center position is actually to embrace the solutions that bring down costs and are the fastest to deploy. 1/5

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

"The Arctic is the canary in the coal mine.” Meanwhile, Trump recently stripped critical protections across *all* 23 million acres of public lands in the Western Arctic for oil and gas development. We need our leaders and the American people to stand up and #StopTheArcticSellOff.

Thank you to @governor.ny.gov for repealing the outdated 100-Foot Rule — a major win for cleaner, cheaper energy. New Yorkers will no longer be forced to subsidize costly gas line expansions. Grateful to @lizkrueger.bsky.social & @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social for leading the way. buff.ly/JT9f80R

Enough is enough. @bennet.senate.gov and I are holding up the appropriations package to demand full funding for NCAR. Trump is attacking Colorado because we refuse to bend to his corrupt administration. As his rampage continues, we will pull every lever available to do what is right for Colorado.

Millions of Americans are struggling to afford their electricity, grocery, and healthcare bills while Trump builds a $400,000,000 ballroom for himself and his rich friends. Let that sink in.

"Republicans should focus on making life more affordable for Americans, not giving away more land. Not making those big int'l companies even richer." @fernandez.house.gov called out the MRCA as a giveaway to big foreign mining companies that lets polluters dump mine waste on our public lands 👇

Last night, Trump claimed the economy has never been better and the cost of living is down.   Electric bills are up 13% this year. Every major utility in Florida is increasing their rates in 2025 and 2026. Does he think we don't notice?

Right before the holidays, Republicans keep looking for sneaky ways to sell off our public lands and national parks – this time as an amendment to the Interior appropriations bill. We stopped them before, and we’re ready to do it again. OUR PUBLIC LANDS ARE NOT FOR SALE.

“It abandons transparency and accountability while ignoring the single biggest permitting problem facing the energy sector right now: the Trump admin’s all-out war against wind and solar.” @rephuffman.bsky.social called out Republicans’ SPEED Act that only serves to benefit fossil fuel execs 👇

"Even as costs rise, the federal government is offering states less money to help low-income residents pay for heat." Banning cheaper clean energy, raising energy costs, and cutting assistance to those who struggle to afford basic heating in the winter. Now that's a real A+++++ economy!

"We don’t need to weaken environmental protections to get cheaper, cleaner energy." @velazquez.house.gov was clear: what we really need are policies to speed up renewable energy deployment and hold polluters accountable. "That’s how we lower costs." 👏

It's hard to believe, but we're having the public lands sell-off fight all over again.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research is one of the world's leading climate research labs and is used in forecasting weather events and disasters around the U.S. Dismantling such an essential institution is an assault on science and truth, and a threat to the millions facing extreme weather.

"You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this." Americans all over the country, including in states like Montana, are sick and tired of Trump and MAGA Republicans' efforts to sell off our public lands. Public lands belong to us, not to polluters.

“Steve Pearce’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management is an insult to Colorado and anyone who cares about the lands that sustain our economy and Western way of life." Read my full statement on his nomination here:

Starting to notice a trend here 🤔

Any day now

"Already-initiated actions by the Trump administration would strip protections from nearly 88 million acres of public lands—the equivalent of 117 Yosemite national parks." Never before have our public lands been more at risk. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 and tell them to protect our public lands.

Starting to notice a trend here 🤔

"Trump and company’s assault on environmental norms is more shrill than confident. Because something else happened this year that gives at least some hope for the future: the remarkable rise in clean, renewable energy." @billmckibben.bsky.social Sorry, Trump, but clean energy is inevitable.

"These environmental rollbacks will only make our wealthiest polluters richer and our riverfront communities sicker." @repnellie.bsky.social was clear: the PERMIT Act undermines critical clean water protections that keep communities safe, all to benefit Big Polluters.

"The Trump administration is trying to make it the law that Americans don't deserve clean water. Already today, clean water protections have been defanged." @beyer.house.gov called out how House Republican's dirty water bill would roll back remaining clean water protections 👇

"Families already struggle with the costs of clean water. The PERMIT Act will exacerbate this reality & task our most vulnerable communities with bearing the increased costs of polluters." @scholten.house.gov led opposition & made clear: polluters should be held accountable instead 👏

This week, House Republicans passed THREE BILLS to raise your electricity costs and abandon cheap, clean energy. Once again, they have chosen to double down on failed policies that have increased electricity prices 13% nationwide since the beginning of Trump’s term.

🚨 GOOD NEWS: The Chandler City Council has rejected a costly and wasteful AI data center despite extensive lobbying from Big Tech. This is a big win for people and the planet over corporate interests and polluters!

We were thrilled to meet with and welcome Rep. Adelita Grijalva, who has hit the ground running in Congress fighting for Arizonan communities and our environment. We look forward to working together to protect our climate and democracy 👏

The Colorado River provides clean drinking water to an estimated 40 million people — but national monuments that help protect its watersheds are now under threat from the Trump Administration. Read more from @americanprogress.bsky.social 👇

It’s easy to feel like the sky is falling with all the bad climate and environmental news over the last year. But there’s reason for hope. We’re making progress lowering costs, building clean energy, and tackling climate change in states all across the country. More in our new report 👇

There are more than 640 million acres of public lands in the U.S. that are open for all of us to enjoy and for wildlife to thrive. These lands are now under attack, however, by Trump, Republicans in Congress, and polluters. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 and tell them to protect our public lands.

🚨 A federal judge has struck down Trump's executive order blocking wind energy, finding it broke the law. This is a big win for more affordable clean energy! Wind is energy at the scale we actually need, reducing pollution, creating tens of thousands of jobs, and lowering energy bills. 🌎

Trump’s unprecedented attacks on clean energy and our environment have done immense damage. But there's still reason for hope and optimism. Climate action and clean energy won all over the country on the state and local level in 2025. 🌎

“Giving Trump the green light to fire leaders of independent agencies … would endanger our health, safety, freedoms, and protections from corporate abuses at a time when corporate money and power are rising in our politics due to rulings by these same MAGA justices.“ My latest @lcv.org

They're not even trying to hide their corruption anymore

"Trump’s insistence on supporting coal and fossil fuels is driving up energy costs nationwide." Trump is forcing dirty and obsolete coal plants to stay open across the country, not only polluting our air and water but forcing ordinary Americans to pay millions of dollars a day to keep them open.

Stronger fuel economy standards would have lowered fuel costs by $23 billion and prevented more than 710 million metric tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere by 2050. The Trump administration has once again sided with polluters over clean air and water and the well-being of ordinary Americans.

"USDA's financial assistance is central to the success of this program. I'm committed to continuing this & doing right by our farmers." Thanks @klobuchar.senate.gov for joining us, @nsac-sustainableag.bsky.social & farmers across the country to defend strong funding of USDA's conservation programs.

The Trump administration's nominee to lead BLM, Steve Pearce, has a track record of supporting the sell-off of our treasured public lands. Our public lands deserve a leader who will protect them, not sell them off. Thank you @hickenlooper.senate.gov for standing strong and opposing Pearce. 👏

Americans need a real steward for our public lands. Steve Pearce, Trump’s pick to lead the BLM, isn’t one. He opposed environmental protections and pushed to sell public lands when he was in Congress. Our public lands are NEVER for sale. I'm a NO on his nomination.

Trump and Republicans in Congress have spent 2025 trying to ban clean energy and raise our bills. Despite this, states all across the country — from Oregon to Ohio — are making inspiring progress lowering energy costs, building clean energy, and tackling climate change. More in our new report 👇

Trump and Republicans in Congress spent 2025 trying to ban clean energy and raise our bills. But states are lowering energy costs, building and tackling climate change. More from @lcv.org https://www.lcv.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-Clean-Energy-Success-in-the-States-Report-LCV.pdf

Your grocery, healthcare, and energy bills are skyrocketing. You are being forced to subsidize AI data centers and obsolete coal plants that return nothing but environmental destruction and higher prices. Meanwhile, Trump is hard at work building a ballroom for himself and his billionaire friends.
