    .@SenWhitehouse asked a Trump nominee for evidence that vandals damaged the Reflecting Pool. We're still wondering, where is that evidence?

    The Trump Administration will happily sacrifice an entire species on the altar of oil and gas interests. It’s cruel, and it’s corrupt.

    Back before the Republican Party was corrupted by special interests, Senator John Chafee urged Congress to address climate change.

    We are living through a biodiversity crash being driven primarily by human activity: climate change, deforestation, pollution, and more. How much of what wildlife remains must be a sacrifice to the worship of fossil fuel?

    While Trump hands out big bucks for his fossil fuel donors, families' energy costs climb higher. Since Trump took office, utility costs have soared 18%.

    We want to pass permitting reform in the Senate. But the Administration’s clean energy obstruction must end.

    President Trump’s war in Iran raised gasoline costs above $4 per gallon in every single state. We need transportation policies that help Americans, not Trump's Big Oil donors. We need affordable, reliable, and safe transportation choices.

    Trump took a wrecking ball to the White House … and the law. @SenWhitehouse, @RepRobertGarcia, and @RepHuffman are leading 140+ Dems to challenge the Administration in court and stop his billion-dollar ballroom.

    Trump Administration interference, closed-door decision-making, and alarming staff losses threaten the success of our nation’s nuclear safety regulator and the foundation of our nuclear industry.

    IMO, another big fat Trumpian favor for the fossil fuel industry. Maybe paired with our excess profits clawback bill this makes sense, but not while they’re busy gorging themselves at the public’s expense.
