As we’ve been telling you, Senator Joe Manchin (jerkface-WV) continues to push for his zombie like dirty deal that would fast track fossil fuel infrastructure and harmfully impact frontline communities. But we haven’t mentioned lately that in addition to threatening our climate and communities, Manchin’s dirty deal is a huge conflict of interest. Manchin still …

President Biden is hosting a party at the White House today to celebrate the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Biden: Declare a climate emergency

There’s nothing I can say to convince you we’re living in a climate emergency that is more persuasive than the headlines and disasters unfolding all around us. What’s left now is not to decide whether we will act, it’s to push our leaders to act at the scale the crisis demands. All year we’ve pushed …

Tell Interior Sec. Deb Haaland to Stop the Sale and save the climate!

One week after COP26, and despite our strong objection, President Biden and Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland hosted the largest oil & gas offshore lease sale in US history: 80 million acres of public waters for drilling. This is a clear violation of President Biden’s promises during his campaign, and puts Biden on track to approve …

* Update * No surprise, climate-denying coal baron Joe Manchin has blocked progress on President Biden’s agenda, again.

We’ve been pushing for weeks to pass a version of President Biden’s Build Back Better Act with no cuts to climate, care, jobs or justice.

We’re in the endgame of negotiations over President Biden’s Build Back Better Act. Sen Manchin and his Republican allies have forced Biden and the Democrats to cut another ~$1.5 trillion from the bill, but there’s still a lot worth fighting for.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she wants to pass three big bills this week: A short term funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, the crappy infrastructure bill we told you about a few months ago, and the big, bold $3.5 trillion Build Back Better bill that’s our best chance to tackle climate change this …
