We need more electricity, and we need it cheaper and faster. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act does that AND holds data centers accountable–meaning lower costs for you.

Almost 1 million comments have been submitted to protect the Roadless Rule from rollbacks. The fight doesn’t stop here. We’ll keep defending our roadless areas from Trump’s endless attacks.

President Trump would rather spend YOUR taxpayer dollars shuffling funding for his D.C. vanity projects than work to lower costs for working families. This move is selfish, illegal, and wrong.

Our public lands are the anvil on which our American identity has been forged. Without the Roadless Rule, many of those places won’t survive. Today is the LAST DAY to comment on the Trump administration’s attempt to repeal the Roadless Rule.

New Mexico is home to America's first designated wilderness area, the Gila Wilderness. This National Wilderness Week, let's remember that appreciation for our public lands is something that unifies all Americans and that our wilderness areas are worth protecting.

America's national parks face $24 billion in deferred maintenance needs to keep them safe and open. But the Trump admin is using hundreds of millions of dollars for the President’s vanity projects. We should be investing in the parks that belong to all of us.

Colorado: today’s the day to get out into the great outdoors and experience our four breathtaking national parks FOR FREE! Today is the 110th birthday of the National Park Service! We’re honoring the dedication of thousands of NPS workers who help keep our public lands in tip-top shape.

On August 25, 1916, the National Park Service was created to protect America’s national treasures, preserving them for generations to come. Today, celebrate its 110th birthday by exploring a National Park with FREE entrance, and share what our parks mean to you.

The American wilderness is one of our greatest natural treasures. Now Trump wants to open it up to his development buddies. As Joni Mitchell would say: they’re trying to pave paradise to put up a parking lot.

Wildfires are 4 times more likely to start near roads than in roadless areas. More roads = more fire. Trump is selling out your public lands for development while over 2.6 million acres of Oregon burn in a record wildfire season.

The 2 million Oregon acres include areas such as Lost Lake and Mirror Lake near Mount Hood, plus sections of the Pacific Crest Trail and Timberline Trail. https://mrf.lu/2R-8x

The Roadless Rule protects our irreplaceable roadless areas. Americans have been clear – repeatedly and across party lines – that we don’t want Trump screwing with our public lands. Someone needs to tell him to get out of his golf cart and touch some grass.

Every day the Iran war drags on, Americans pay the price. Donald Trump has little incentive to end it when his billionaire friends keep getting richer while working people struggle to fill their tanks and pay for the basics.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Soaring prices for oil and gas, triggered by the war in Iran, are driving a surge in corporate profits for multinational energy companies, with Shell reporting a $9.8 billion windfall between April and June.

President Trump delayed programs to fight wildfires and pushed out thousands of USFS employees to be more “efficient. Now Superior National Forest is facing the deadly consequences of those decisions. There’s nothing efficient about that.

The Grand Staircase transcends time and connects 150 miles of cliffs from the Grand Canyon to Bryce Canyon. Trump left it out of his re-drawn Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Stealing from our shared heritage, and the legacy we will leave future generations.

Effective wildfire management requires targeted, science-based treatments. Instead, the Trump administration is advancing an “emergency” massive logging proposal with little transparency and almost no public input — putting industry profits ahead of your public lands.

Today’s executive action is another chapter in Trump’s War on the West. Bears Ears and Grand Staircase belong to the American people, not billionaires looking to profit off public lands. It's a slap in the face to Tribes, local communities, & future generations. Now is the time to raise your voice.

We are losing experienced firefighters and asking the ones who are left to do more with less. The Trump administration’s policies are not only demoralizing firefighters, they’re endangering those on the frontlines and the communities they’re dedicated to protecting.

Temperatures are rising and our grid is experiencing record demand because of it. Trump's solution? Kill clean energy projects and strain the grid even more, no matter what it costs you.
