The history of this era will be written. It will be a shameful history for those who are empowering this man, Todd Blanche, to take his personal representation of this president to the highest possible level, if he becomes the next Attorney General. @judiciarydems.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov
"Every time we burn fossil fuels, it adds more chemicals to the atmosphere that trap more heat, creating a positive feedback loop that makes everything hotter and drier." Fossil fuels are driving up our costs and destroying our planet. We need more clean energy and we need it now.

Trump is blaming Big Oil companies for "making too much money" after reporting their largest quarterly profits in years thanks to soaring fuel prices from the War in Iran. In other news, Arsonist Blames Fire for Destroying Homes.
“They’re [utility bills] up 18% since Trump came into office. Remember, he promised to cut them in half.” LCV’s @pete.lcv.org sat down with @terrymoranabc.bsky.social to discuss Trump’s attacks on clean energy, data centers, extreme weather, and rising energy bills. WATCH 👇
Our thoughts are with @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social, her family, and her staff after this weekend’s frightening traffic collision. We’re sending her our best wishes and hopes for a full and speedy recovery. Get well soon, Congresswoman Kaptur!

“Make no mistake: the Republican Senators voting to confirm Todd Blanche are doing so because they support Trump and Blanche’s continued corruption of justice, not because they’ve done anything to stop it.” - @lcv.org

Data centers are driving up our energy bills, straining water supplies, and polluting our air. Trump, however, just approved the first data center on public lands and exempted data center power plants from acid rain protections. Trump stands with Big Tech billionaires, not the American people.
Trump recently slashed Utah's Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments by 90% each. Now he's going after New Mexico's sacred Chaco Canyon, fast-tracking a proposal to open up 336,000 acres to mineral leasing. REPOST to tell Trump to keep his dirty hands off Chaco. #SaveChaco
Odyssey this. Odyssey that. We Odyssey more clean energy and fewer fossil fuels.
Oil companies are raking in BILLIONS because of Trump's war with Iran. All while Americans pay far too much for gas. The GOP is helping corporations instead of working families. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Big oil companies reap billions off the Iran War
Exxon and Chevron reported a combined $26.5 billion windfall for the second quarter, as many drivers struggle to afford the price of gas.

Minnesota’s Sherburne County Generating Station — which burned thousands of tons of coal every day for decades — is being turned into a solar facility. Sherco Solar 3 completed its third phase and is already one of the biggest solar facilities in the U.S., providing 150,000 homes with clean energy.
"In the first year of Trump’s second term, the DOJ filed just 16 civil suits against polluters...an 81% drop from the first year of Trump’s first term and 76% lower than the first year of the Biden administration." Trump is giving polluters free rein to raise our costs and pollute our environment.
DOJ’s Environmental Enforcement Has Collapsed in the Second Trump Administration, Former Attorneys Say - Inside Climate News
The Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division recently changed its name to the Energy and Natural Resources Division and added “unleashing American energy” to its mission.

This week, Trump approved the first data center on public lands, replacing a solar project in Nevada, and exempted data center power plants from acid rain protections. It's time to demand transparency, make Big Tech pay their fair share, and hold them accountable for polluting our environment.
"The last thing we need is a loud, water thieving, light polluting, data center near our town." Legendary singer Willie Nelson just called on Americans to resist data centers. It's time to make Big Tech pay their fair share for using our resources and hold them accountable for pollution.
Big Oil is reporting their largest quarterly profits in years as they get richer than ever from Trump's War in Iran. Enough is enough. We must pass the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act to stop Big Oil price gouging and the Energy Bills Relief Act to quickly build more clean energy.

We’ve known it all along: the Trump administration canceled energy project grants in states where Donald Trump lost in 2024. Americans deserve a government that works for them, not one that plays politics with their lives and jobs.

"In the first quarter of 2026, the world’s six biggest oil companies—BP, Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies—saw a combined net income of $23 billion. For Q2, that figure is expected to nearly double to $45 billion." Big Oil profits while you pay more and the planet burns.
Big Oil profits are soaring while extreme heat waves scorch the planet this summer
Emissions from the largest oil companies were enough to cause 1 in 4 heat waves over the past 2 decades, according to a new analysis from Oxfam.

Voters across the country are furious about soaring energy costs fueled by greed, data centers, and Republicans in the White House and Congress who have blocked clean energy. LCV Victory Fund is investing at least $50 million to call out the candidates up and down the ballot who are responsible.

Trump's EPA has given permission to data center power plants to sidestep pollution protections against acid rain. It's time to demand transparency, make Big Tech pay their fair share, and hold them accountable for polluting our environment. Source: Reuters
I was personally lied to. The Trump Administration canceled nearly $8 billion in grants, killing projects, jobs, and investments across the country. Except it wasn’t across the entire country. Just in states that voted against Trump.
We are LCV. 🌎 Since 1970, we have fought for people and planet, including winning the largest climate investment in history in 2022. But we need your support to defend clean air and water, protect our public lands, and fight to lower energy bills. Can you repost and help us reach 25k followers?
ICYMI: Last week, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce debated 29 bills shaping the future of energy prices and data center regulations. Don’t want to watch all 7+ hours? Here were some key moments from our congressional champions below 👇
The Trump administration has approved the first data center on public lands, replacing a solar project in Boulder City, NV without any review or public comment. Instead of their costs being lowered by clean, affordable energy, Nevadans will now see their energy bills increase even more.
How the Trump Administration Turned a Solar Farm Into a Data Center
The local government of Boulder City, Nevada had previously rejected a proposal for the computing facility, which would draw power from the existing electricity supply.
