Just, no! Hands off our public lands!

Here at the United Nations earlier today wrapping up a meeting with the UN Secretary-General and our Congressional Delegation on the continued need for U.S. leadership on climate action and our commitment to our communities. Proud to be here representing New Mexico and fighting for our future! ❤️

NY's leadership in Community Solar is why I fought so hard to restore the NY Sun program in this year's budget. Let's keep developing lower cost energy for ratepayers! www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...

New York stands apart as US community solar growth clusters in states with stronger rules

In the United States, community solar is expanding, but most of that momentum is coming from a relatively small number of states with supportive rules.

In Arizona, my friend Jonathan Nez is fighting to protect something every community depends on: Water. The Navajo Code Talkers used the Diné language to help lead our nation to victory in World War II.

Jonathan Nez@formerpreznez.bsky.social · 2w ago

During WW2, all Americans were called to Warrior Up and fight against fascism. Diné, the beautiful language I first learned in my family home, helped turn the tide of the war.

I have fought for New Mexico’s water, land, and communities my whole career, and I always will. I support a moratorium on data centers until clear and transparent accountability measures are adopted. New Mexicans deserve a voice in protecting the resources that make our state home.

The Trump Administration is trying to dismantle some of our most cherished public lands. Our National Parks are for every American. They aren’t for sale.

Normal? Not at all. Birdsong fades. Summer temperatures soar. The danger is we simply adjust – but we shouldn’t. We cannot allow the climate crisis to rewrite our idea of what's normal.

Big Oil is making a $30 million windfall profit every HOUR by using the Iran War as an excuse to rip off commuters at the gas pump. This year, Exxon will be spending $20 billion of its profits on stock buybacks. We must end the Iran War and pass a windfall profits tax — NOW!

Fossil-fueled power plants are expensive, dirty, and make our communities sicker. The EPA’s rollback of life-saving pollution limits is a dangerous, corrupt decision that gives handouts to Big Oil and Gas and does nothing to lower your costs.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2w ago

BREAKING: The EPA is eliminating a rule that limits planet-warming pollution from coal and gas-fired power plants.

We have responsibilities as a part of a living world, and they always includes the animals with whom we share water, land, and air (whether we notice them or not!) I'm proud that Humane World Action Fund has endorsed my '26 reelection! #ConsiderCompassion

Opening our National Parks to private developers is a red line we cannot cross. I’m fighting to protect Yosemite and put an end to the administration’s brazen efforts to put profit above one of our most iconic parks.

On September 21, climate advocates around the world and YOU will come together again for Zero Emissions Day – with one shared goal: #CheapCleanEnergyNow. We’re ready to take action. Are you in? clim.cc/zero-emissions

Last month was the hottest month ever recorded on Earth. Donald Trump couldn’t care less, but you should. Here’s why.

Yosemite is a national park, not a bargaining chip for private developers.    I’ll continue to do everything I can to keep our public lands in public hands. www.sacbee.com/news/califor...

California Sens. Padilla and Schiff lead bipartisan push to block Yosemite deal

A letter, backed by nearly a third of Congress, sent Tuesday called the potential deal “extremely concerning.”

Thousand-year-old glaciers are melting away in the Himalayas. Hundred-year storms are becoming routine. The realities of climate change are undeniable. When will Congress finally acknowledge the devastation and do something about it?

Tragic news. We’re in debt to all of the wildland firefighters working long hours in dangerous conditions to keep our communities safe. My thoughts are with the firefighter’s loved ones, fellow firefighters, and friends in the wake of this huge loss.

This administration dropped the Atlantic from its drilling plans after Republican lawmakers from coastal states pushed back. They are betting the West Coast will fold. We will not. I will fight this in Congress and in the courts.

Eleven lives were lost. If it’s correct that the tank that collapsed was identified as unfit, but the company continued to use it to store dangerous chemicals, the company has an enormous amount to answer for. Frankly, it boils my blood.

At the moment we have no real idea how to scale up carbon removal--it's a hair on the mole of the ugly backside of the global hydrocarbon industry But we do know how to scale up solar panels and wind turbines and batteries. So that's our job billmckibben.substack.com/p/facts-on-t...
