I’m just about to deliver an important message to the U.S. House: Bipartisan governors and mayors from across the country are still all in on climate, but we need Congress to get back in the game if we’re going to beat this threat. #ActOnClimate #USleg

I’m proud of everything we’ve done in WA state — and in states across the country — to start defeating #climatechange. We're leading the charge to build strong, low-carbon economies. But without leadership from the federal government, we won’t be able to do enough fast enough.

There are more jobs in fighting #climatechange than denying it. We are growing clean energy jobs by the bucketful, in communities urban, suburban and rural. It’s time for the federal government to embrace those jobs. #ActOnClimate

Unfortunately, the Trump administration isn’t just failing to act — they are setting the fire. They're rolling back the #CleanPowerPlan in a massive giveaway to polluters, attacking fuel economy and clean car standards, cutting renewable energy by more than $2 billion and more.

It’s more than just disappointing. It is irresponsible. We need an administration that believes in the science of both gravity and climate change. We need a national mobilization to drive innovation across every sector of our economy. #ActOnClimate #USleg #climatechange
