BREAKING: MAGA House Republicans just unveiled their appropriations bill for @Interior and the environment, which includes radical, unprecedented cuts to @EPA and other dangerous provisions.

This bill is nothing short of anti-environmental extremism.

THREAD 🧵👇 MAGA Republicans’ appropriations bill includes a ~40% cut to @EPA’s funding, which would be the lowest level in more than 30 YEARS.

This would be absolutely catastrophic for our planet, our health, and our communities.

In 2019, the Select Committee was tasked with combating the climate crisis.

In today's final hearing, @ClimateCrisis lays out congressional successes and needed action to transition to a clean energy future and improve community resilience. 🧵

Watch➡️ @ClimateCrisis Honoring late @RepMcEachin with a moment of silence, Chair Castor said: “In Congress, he changed the conversation on climate change. Environmental justice was at the heart of his work.... I trust that his example will inspire all of us to be faithful public servants.”

2022 was the most important year for climate action in U.S. history.

The IRA was signed into law. @POTUS took numerous climate actions. But we can't meet our climate goals without state action — and that's exactly what happened in 2022.

THREAD of state clean energy wins 🧵👇 California led the charge on electric vehicles and climate funding, instituting the nation-leading Advanced Clean Cars II rule that requires all new cars sold after 2035 are electric 🚗

The state's last budget also included an unprecedented $54 billion to combat climate change.

Happy Monday!

"When it comes to Spirit Mountain and surrounding ridges and canyons in Nevada, I’m committed to protecting this sacred place that is central to the creation story of so many tribes." -@POTUS

Abortion rights aren't the only thing on the line with this captured, extremist Supreme Court. The very future of our planet is as well.

#WVvEPA could be the most consequential environmental Supreme Court case in decades.

THREAD 🧵👇 vox.com/2022/2/23/2293… #WVvEPA is a Supreme Court case about the @EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.

SCOTUS already ruled that the EPA can and *must* regulate climate pollution, but extremists have captured SCOTUS, putting our planet at stake.

HAPPENING NOW 📣 @RepJoeNeguse is over on our Twitter handle to discuss how clean energy wins in his home state of Colorado can serve as a model for policies at the national level. Hi! This is @RepNeguse 👋 tweeting with LCV to talk about #CleanEnergyForAll in Colorado and across the country.

This is a core issue for me: before taking office, I co-founded the non-profit New Era Colorado to engage youth efforts to #ActOnClimate using clean energy solutions.

Climate change deserves serious time during the #DemDebate in Detroit. We face an urgent crisis and candidates must tell us how they plan to #ActOnClimate.

Read up on on why climate affects nearly every issue facing the country, from healthcare to immigration (1/x) Last month, 74 medical and public health groups came together to call climate change “a health emergency.”

They've asked candidates to “meet and strengthen US commitments” under the 2015 UN climate agreement from which Trump has vowed to withdraw.
