We the people can💯win in Nov. Trump, Vance & their sycophants are not fit to govern the land of the free and the brave.

While Washington state dealt with historic flooding, crucial relief funds were delayed or cut. More cruel and myopic policy from the Trump-Vance Administration. ❌✂️💰 #ClimateChange
Federal grants for flood mitigation work sat on hold as storms inundated Washington state
State officials say the recent deluge highlighted the need for projects to protect communities from floods. The Trump administration has tried to cut funding for some of them.

Trump's pick to manage our public lands is an oil executive and public lands critic who voted against the environment 96% of the time while in Congress. You can't make this stuff up. ❌

Trump is rolling back safeguards on HFCs - which are thousands of times more potent than CO2 at driving #climatechange. The price? Our health, lives, future.

Energy bills are up a whopping 13% since Trump took office. Now he's making it worse by stopping offshore wind projects already nearing completion, making our bills worse and climate change too.⚡💰#RenewableEnergy

Trump's fossil-fuel agenda is murderous: 1.3 million more heat-related deaths over the next 80 years, mostly in nations that did almost nothing to cause the #climatecrisis.
