Extreme Republicans in Congress just launched a sham investigation into the Center for Biological Diversity. But the real corruption they should be investigating is Twin Metals and its Chilean parent company. Take Action > act.biologicaldiversity.org/o5VEUgY5pk6p...
The Center for Biological Diversity is Under Attack
This “investigation” doesn’t name a single unlawful act, because there are none. The real corruption they should be investigating is Twin Metals and its Chilean parent company, Antofagasta plc.

Stop Congress’s Attack on our National Forests. The so-called Fix Our Forests Act would lead to more calamitous clearcuts, more habitat-fragmenting roads, and worse water quality. Urge your senators to reject this bill. act.biologicaldiversity.org/LjZaOSTJ90KM...

PLEASE, PLEASE, boycott Etsy.
I just went to their website, and they STILL are still carrying Alligator Alcatraz swag. I used to shop there. The emphasis on USED TO.

It would be like selling Dachau swag during WW2.

All about the buck, baby. Ain't it?

Americans’ electricity bills are predicted to rise by as much as 18% over the next decade, thanks to cuts to clean energy production in Trump’s big, ugly bill.

Red states are likely to see the biggest increases.

Trump put his Big Oil donors over his own voters.

So thankful to Indivisible Baltimore for organizing an enormously successful rally in Charm City. I needed the energy and hope of community today. 5,000 folks showed up to stand together. It was an honor to speak about the importance of this moment.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.
