This week, the House Appropriations Committee removed a provision from its spending bill that would have given pesticide manufacturers legal immunity from lawsuits claiming their products harmed people.
This is a HUGE win for farmers, rural communities, and children!

There is a frenzy to build massive AI data centers across the country. This is putting a humongous strain on our climate and communities.
AI is extraordinarily water intensive, and it jeopardizes the stability of communities’ energy grids.

That is insane.
The US government has provided hundreds of billions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies for more than 100 years. This industry needs our tax dollars to stay profitable.

Did you know that, on average, most children consume more saturated fat than is recommended – potentially leading to heart disease?
If saturated fat limits are removed from the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, that would be especially dangerous.

2024 saw the largest US honeybee die-off on record.
According to USDA, nearly all affected colonies contracted a bee virus spread by parasitic mites.
These mites developed resistance to a commonly used pesticide — amitraz.
