Thank you @SenBooker for your leadership to restore the rights of cancer victims' to hold pesticide companies legally accountable for the harms caused by their products. It was great to see all the Dems united in support of your amendment! https://t.co/mssb4zXWj8

As a result of the Trump admin's fossil-fueled bullying, RWE will relinquish its offshore wind leases and invest in fossil fuels instead. Big mistake.

The AI boom is also giving fossil fuel companies a new industry to sell their gas, pipelines & power plants to: data centers

“The frightening thing about the tech & oil alliance is that this is a lifeline to an industry that we need to be phasing out."

Chevron and Williams are big winners in the race to power artificial intelligence as they build out gas-fired power plants and pipelines. https://t.co/EcKuWWSI10

.@SenBooker introduced a Farm Bill amendment to guarantee Americans’ right to sue pesticide manufacturers when their products cause harm — and Republicans on the Senate Ag Committee just shot it down.

It is shameful that the Republicans of the Agriculture Committee refused to settle this once and for all and ensure pesticide manufacturers can once again be held legally responsible when they fail to warn of the dangers of their chemicals.

[Friends of the Earth (Action) @foe_us]

Every senator on the Agriculture Committee should stand up for people across the country and make sure the largest pesticide companies have to answer for the harms of their products.

[Friends of the Earth (Action) @foe_us]

Earlier this year, SCOTUS ruled in favor of Bayer, limiting people’s ability to sue pesticide corporations for failing to warn them of cancer & other health harms linked to their products

Luckily, @SenBooker is taking action this week to reverse this decision and restore justice

[Friends of the Earth (Action) @foe_us]

The Supreme Court’s decision effectively let the largest pesticide manufacturers off the hook for any health risks associated with their products. This is a huge step to restoring justice.

Call your Senator TODAY and urge them to oppose any amendment like the Save Our Bacon Act that would strip states of their authority to protect animal welfare, public health, and the environment.

.@SenateAg Committee is about to vote on the Farm Bill & there's growing pressure to add provisions like the Save Our Bacon Act

While framed as targeting state laws that prohibit cruel animal confinement practices, it also threatens state laws protecting food safety & consumers

[Friends of the Earth (Action) @foe_us]

@SenAmyKlobuchar @SenatorSlotkin @SenFettermanPA @SenTinaSmith @SenatorDurbin @SenatorBennet @SenatorLujan @SenatorWarnock @SenPeterWelch @SenAdamSchiff: vote NO on the Farm Bill.

[Friends of the Earth (Action) @foe_us]

The Senate Farm Bill gives too many handouts to Big Ag and the pesticide industry while failing to restore accountability for pesticide manufacturers whose products have harmed people.

"If these waivers are overturned through the CRA, residents living near ports would face higher pollution levels, delayed health protection, reduced state authority to address local environmental harms & a widening of existing environmental inequities."

Fossil gas exporters like Cheniere and Venture are putting upward pressure on consumer costs for the entire country.

Their executives are also using Trump's war to mint dynastic wealth for themselves.

Marine geoengineering is gaining attention, but the science, governance, and environmental risks raise serious questions.

Our latest Substack post breaks down what's at stake and why cutting emissions must remain the priority.
