Apparently it's not enough for this administration to be anti-climate; it also has to be anti-data. https://t.co/EoEMYH3XMC

BIG congrats to Alex Valdez on his victory in the primary for Hudson County Commissioner 🥳 Alex is ready to address rising food and energy costs, improve water infrastructure and fight Trump’s MAGA agenda. We’re proud to have endorsed him in this race!

CONGRATS to @RonBautistaNJ on his victory in the primary for Hudson County Commissioner 🎉 We’re proud to have endorsed Ron – a local leader and Food & Water Action ally who helped stop NJ Transit’s proposed fracked gas power plant in Kearny and the I-78 Turnpike Expansion!

Forcing a coal plant to remain open when it hasn't even been operating is beyond wasteful and petty. https://t.co/dY59Uy39w4

A planned Bitcoin mining data center in Kentucky estimates that it will use as much power as 800,000 HOMES 😳

The fact that any company thinks that’s acceptable is truly astonishing – and just proves that all they care about is profits. https://t.co/miuEWOSO4S

Last week, the water utility for the Greater Des Moines, IA area asked 600,000 customers to “use water wisely” because of high nitrate contamination.

If this isn’t a clear case for reining in polluting factory farms and investing in clean water programs, we’re not sure what is.

This Missouri farmer’s op-ed shows why we need to keep Big Ag’s EATS Act – rebranded as the “Save Our Bacon Act” – out of the Farm Bill. It would decimate small- and medium-sized farms, “while eradicating consumer choice and threatening state rights.” https://t.co/boN9Kv5wqI

Have you ever noticed the supreme lack of flavor in grocery store produce versus produce that comes from local growers or farmers markets? That’s all thanks to industrialized agriculture, pesticide use and Big Ag’s relentless pursuit of profits. https://t.co/na2Ho4muuT

As a community leader and small business owner, Yeni Mendez Romero understands how to build a brighter future for her community – which are some of the many reasons we’re proud to endorse her in the race for New Brunswick, NJ City Council!

This administration is taking food away from people who need it. That's not 'the American dream'; it's a cruel nightmare. https://t.co/iY5DIz314e

Unlike her incumbent opponent, @maiforus doesn’t take corporate PAC money and has pledged to make polluters pay for climate damages, protect public lands and more. We’re proud to join @CBD_Action_Fund to endorse her in the Democratic primary for CA-7! https://t.co/3hf7irJUJG

This data center plant is operating with the sort of low-level, no-public-input-required permit authorization "more commonly associated with laundromats." That's downright offensive to local communities who now face significant climate and health risks. https://t.co/chzXUs1BWf

Great news: Vermont is holding the herbicide industry accountable by banning paraquat! This should motivate all of us to stay in the fight to win regulations that protect our health. https://t.co/ISZonscZji

NEW ENDORSEMENT: From addressing rising food and energy costs, to improving water infrastructure and fighting Trump’s MAGA agenda, @AlexValdezNJ has a strong, progressive plan for Hudson County, NJ. We’re excited to endorse him in the race for County Commissioner!

“Rather than gutting our water infrastructure programs, we should be investing in them, so that instances like the Potomac Interceptor collapse are less common than they already are. But that’s not what’s happening with this president and administration.” https://t.co/nKaEAXT1wE

Did you know that some national parks are waiving entrance fees today? Now is a good time to visit, before this administration attempts to destroy and privatize these beautiful places… 😓 https://t.co/CbaiLvkbrx

Health workers know that microplastics exposure can lead to cancer, immune system disruption, reproductive harm and other health problems. We echo their demand that the EPA monitor for these toxins in our drinking water!

[Food & Water Action @fwaction]

As if AI data centers weren’t dystopian enough, now tech companies want to attach them to and power them with the electricity in people’s homes? This is actual nightmare fuel… https://t.co/0DLKMSI9es

Many people are driving to travel for the holiday weekend, so they’re feeling the pain of eye-popping gas prices fueled by Trump’s war in Iran and Big Oil’s profiteering. Luckily, @RepRoKhanna and @SenWhitehouse have a plan to fight back. Support it now: https://t.co/7Nxy9qlXBE

ICYMI: The Trump administration says it’s “making America healthy again” by rolling back Biden-era limits on cancer-causing PFAS chemicals in our drinking water 🥴 https://t.co/17XErQj8sU
