Biden’s team left the White House voicing faith that the bipartisan impact of his climate policies would give them durability--clean energy jobs in red districts, etc. But the politics are difficult, with Trump's tax cuts at stake. https://t.co/rUr3v46EVr

@jenthestargirl @koovarbie This is the sound check!!

[Inside Climate News @insideclimate]

When EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin terminated the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund one year ago, he said he thought it was a “criminal” scheme. His agency never proved wrongdoing, but the legal battle continues, with grantees locked out of their accounts.

The full extent of the exodus from the Environmental Protection Agency only became clear this week. With @paldhous analyzing the new data, @insideclimate reports 4,000 departures from EPA in the first year of Trump's second term. https://t.co/rGrkTfqung

[Marianne Lavelle @mlavelles]

Full 2025 data is in, and electricity prices went up 5% in the US. Maybe less than you've heard (based on earlier numbers) but still > inflation rate and extremely high in some places. My colleague @DanGearino @insideclimate break it down. https://t.co/3yIJAjcRwL

[Marianne Lavelle @mlavelles]

The EPA plans big changes to the Clean School Bus program that Congress created in the 2021 infrastructure bill. Expect less support for electric buses and more for alternative fuels, such as natural gas. My latest for @insideclimate https://t.co/KGoM9DXxPW

@honeymoon250 You must be kidding. Every Boomer (including me) has all 20.

Trump 2.0 and the National Parks: "A systematic way of trying to negate our relationship with the land, our mutual ownership of the land, our understanding of our own history.” fm @blaineharden @insideclimate https://t.co/PQd2abaiKT

@capitalweather You guys did great! The sleet was truly extraordinary.

[Marianne Lavelle @mlavelles]

@wxbrad I *think* that this explains the exceptional sleet. If the temperature had not been so high aloft, that all would have been snow.

"He had a phone up into ICE's face. Is that protesting peacefully?"--Todd Blanche just now on @MeetThePress So he gets shot 10 times? I'd like to know if the ICE officers have been pulled off the street pending the investigation, as any city police officer would be.

[Marianne Lavelle @mlavelles]

@capitalweather Just finished shoveling in Arlington. It sounds like it may be sleeting already.

[Marianne Lavelle @mlavelles]

@KellyLMcCarty @RobinBoardmanUK Alas, deforestation is happening at the same time that fossil fuel emissions are rising.

[Marianne Lavelle @mlavelles]

@taekook_lives I'm so, so sorry for how helpless you must be feeling. I've only begun to learn what is going on in Iran--I'm sure the same is true for many others. People do care and are horrified. Praying for peace and justice. Please also take care of yourself, and do not despair!

Before Trump's election, some 47 million metric tons of carbon emissions cuts were expected this year due to U.S. coal plant retirements. One third of those cuts are now in question. https://t.co/KyQW41FN62

@DanGearino Here's what happened to clean energy tax credits in the House. Fm @DanGearino @insideclimate Much like the rental car agent in a classic Seinfeld episode, the GOP "hold-outs" did not execute the most crucial part of the "hold." https://t.co/82DLXzUj0k

“We were prepared, but not for how fast the water came." My colleague @TheAmanAzhar @insideclimate captured the aftermath of the new normal, underscoring the need for greater action on climate resilience. https://t.co/bmPhioIKQB

Incidentally, while this storm was happening, Congress was launching its retreat from climate policy. Here's the story @DanGearino and I did then. The situation worsened in the bill passed this morning. I'll post our story here soon. https://t.co/rUr3v46EVr
