Big news for our public lands—Republican attempts to sell off our public lands using reconciliation do NOT pass the Byrd Rule (or the smell test).
The Parliamentarian also finds their sneaky attempts to undermine NEPA and mandatory oil and gas leasing and permitting schemes don’t fly. This is a huge win!

Fossil fuels might get a new lease on life with Trump's "drill, baby, drill" policy. Expect more drilling on public lands and less investment in renewables. #FossilFuelSubsidies
President Carter taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from this remarkable man. https://t.co/dZHL0Nu0Tj

Scientists: record temps will get worse without fast action. "It’s a warning that we will permanently cross those thresholds in a matter of a decade or two if we fail to reduce carbon emissions dramatically in the years ahead." @MichaelEMann@MatthewRozsa https://t.co/dbhz4AsPyd

In the wake of last spring's Willow oil decision, President Biden now wants to ban drilling in a neighboring area of the Arctic bigger than the state of Maryland
@SecDebHaaland is also cancelling oil leases for the iconic Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

Scientists believe yesterday may have been the hottest day on Earth in around 125,000 years. This is #climate change. via @leo_sands https://t.co/dPTPG3HGFx
Do you think there are a lot of climate deniers out there?
Spoiler: there actually aren’t that many — only 1 in 10 Americans
(according to @YaleClimateComm)
But that misperception may be one of the biggest hurdles to sweeping #ClimateAction 🌎
Wow! @Interior has announced over $13 million will be invested to protect migration routes and restore critical habitat for iconic Western species like pronghorn and elk! Thank you for this historic investment! https://t.co/D88y6P2jJy
A U.S. District Court judge in Alaska denied a request for a preliminary injunction to prevent ConocoPhillips from proceeding with work on the Willow oil and gas project in the Western Arctic. We will continue fighting with all means at our disposal! https://t.co/8excWAmIla
BREAKING: the Biden admin has approved the Willow project. Thank you to the Indigenous leaders, climate advocates & the 5 million who fought to protect our planet.
It won't stop here. The fight for a sustainable future is a long one.
Our statement: https://t.co/qXdmoSzfMa
The carbon emissions from the Willow project would result in $19.8 billion or more in climate change-related damages. How much federal revenue would the project purportedly bring in? $3.9 billion.
@POTUS, It's just not worth it. #StopWillow https://t.co/P4TKLHZP3Y
Today on #PresidentsDay, we call on @potus to fulfill his climate promises and stop the Willow Project, aka the largest proposed oil&gas "Carbon Bomb" threatening Alaska's North Slope and the Western Arctic. #StopWillow
See our thread and send him a message!
🚨 @Conocophillips plans to artificially refreeze the Arctic's permafrost that the #ClimateCrisis melted in order to drill for oil & release 287M tons of CO2,. The irony is hard to miss & the logic is hard to find. Tell @POTUS to stop the Willow Project today🚨🚩
