🚨 A federal judge has REJECTED the Trump DOJ's attempt to block a community lawsuit against Elon Musk's data center. The NAACP and environmental groups are suing xAI's data center in the Memphis, TN area for using polluting gas turbines without a Clean Air Act permit.

Michael Whatley, who spent nearly two decades as an energy lobbyist, fully supports the Trump agenda that has made life unaffordable for Americans and enriched billionaires. That's why LCV Victory Fund added him to this year's Dirty Dozen. North Carolinians will hold him accountable next week.

We're leaving nothing to chance this November. That's why LCV Victory Fund is investing a record $110 million in the midterms to reach voters furious about rising energy costs and mobilize them in support of Democrats who will fight for the people, not billionaires.

Extreme weather fueled by climate change is causing home insurance rates to soar across the country. Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans in Congress continue to pass pro-fossil fuel, anti-climate policies making the problem even worse. We will hold them accountable on Election Day. #LCVVF

"I think it’s actually just putting the two and two together." β€”LCV National Field Director Bill Hairston For many Black voters across the country, data center development is becoming one of the main issues bringing people into discussions about energy and environmental policy.

capitalbnews.orgFor Black Voters, Climate Action Means Little Without Relief From Rising CostsConcerns about utility bills, data centers, and pollution show why Black Americans want action from elected officials.

The massive data center buildout across the U.S. is increasing our energy bills and straining our resources. But it's also leading to a dramatic expansion in gas power plants and worsening air pollution. We need to hold Big Tech accountable and increase clean energy production immediately.

Trump's FEMA just delivered a message to states recovering from disasters: You're on your own. Trump, who threatened to abolish FEMA and has gutted the agency, is planning to cut federal disaster aid and shift the responsibility to states. This administration does not care about our well-being.

🚨 Voters are furious at utility companies, Big Tech, and Big Oil for making record profits while their families struggle. That's why LCV Victory Fund is investing a record $110 million in the midterms to mobilize these voters in support of Democrats who will fight for the people, not billionaires.

washingtonpost.comClimate group pours in midterms money for DemocratsThe League of Conservation announced more than $100 million to support Democrats going into the midterms.

Clean, electric vehicles save the most money for people who drive the most - reducing the most pollution, too. Thank you @repgreglandsman.bsky.social for your innovative proposal to direct clean-vehicle tax credits to gasoline β€œsuperusers.” Read more about the 21st Century Vehicle Act hereπŸ‘‡

Congressman Greg Landsman@repgreglandsman.bsky.social

Americans are paying more at the pump while electric vehicles are out of reach for many families. We introduced the 21st Century Vehicle Choice Act, which would dramatically lower the cost of EVs and help families save money on gas.

"The people behind this decades-long 'gas is clean' campaign have pretty much always known that gas wasn’t actually clean." There's nothing "natural" about methane gas, a climate super pollutant that can be up to 80x more potent than CO2. Don't fall for the fossil fuel industry's lies.

Big Polluters have spent decades lying about the true harms of climate pollutionβ€”raking in huge profits while we pay the price. Now, they’re asking their friends on the Supreme Court to shield them from accountability. Here’s what you need to know:

"Without major intervention, as much as three-quarters of California’s beaches could disappear β€” either seasonally or permanently β€” by 2100 because of coastal erosion." California could change radically in the coming decades thanks to climate change. We need climate action and we need it now.

The Trump administration is set to issue permits soon for seismic testing in the Arctic Refuge. This looks like 90,000-pound trucks smashing the tundra in order to find oil, damaging habitats and even crushing polar bear dens. We must stop seismic testing and #DefendTheArctic now.

Trump's War in Iran has made all of us worse off, raising gas and energy prices and making life unaffordable. But fossil fuel companies, who Trump has enriched at every opportunity, are seeing their profits soar at our expense. Big Oil is getting exactly what they were promised by Trump.

huffpost.comThere’s One Big Winner In Trump’s Disastrous WarOil profits have soared as gas and diesel prices squeeze everyday Americans: β€œIt’s a really good time to be in the oil business.”

Jon Husted played a pivotal role in bringing data centers to Ohio, giving Big Tech companies billions in tax breaks. He also championed the HB6 bailout bill at the center of a major corruption scandal that caused Ohioans’ electric bills to skyrocket. Ohio deserves better. #LCVVF

Florida home insurance premiums increased by 75% between 2021 and 2025 as extreme weather continues to wreak havoc on the state. Republicans like Casey Askar support policies that make extreme weather worse and drive insurance costs even higher. Watch LCV Victory Fund's new ad, running in FL-22 πŸ‘‡

Extreme heat caused by climate change is leading to soaring utility bills that Americans can't afford. Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans in Congress are doing everything they can to make both worse β€” gutting environmental protections, embracing data centers, and giving Big Oil billionaires tax cuts.

nytimes.comOklahoma Families Faced the Hottest Summer Ever and an Electricity CrisisRecord heat and a rising demand for electricity are closing in on Oklahoma families trying to keep the lights on and the AC running.

The Trump administration is considering placing data centers on 17,600 acres of public land in six states: Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. Public lands belong to the American people, not to Big Tech monstrosities. Full stop.

Mike Rogers supported Trump's Big Ugly Bill and War in Iran that have caused costs to skyrocket. Rogers took ~$693,000 in campaign cash from Big Oil donors while in Congress and currently holds millions in tech investments positioned to benefit from data centers. Michigan deserves better. #LCVVF

Trump is fast-tracking data centers all across the country. Republicans in Congress vocally supported these data centers for years. Now they are pretending that never happened. But we haven't forgotten and will hold them accountable this November for selling our communities out to Big Tech. #LCVVF

"He [Trump] promised to cut energy bills in half within a year and repeatedly pledged to attack inflation beginning on his first day back in office." Trump's second term has been one giant broken promise. He is enriching his billionaires friends and himself while we are left to foot the bill.

washingtonpost.comIn this deep-red city, rising costs test Trump’s affordability messageThe president campaigned on a promise to cut energy bills and attack inflation, but many voters say their expenses are rising faster than their paychecks.

Susan Collins went from a 100% LCV score in 2008 to a 0% LCV score in 2024. Once an environmental champion, Collins has fully embraced the extremist, pro-polluter MAGA agenda. Her days of faux outrage and only voting against Trump when it doesn't matter are over. #LCVVF

"Almost every voter β€” 11 out of 12 β€” said they were disappointed with the overall job Trump has been doing. And 10 said they regret voting for him." Americans know that Trump broke his promise to make life more affordable and instead has spent his second term giving handouts to billionaires. #LCVVF

npr.orgThese swing voters regret voting for Trump and it's influencing their midterm choicesSome key voters in Georgia say deep frustration and disappointment with President Trump are motivating their election plans just weeks before Election Day.

Trump's EPA is moving to weaken protections against methane, a climate super pollutant that can be up to 80x more potent than CO2. This administration is willing to sell out the health and safety of our families and environment in order to reward their buddies in the oil and gas industry.

There's a reason that, in movies, the guys in expensive suits who show up to chop down trees and bulldoze a public park to build a golf course are the villains. East Potomac Park belongs to the American people, not a president who thinks our public lands are part of his golf course portfolio.

Natural Resources Committee Democrats@naturalresources.bsky.social

NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump admin to stop cutting down trees at the historic East Potomac Park after crews felled about 430 trees in one day. The Park Service has been quietly handing out contracts to remake the public course into a luxury championship venue for Trump.

We're paying record-breaking gas prices every day. When Big Oil companies release their Q3 profits next week, do you think they will be suffering? Thank you, @magaziner.house.gov for supporting the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act to return these excess profits to the Americans footing the bill!

The big oil and gas companies are making tens of billions of dollars while Rhode Islanders are getting gouged on the price of gas. Here's how we fix it:

Stop us if you've heard this before: Big Oil's profits soared again in Q3. Big Oil is destroying our planet, profiting off of war, and raising our costs. Trump and Republicans in Congress have rewarded them by gutting their clean energy competitors and giving them huge tax cuts.

Trump has been secretly trying to sell off part of YOSEMITE to a real-estate private equity firm so they can build their own road to the national park. This is absolutely unconscionable and un-American. American national parks belong to the people, not to Trump or billionaire private developers.

Inflation in the U.S. accelerated to 3.7% in September thanks to soaring energy costs caused by Trump's War in Iran and Republican anti-affordability policies. We can't afford gas or electricity but don't worry, Trump and Congressional Republicans are giving Big Oil billions in handouts πŸ‘
