Heading out on a #july4th2025 roadtrip? Trump and Congressional Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill not only slashes healthcare, but EV incentives too - meaning slower adoption of clean electric vehicles for all. mprnews.org/episode/2025/0…

We're calling on Big Tech to clean up their act. We're calling on country’s largest technology company CEOs – Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Google’s Sundar Pichai, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella – to power their data centers with clean energy, or risk failing to…

Today marks a victory in our fight to protect the Boundary Waters. Buried deep in President Trump and Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill was a provision that gave a foreign mining company full permission to build a copper-nickel sulfide mine right on the doorstep of the Boundary…
Good news for protecting the #BWCA and clean water from toxic sulfide mining! But the fight is far from over. Thank you @SenTinaSmith for your leadership fighting for clean water protections along w/ @BettyMcCollum04 startribune.com/federal-budget…
For good news: we defeated the highway lobby & the Counties who wanted to delay and undermine our nation-leading “Climate Impact of Highways” Law #mnleg (2/2) minnpost.com/cityscape/2025…
Thanks to Rep. Koegel, Sen. Dibble and Rep. Jones for telling the truth that the budget is being unfairly balanced on the backs of transit riders (and the future transit system we should be building), while road funding is protected. #mnleg (1/2)
“Rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, high winds, and certain extreme weather events create the perfect conditions for wildfires to ignite and spread rapidly. But despite the growing risks, recent decisions by the Trump administration have undermined our ability to respond…
