What’s the coolest place you’ve never heard of? 👀 The Western Arctic! Right now, 13M acres of wild, vital land is at risk of oil + gas drilling. 🛑 That’s where you come in. Public comments are open until August 4, and your voice can help stop this. ✍️bit.ly/3IDjcTo
The House just passed the budget bill putting the Arctic—and so much more—at risk. So many will lose so much. This vote hurts. This isn’t the outcome we fought for. But it’s not the end. We’re grieving, regrouping, and will always keep fighting. #ProtectTheArctic

🚨 ConocoPhillips wants to drill 4 new wells and run seismic tests across 300 sq miles in Alaska’s Western Arctic, just miles from the Willow site. More oil. More climate chaos. More risk to wildlife and Indigenous ways of life. This has to stop.

I guess “take care of Alaska's interests” means selling off Alaska's Arctic to the highest bidder. Thanks, Lease-a Murkowski.
NEW: Sen. Lisa Murkowski stares me down for more than 10 secs after I ask her to respond to Sen. Rand Paul’s critique of the deal she struck to get her to a YES and pass the OBBB. “Do I like this bill? No. But I tried to take care of Alaska’s interests.” w/ @frankthorp
Nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like cramming 69 anti-environmental provisions into a budget bill. lcv.org/wp-content/upl… via @LCVoters Here’s what’s at stake for the Arctic alone. ⬇️



We were proud to stand with @LCVoters, @RepDexterOR, and so many others today to say: reject the Big Ugly Bill. It’s an all-out attack on climate progress, clean energy, and places like the Arctic that need protection.
.@LCVoters is outside the Capitol with affordable clean energy champions like @RepDexterOR calling on House Republicans to vote NO on the Big Ugly Bill!
Yesterday, Senate Republicans passed the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill," threatening millions of Americans and selling off our public lands to Big Oil and billionaire cronies. Manchild energy at its finest! 😒
Last night, I proposed two amendments to strike the billions Republicans are giving away to Big Oil in their Big Ugly Bill, including tax breaks for drilling, oil production, and coal. The fight to strike these Big Oil bonuses is not over.
