On May 20th, The U.S. EPA announced more than $300 million in Brownfield Grants to address legacy pollution, advance environmental justice, and create healthier communities.
Millions of Americans live within one mile of an abandoned coal mine or an orphaned oil and gas well. These sites are environmental hazards that pollute backyards and community spaces.
Interior announced a nearly $55M investment in ND and WV to plug wells, address hazards, and create good-paying jobs.
@GottaLaff What galls me the most is that there’s enough people who want either a #rapist#dictator or an off-brand #MAGA worm-brain as head of this country. And many say we should take the high road and ‘listen to these people’s concerns’. For me, if you have either one of these on your bucket list for election, FU! #ElectionsMatter#NeverTrump
I'm with my partner as he gets his vasectomy and I can't help but notice: no protestors, no one trying to get him to change his mind, no unnecessary medical scans, no 48 hour waiting period. It's like they TRUST him to make his own medical decisions.
Judge Mark Walker was nominated as U.S. district judge to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida by President Barack Obama in 2012 and serves as chief at this time. #ElectionsMatter#CourtsMatter
Calling all registered voters in #Oregon tomorrow, Tuesday May 21st, is the Primary Election. It doesn't take much effort to complete and drop off your ballot or have it in the mail before 8:00.🗳🇺🇲✅
Imagine Lauren Boebert behind anything called “Trust the Science.” It undermines science by taking authority away from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and instead gives the listing decision for wolves to congressional politicians who lack any qualifications as wildlife biologists.
The bill now heads to the Senate, where it faces a likely defeat, thankfully. #ElectionsMatter
The Justice Department is cracking down on 20 folks who made threats against election workers since 2020.
Guess what? More than half of those bad apples ended up behind bars for over a year! They even set up a special team to handle these threats from people who still believe the 2020 election was stolen.
And get this, the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, says they won't stop until they bring these bullies to justice.
This is crazy. An election conspiracy lawyer who was helping that #Overstock.com clown defend against defamation charges by #Dominion funneled privileged discovery documents, including internal emails, to delusional conspiracy sheriff #DarLeaf, who promptly released them into the wild on Twitter. The lawyer was arrested by US Marshals, and disbarrment is on the horizon for her. I hope the feds are investigating Sheriff Leaf because he's a menace.
#Republicans want to get rid of #votingMachines because the unreliability, inaccuracy, and chaos of hand-counting will provide cover for them to manipulate the results. It's about their desire to strip the decision-making authority from the voters, and put it into the hands of partisan extremists.
Even though @ThomHartmann is off until 04-Dec he is still publishing important information.
As many here have pointed out the similarities between the 1933 Adolph Hitler and 2023 tRump is frightening!
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it and there has never been a more important election in the history of the #UnitedStates then what we are facing in #Election2024

Five Proud Boys leaders are going to prison over Jan. 6. But we haven't seen the end of the gang, or the damage it inflicted on the American political landscape “That day broke our tradition of peacefully transferring power, which is among the most precious things we had as Americans Notice I said ‘had’ — we don’t have it anymore.” #MAGATerrorists

“I continue to urge Congress to act swiftly to recognize ratification of the ERA and affirm the fundamental truth that all Americans should have equal rights and protections under the law.” ~ President Biden 💙 #Biden#ElectionsMatter#HumanRights#WomensRights
“Deforestation in the Brazilian #Amazon fell by at least 60% in July compared to the same month last year, the environment minister, Marina Silva, has told the Guardian.
The good news comes ahead of a regional summit that aims to prevent South America’s largest biome from hitting a calamitous tipping point.” #ClimateCrisis
“Come on — adults know what slavery really involved. It involved rape. It involved torture. It involved taking a baby from their mother. It involved some of the worst examples of depriving people of humanity in our world. How is it that anyone could suggest that in the midst of these atrocities, that there was any benefit to being subjected to this level of dehumanization?" ~ VP Kamala Harris #BLM#Florida#News#Politics#ElectionsMatter#Education
