Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works | Ranking Member @whitehouse.senate.gov
Trump feeds his monumental ego with his vanity projects, and Americans are left to foot the bill.
@whitehouse.senate.gov asked a Trump nominee for evidence that vandals damaged the Reflecting Pool. We're still wondering, where is that evidence?
We want to pass permitting reform in the Senate. But the Administration’s clean energy obstruction must end.
It takes some messed-up math to believe expensive, polluting coal is bringing costs down.
The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the math is simple. Offshore wind lowers energy costs.
Trump’s EPA lies about bringing down costs for families. All they care about is paying off Trump’s fossil fuel donors. You pay the price.
@whitehouse.senate.gov exposed Ric Grenell's corruption, cronyism, and gross mismanagement of the Kennedy Center. Now, Grenell is being replaced.
Trump and Zeldin lie through their teeth when they say they’re protecting our health.
Cutting methane is a no brainer. Trump’s bullying of the EU will hurt American companies, waste gas, and increase air pollution. @whitehouse.senate.gov and @repscottpeters.bsky.social led 24 Members of Congress in urging the EU to resist Trump's attacks and uphold its methane standards.
Trump did a hostile takeover of the Kennedy Center, installed loyalists to bless his power grab, and illegally named the building after himself. Now, amid a wave of boycotts and declining sales, he is trying to shutter the Center. Ranking Member @whitehouse.senate.gov's statement:
Experts agree—there is no permitting reform without project certainty.
The Senate could be working on bipartisan legislation to bring more clean, affordable energy to the grid. The Trump Administration doesn’t want it.
Big Oil is fueling the climate crisis, and they’ve known for nearly 60 years. They’ve been burying the truth and spreading disinformation to make a profit.
@whitehouse.senate.gov pushed the Senate to affirm that climate change is not a hoax. Shocking no one, a Republican objected.
This is the same EPA that believes your life isn't as valuable as Big Oil's business.
The Senate is ready to work on bipartisan permitting reform. Trump isn’t.
The Trump Administration will stop at nothing to help Big Oil. There’s no point in passing a bipartisan permitting bill if this corrupt Administration won’t faithfully execute the laws.
Despite the Trump Administration’s lies, wind and solar are some of the cheapest energy sources.
NEW: @whitehouse.senate.gov introduced 16 resolutions to formally acknowledge the harms of climate change and toxic air pollution. An industry corruptly denying the dangers doesn’t change the science. It’s a choice between truth and falsehood, and we want to put the Senate on record.
Trump’s assault on clean energy sinks permitting reform. There is no path to a bill if this administration refuses to follow the law. Trump will own higher electricity prices, aging infrastructure, & loss of U.S. competitiveness. @whitehouse.senate.gov & @heinrich.senate.gov's statement:
Statement from Kennedy Center ex-officio board members on Trump’s illegal effort to rename arts institution:
Add skyrocketing home insurance premiums to the many ways Trump is making life unaffordable for American families.
[EPW Dems reveal documents proving the Kennedy Center rented the entire complex to FIFA for $0.00] The Kennedy Center: NUH-UH it was $7.4 million, just believe us! EPW Dems: Okay, show us the documents. The Kennedy Center: *crickets*
