Mike Pence is for conversion therapy. Mike Pence said smoking didn’t cause cancer. Mike Pence doesn’t believe climate science. Mike Pence questioned whether or not condoms worked. So, 😬

Today’s the day! The House will vote to #ProtectTheArctic and Arctic wildlife from destructive oil drilling.

President Trump and his crony cabinet are waging a war on science with sharpies — and threatening reprisals against scientists for doing their jobs. In a place as special as the #Arctic Coastal Plain, this is a recipe for disaster. #ProtecttheArctic

Detonating a carbon bomb by drilling the Arctic Refuge while simultaneously chopping down our nation’s largest old growth forest will lock the U.S.— and the world– into future carbon pollution that would be devastating to our planet. See my WaPo OpEd: beta.washingtonpost.com/opin…

BREAKING: House draws a line in the sand and votes to block drilling in the Atlantic, Pacific and Eastern Gulf of Mexico with bipartisan majorities.

WE DID IT! The House just passed #HR1941, my bipartisan bill to ban offshore drilling. This is for all the folks in the Lowcountry who made their voices heard again and again - and forced Washington to listen! I’m so proud to carry your message to DC!

Last week we celebrated LWCF's 55th anniversary and the amazing public lands it has protected. Now this week we need Congress to #FundLWCF!

"Each year $900 million is designated for this program but Congress has only fully funded it twice in its 50-plus years of existence, diverting $22 billion away from protecting our beautiful natural places." @SophiaHullEnvNJ @EverettHerald #FundLWCF

Today's @IPCC_CH report makes clear #PublicLands like the Arctic Nat'l Wildlife Refuge can and should play a critical role in the climate fight. Instead of drilling for more oil, we must #ActOnClimate NOW before our window closes! #ProtectTheArctic ipcc.ch/report/srccl/

A new study, published in the journal Earth’s Future, finds that California’s fire outbreak is real—and that it’s being driven by climate change.
We must #ActOnClimate to save communities.

Thank you @RepBlumenauer and @RubenGallego for sponsoring amendment #64 to end wasteful taxpayer subsidies for logging in the Tongass National Forest. This amendment will save taxpayers $$$ millions and #ProtectTheTongass from expensive and destructive roadbuilding.

An Alaskan judge blocked drilling off the Alaskan shore -- but the Trump administration has appealed that ruling so they can continue with plans to widely expand dirty and dangerous offshore #drilling. thehill.com/policy/energy-en…

This is a sad day for democracy. Leader McConnell and @SenateGOP just shortened debate time for executive nominees from 30 hours to 2 hours. 2 hours is not nearly enough time to properly vet nominees to these important posts.
