What a haul! Join us as we unbox the Trump administration’s giveaways to the coal industry.
POV: Your lawyer friend gets to talk about her favorite transparency law!
EDF Senior Attorney Erin Murphy discusses the Federal Advisory Committee Act and how this law is shedding a light on the Trump administration's repeal of bedrock environmental policies.
Coal is dirty, unreliable and costing Americans millions.
We prefer our air without toxins, thanks!
The Trump administration repealed the lifesaving Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, which limit harmful pollution coming from coal-fired power plants.

The Trump administration’s repeal of the Endangerment Finding puts our health and safety at risk, as Virginia residents have experienced firsthand. Read more in @pilotonline.com's editorial.

.@sun-sentinel.com Editorial Board opposes the Trump administration’s repeal of the Endangerment Finding: www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/02/20/b...
“Repealing the endangerment finding would result in $57 billion worth of additional fuel costs and over $12 billion in additional health costs by 2055 for Keystone State residents.” Learn how this repeal harms PA residents in new editorial from @inquirer.com

Winning too much? President Trump didn't mention his losing record on public health and the environment. But his actions could cause:
- 18 billion more metric tons of climate pollution
- 58,000 more premature deaths
- 37 million more asthma attacks
- $500 billion in health harms
Believe this: Household electricity bills are up 13 percent since the start of President Trump’s second term.
"One year into the second Trump presidency, the state of our union is worse off than it was before. It's worse off environmentally, and it's certainly worse off in terms of the costs that the American people are paying," EDF Action President David Kieve tells @publicnewsservice.bsky.social
The Trump administration claims that climate pollution is not a threat to our health and wellbeing. But worsening air quality, extreme weather events and skyrocketing insurance premiums indicate otherwise.
The Trump administration's attempt to repeal the Endangerment Finding has been shrouded in secrecy. Americans deserve better. We expect lawmakers to put our health and wellbeing first.
Don't get it twisted. The Trump administration just showed us—very clearly—what its priorities really are. It's not your health and safety.
Unlimited climate pollution is catastrophic for our health and wallets, as Rep. Castor's Florida community knows well.
Climate-altering pollution is making hurricanes worse, temperatures more extreme and insurance premiums skyrocket. Trump's EPA just gave up its power to regulate these pollutants.
The Trump administration acts like what we don't know can't hurt us. Texans know better.
We've seen how hurricanes, heat waves, and other extreme weather harm Texans. No justification for Trump trying to repeal our most important protections.
Rep. Carter says what we're all thinking: is Trump trying to make us sicker?
The Trump administration repealed the finding that climate pollution is a danger to human health. This decision attempts to leave the EPA powerless to limit pollutants that threaten the health of people and communities.
The EPA exists to protect Americans, not enrich polluters. The Trump admin. thinks otherwise.
Trump's EPA rescinded the Endangerment Finding, trying to leave the agency powerless to limit emissions. As Rep. Summer Lee says, more pollution means more asthma, COPD and other respiratory illnesses.
Are they just making up awards now?
Today, President Trump received the first-ever "Undisputed Champion of Coal" award. Why? For sacrificing reliable and affordable clean energy to prop up a dying industry.
On a blue graphic, yellow text reads "Trump's base supports solar. Why doesn't he?" A subheading follows: "GOP voters want energy independence and affordable electric bills, new polling shows." A photo shows a hand casting a vote into a ballot box, with a sun and checkmark on the ballot in yellow.
On a blue graphic with a blue-tinted photo of President Trump, text reads: "A recent Axios survey of 800 registered GOP voters found that a majority favor utility-scale solar. But Trump is moving in the opposite direction, delaying solar projects through complex permitting processes. Even his top allies are weighing in." A screenshot shows a tweet from Katie Miller in which she shares the Axios polling results and claims "Solar energy is the energy of the future."
On a blue graphic with a blue-tinted photo of someone installing solar panels, text reads "Trump and his administration are giving fossil fuel companies permission to pollute while stalling cheaper and cleaner renewable options. Americans want clean and affordable energy."
A majority of Republican voters support solar projects, new Axios polling shows. So why is Trump blocking these affordable energy projects? www.axios.com/2026/02/04/t...
What is the Trump administration's secret "Climate Working Group"? And why does it matter for government transparency? Legal expert Erin Murphy weighs in.
This court ruling is a win for all Americans.
Last week, a Republican-appointed judge ruled that the administration violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act by convening a secret group of climate skeptics to shape public policy.
Can't argue with the numbers. Trump's assault on clean energy is costing Americans their jobs, their wages and their rising electricity bills. The solution is simple: stop blocking wind and solar projects.

Chat, are toxic chemicals only dangerous if you consume them? House Republicans seem to think so. They're proposing to weaken the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the law protecting Americans against the most harmful chemicals. Their goal is to take us back 50 years.
Wisconsinites' energy bills: Sky high. Why? "The president's budget bill, which cut tax credits for development of clean energy, winds up having a real negative impact on what people pay," says EDF Action's David Kieve at PNS. tinyurl.com/3zcdbt8z
New Yorkers face rising energy costs while the president denies affordability crisis. "They look at their own bills. They look at their own lived experience. They see costs increasing for them," says EDF Action's David Kieve at PNS News. tinyurl.com/4ebz953w
Donald Trump said he'd cut energy prices in half within 12 months, but they're up 13%, we write with Latino Victory in York Dispatch. The truth will matter this November. tinyurl.com/49a48w39
