The Trump administration’s plan to cut 65% of EPA staff threatens decades of environmental progress, jeopardizing clean air, water, and public health.
The EPA saves hundreds of thousands of lives by reducing pollution.
This won’t make America great—it will make America sicker.

Imagine: Inflation falls as families unshackle from volatile FFs. GDP booms by hundreds of billions per year, creating millions of new jobs paying good wages. GHG emissions plummet. newsweek.com/biden-harris-cl… It's up to us to make it happen. With love, from me & @AdrianDeveny

The argument of Project 2025—that we must choose between climate action and economic growth—is a false choice.
It simply doesn’t hold up.

Trump “I will end the electric vehicle mandate on Day One.”
The rhetoric crashes into reality – there is no federal electric vehicle mandate and even if there were one, he can’t repeal any environmental regulation on his first day

New modeling from @EnergyInnovLLC this morning finds that:
- Continued Climate Leadership adds 2.2 million jobs in 2030 & 2.1 million jobs in 2050
- Project 2025 leads to 1.7 million lost jobs in 2030 & 260,000 lost jobs in 2050.

Sobering findings!
The estimated cost of climate inaction on a child born this year will be at least $500K,
with the potential to be as high as $1 million over their lifetime.

Last Friday, the EPA finalized the strongest-ever GHG standards for medium and heavy-duty trucks preventing 1 billion tons of carbon pollution.
This is important for Americans’ and the planet’s health.
Hope truck manufacturers & fleets will support it!

The Biden admin has announced a regulation designed to turbocharge sales of electric heavy-duty vehicles like school buses, moving vans, delivery trucks, and garbage trucks. These standards will deliver significant health, economic, and climate benefits.

EPA's clean car standards will be the single most important climate regulation in the nations history.
Please read my Forbes oped "EPA’s New Clean Car Rules Will Make People, The Planet, And Auto Manufactures Healthier" bit.ly/49c7Zkk

New ads on EPA's proposed car emissions standards are scare tactics, writes @margotoge.
Let's focus on the facts: performance-based goals NOT a gasoline car ban, but would move the US towards cleaner air & a $$$ net benefit! 💪#CleanAir #EmissionsStandards
