Our fishing communities, working waterfronts, and coastal towns need the best science available to understand rapidly changing ocean conditions and prepare for what is coming.
Ignoring the climate crisis won't make it go away. It just makes us less prepared for what comes next.

Trump’s decision to dismantle the Ocean Observatories Initiative is incredibly shortsighted.
This network provides real-time data on ocean warming, marine heat waves, coastal flooding, fishery health, and powerful currents that shape our climate.
Maine will feel the impacts of losing this data.
This reporting confirms what many have suspected all along: that these cancellations had nothing to do with rooting out “waste, fraud, and abuse,” and everything to do with targeting programs that actually help people of color.
Back in March, USDA terminated $300 million in grants that helped underserved farmers.
They say the money was being used for frivolous expenses. But many recipients are scratching their heads. Not only do they know nothing about these alleged purchases; the expenses have ZERO to do with the grant!
Chilly ferry ride! Heading to DC for a busy week:
🔴War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal war (Republicans can’t run away this time!)
🔴 Interior + Environment markup, where we’ll fight Trump’s looting of NPS for his vanity projects
🔴 More lies and craziness, no doubt
Let’s get to work.
Happy #Pride! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇸
Not only will these rollbacks harm people and communities; they'll put enormous financial pressure on states.
We’ll keep fighting this anti-science Administration tooth and nail. And we won’t stop until the EPA returns to its mission of protecting people and the planet—not the profits of polluters.
BIG fight ahead on EPA funding and the agency’s ridiculous rollbacks on toxic chemicals.
PFAS in drinking water.
Delayed compliance on vehicle emissions and pollution from coal-fired plants.
Postponing regulations on efficient refrigerators.
Republicans want to give the green light to ALL of it.
Checking in on the President, who doesn’t seem to be taking the news very well…throwing a little tantrum!
Trump tried to slap his name on the Kennedy Center like it was one of his tacky hotels.
Today a federal judge made clear what we've said all along: He had no legal authority to do it.
The Kennedy Center belongs to the American people. Now and always.
How fitting that today is JFK’s birthday!
We mark up the Interior + Environment funding bill next week, and you can be damn sure @democrats-appropriations.house.gov will be fighting back hard against this gross abuse of taxpayer dollars.
Trump and his vanity projects are completely out of control.
This week, we learned he’s raiding NPS entrance fee revenue to help pay for his tacky vanity projects around DC.
Meanwhile, parks like Acadia are facing real maintenance backlogs, which is exactly what that money is supposed to help fix.
DHS is working overtime to spin insane propaganda about the conditions in these facilities.
I've been inside. People are being held in conditions that are dangerous, dehumanizing, and, in too many cases, deadly.
Congress needs answers. And ICE must be held accountable before more lives are lost.
Since October, at least 7 people detained by ICE have died by suicide—a number that “far exceeds the growth of the detainee population."
51 have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. Experts believe many of these deaths could've been prevented.
It's horrifying. And it demands investigation.
From Day One of this Administration, Trump has treated the DOJ like his personal law firm and police force.
This is authoritarianism—pure and simple.
How much longer will Republicans allow him to get away with this!?!? (3/3)
If anyone deserves a redress of grievances from a government that’s abused its power for political retaliation, it's:
E. Jean Caroll
James Comey
Tish James
John Brennan
Adam Schiff
Mark Kelly
Maggie Goodlander
Elissa Slotkin
Jason Crow
Chris Deluzio
Chrissy Houlahan
And many more. (2/3)
Trump’s DOJ is going after the woman who credibly—and successfully—sued him for sexual assault.
Let that sink in.
Accusing Joe Biden of “weaponizing” government, then creating a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” for Trump's cronies, might be the most Orwellian thing they've done. (1/3)
Between its dismantling of USAID and pulling us out of the World Health Organization (remember that?), this Administration is setting us up for disaster.
It’ll take decades to undo the damage they've done. But we will rebuild and recommit ourselves to ensuring America remains a true force for good.
Remember when Musk + DOGE took a wrecking ball to USAID?
Health experts and aid researchers estimate that between 600,000 and 760,000 people have died as a result of that cruel and reckless decision.
Now we’re seeing the Ebola virus spread at an alarming rate.
This is a *very* sobering interview.
The right loves to slap the word “socialism” on anything that helps working people.
Public schools. Health care. Basic services people rely on every day.
The government has a role to play in making sure the system actually works for working people, not just billionaires and corporations.
