No industry should receive a blanket exemption from accountability under the law. I'm urging Congress to reject Big Oil's immunity proposal and stand with states, taxpayers, and the rule of law — not special protections for powerful corporations.
Governor JB Pritzker joined nine fellow governors from across the country urging Congress to reject federal legislation that would grant sweeping legal protections to fossil fuel companies and limit the authority of states and local governments to enforce their own laws.Governor JB Pritzker joined nine fellow governors from across the country urging Congress to reject federal legislation that would grant sweeping legal protections to fossil fuel companies and limit the authority of states and local governments to enforce their own laws.Governor JB Pritzker joined nine fellow governors from across the country urging Congress to reject federal legislation that would grant sweeping legal protections to fossil fuel companies and limit the authority of states and local governments to enforce their own laws.

If you’re against immunity for polluting corporations that *knowingly* fueled the climate crisis – we’re talking Exxon’s own scientists – comment #MakePollutersPay below. www.exxonknews.org/p/this-new-bill-…

What happens when powerful industries dodge accountability? On a new #HealthyClimateAmerica episode, @iylas.bsky.social breaks down the push for Big Oil immunity, what it would mean for our communities, and how health professionals can respond. 🎧️ bit.ly/HealthyClimateAmerica @climateintegrity.org

Any DC consultant who says we should throw trans kids or immigrants under the bus should be purged from the party payroll. We do not sell people out. Because a politics that is willing to sell anyone out will eventually sell everyone out.

My major new legislation, the Affordable Insurance and Climate Recovery Act, authorizes California's attorney general to sue fossil fuel companies and hold them accountable for the increased insurance costs they've caused. Stay tuned.

People can’t afford home insurance, and Big Oil is to blame. "States need every tool available to protect their residents, including the ability to make the big oil corporations most responsible for this mess pay their fair share of the rising costs," said CCI's @iylas.bsky.social.

Thank you to NY State Senator Brian Kavanagh for inviting me to testify about the importance of making Big Oil pay their fair share of a crisis they knowingly perpetuated.

California’s “insurer of last resort” is proposing a 36% rate hike after catastrophic wildfires caused billions in losses. Big Oil is fueling this crisis. It's time for policymakers to protect Californians by making these companies "pay for the damage they’ve caused," says CCI's @iylas.bsky.social.

Do you think the fossil fuel industry should be above the law? For months now, we’ve heard rumblings of Big Oil companies lobbying Congress for a get-out-of-jail free card. But in the last few weeks, their allies have started to say the quiet part out loud. CCI's @iylas.bsky.social explains.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

...it is actually the party’s centrist establishment, not its progressive wing, that’s most likely to violate the maxim of “Vote Blue No Matter Who.”

Centrist Democrats Are the Actual Traitors to Their Party
While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

With regard to Big Oil's efforts to downplay the dangers posed by a climate change: “My reaction was shock and disbelief,” she said. “It actually felt more personal. Like a punch to the gut.”

NEW: Big Oil and the plastics industry market “advanced recycling” as a solution to the plastic waste crisis. But their claims are undermined by their own words and experts. Our new report shows how "advanced recycling" is a deceptive industry ploy to keep producing more plastic.

Big Oil --> climate crisis --> insurance crisis once again... Big Oil pays nothing

Here it comes. Not so thinly veiled efforts to grant legal protections for oil companies who KNEW (since the 1960s) and LIED (for decades) about their role in perpetuating the climate crisis. All while communities suffer the catastrophic consequences these companies knew would occur. Sickening.

Under a California bill that @scottwiener.bsky.social introduced last week, insurance companies would have a clear path to take Big Oil to court to recover losses — instead of raising rates on policyholders. More ▶️ sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/la-turn... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’m introducing legislation (SB 222) to ensure oil companies pay for the climate-fueled disasters that are burning & flooding California. Californians are bearing these costs with explosive insurance premium increases that make CA less affordable. That has to change.🧵
