America's 250th birthday should be a moment that brings us together. Unfortunately, what should be a nonpartisan celebration has become a growing scandal: secrecy, political favoritism, and the diversion of significant taxpayer funds and resources to Freedom 250. ow.ly/sukL50ZjKPI

The House voted to remove troubling language that aimed to shield chemical manufacturers from lawsuits related to harm caused by their products — a move that received bipartisan support. Thank you to everyone who reached out to your representatives. Your voice made a difference!

The Forest Service's research program has existed since 1915 and is critical to addressing the growing threats to forest health from wildfires, disease, and climate change. Without agency scientists, these threats don't disappear. They just go undetected.

🌎 These are the stories of federal workers impacted by plans to shut down EPA’s environmental justice offices. They’re speaking out about the importance of environmental justice at EPA, but have asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation.
