Trump opposed disaster aid for Texas flood survivors. He changed his mind only after his buddy Greg Abbott was fighting in a tight governor's race. Disaster relief shouldn't have to depend on who's up for reelection.

On Wednesday night, as much as 10 inches of rain fell overnight in North Georgia, causing devastating flooding and prompting dozens of water rescues. @NWS is calling this a "1 in 1,000-year rainfall event" - and climate change is making rare rainfall events like these less rare.

Climate change is hitting our wallets, threatening our health, and putting lives at risk. Now, extreme weather is even disrupting our ability to vote: This week, severe storms and flooding disrupted polling locations in Florida, Oklahoma, and Utah.

The Trump administration has propped up nearly half of this country's coal plants through cash handouts, free passes to pollute and more.
Curious about which of these dirty, costly plants have received support? Check out @EnvDefenseFund's new tool at coalcosts.edf.org

Halloween is tomorrow, but the real horror is the EPA’s plan to roll back pollution standards. We trick-or-treated at the EPA to deliver 94,000+ public comments urging the agency to protect our communities. Thanks to everyone who commented and showed up!
Southwest floods forced hundreds to evacuate; damage could hit hundreds of millions. Record-warm waters, from El Niño and a climate-driven marine heat wave, helped fuel the extreme rain.

Hundreds of Californians joined our No Denying Climate Change Town Hall with @rephuffman last week. The message was clear: we’re tired of climate denial and ready for action. Extreme weather isn’t slowing down, but neither are we.

This Halloween, the real scare is the cost of fossil fuels. Join us at the EPA on Oct 30 at noon to deliver public comments opposing the rollback of power plant pollution standards. Costumes encouraged, signs provided! RSVP: mobilize.us/climateactioncam…

Southeastern Arizona got half a month’s worth of rain in 6 hours, part of a series of storms that drenched the Southwest this week. Warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, so climate change is making extreme rainfall like this more likely. cnn.com/2026/10/21/weather/v…

From 2020 through April 2026, at least 36 utilities in 18 states increased customer bills to recover the costs of extreme weather damage, our new report - released today - found. Utilities must choose clean, affordable energy over costly fossil fuels.

The Trump administration joined a Supreme Court brief urging review of the 2024 soot standard, which a federal appeals court upheld. EPA projected the standard would save 4,500 lives in 2032 alone. Clean air protections should stay. subscriber.politicopro.com/a…

Rep. Steven Horsford says energy is never just a monthly bill. It’s who breathes clean air and who shares in clean technology. In a new op-ed for The Root, he warns rollbacks hit Black communities from both directions: more pollution, fewer clean alternatives. @RepHorsford

A hockey player at Arizona State is on life support after collapsing during a team workout in near-90-degree heat. No federal heat safety rules exist for sports, and climate change is making extreme heat more common. Protect athletes from the heat. grist.org/extreme-heat/extre…
Rep. Debbie Dingell is calling out the administration’s energy policies: 400+ clean energy projects canceled or stalled, nearly 146,000 Michigan jobs at risk, and bills still climbing. Michigan deserves reliable, affordable clean energy and good union jobs. @RepDebDingell

Americans are projected to spend an average of $1,030 to heat their homes this winter, $82 more than last year. The average LIHEAP benefit last year was just $467. Families deserve lower energy bills. wbaltv.com/article/liheap-be…

Mississippi's emergency management agency says its disaster trust fund is down to $6.7 million and won't last to June. The state has already spent $86 million matching FEMA aid after Winter Storm Fern. States shouldn't be left to cover the gap alone. mississippitoday.org/2026/10…

Workers are still waiting on a federal heat rule. OSHA now plans a supplemental proposal in December 2026 and final action in October 2027, and reports suggest it could weaken protections. Workers can't wait through another summer. blogs.edf.org/climate411/202…

A new Nature Geoscience study finds Antarctica's ice loss this century is locked in, even if warming is held to 1.5°C, and extra snowfall won't make a difference. Every ton of greenhouse gas we avoid still means less sea level rise. Cut emissions now. theconversation.com/antarcti…

Across the contiguous US, September 2026 was the warmest September on record, dating back to at least 1895. Another month, another record. It will keep happening until we act on climate. washingtonpost.com/weather/2…
