Natural Resources Committee Democrats

We’re just as perplexed as @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. House Republicans keep voting for a budget bill that kills the clean energy tax credits, which they themselves said would “result in a 10% increase in electricity costs for consumers by 2026.” End the war on clean, cheap energy. Kill the Bill.

The Republican budget will stick Americans with higher energy bills.

End the war on clean, cheap energy. Kill the Bill.

Huffman Statement on Senate Passage of the Big, Ugly Bill | The House Committee on Natural Resources House Committee on Natural Resources - Democrats

– Deliver everything Big Oil CEOs asked for after Trump begged them for campaign cash

All to bankroll billionaire tax breaks.

Read RM @rephuffman.bsky.social statement: democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/media/press-...

– Force taxpayers to subsidize dirty energy — even as it poisons our air and water
– Gut protections for coastal communities and cancel investments in weather and climate science — even as disasters get deadlier

🚨 Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s almost $4 TRILLION Big, Ugly Bill that will:
– Hike costs for clean energy while slashing fees for oil and gas
– Open up millions of acres of public lands to polluters, no questions asked

BREAKING: The National Park Service. And Interior Secretary Burgum doesn't even know about it.

@rephuffman.bsky.social, roll the tape:

The Trump administration is threatening to sell off YOUR public lands to the highest bidder, putting special places, local economies, and vacation plans in jeopardy. Read more here: www.americanprogress.org/article/see-...

Ranking Member Huffman Statement on 'Roadless Rule' Rescission | The House Committee on Natural Resources House Committee on Natural Resources - Democrats

🔗: democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/media/press-...

🚨 60 million acres of our wildest forests are under attack.

President Trump’s rollback of the Roadless Rule is a massive giveaway to billionaire polluters and the logging industry — and it will leave communities more vulnerable to wildfire, drought, and disaster.

YouTube video by Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez No More Foreign Mining Corporations Taking Our Public Lands for Free!

Foreign-owned mining corporations have been mining our public lands for free.

That ends now.

I just secured a commitment from Sec. Burgum to support my plan to finally make them pay up. youtube.com/shorts/u47F2...

Mining giants are extracting your public lands—for free.

No royalties. No cleanup. Just destruction.

TODAY, I’ll be asking Sec. Burgum why he’s standing with them and not the people.

📺 Tune in - @NRDems

👀Secretary Burgum just said Park Rangers are like soldiers who don’t get to question orders – even if Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz to “own the libs.”

That’s not how a democracy works. That’s how a king rules.

Republicans are pushing the same bill AGAIN that:
💸 Hikes your energy bills by hundreds
🌲 Sells out public lands to billionaire polluters
💡 Guts clean energy across the country

Republicans don’t want you to see what they’re doing.

They’re moving in the dead of night to sneak their GOP Tax Scam through, slashing healthcare for millions of Americans, selling off our public lands & handing more tax breaks to billionaires.

@rephuffman.bsky.social is calling them out 👇👇

Congress and the American people deserve to know if Elon Musk is enriching himself on the backs of taxpayers.

Earlier this week, House Republicans passed the most shameless anti-environment bill in US history, over the course of a 14 hour markup that went past 1am.

But the worst part? Rep. Amodei introduced an 11th hour amendment to give away public lands in Democratic districts.

Let’s be honest: the policies they’re pushing? LITERALLY straight out of Project 2025. The same plan they claimed they had nothing to do with. 

Now they’re writing them into law—gutting public lands, rejecting science, and handing out kickbacks to their corporate buddies.  

We’re fighting back!

House Republicans looked at America's biggest problems and decided the Gulf of Mexico needed a new name.

Bold priorities coming from the GOP.

We have a moral imperative to address climate change, which will have enormous impacts on the future we leave behind for our kids and beyond.

Today, at the @naturalresources.bsky.social hearing, I spoke out on the GOP's giveaway to Big Oil, the most sweeping attack on our environment in history.

House Republicans’ budget cuts national park funding, slashes clean air and water protections, and pushes the most extreme anti-environment bill in American history as the cherry on top.

Today, while Democrats called out this billionaire giveaway, House Republicans hid in their offices.

@congressmin.bsky.social is right- "the economic impacts of climate change are accelerating." While some in Congress want to kneecap clean energy and favor fossil fuels, @naturalresources.bsky.social are pushing back.

I’m using every single tool at my disposal to stop House Republicans’ Big Oil give away. Our children deserve better.

YouTube video by Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez Republicans Sacrifice Public Lands and Communities for Billionaire Tax Breaks

Today, Republicans are holding a yard sale for America’s backyard.

They're jamming through some of the nastiest environmental laws ever seen to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Why? Because they want to raise a billion dollars to pay for those tax cuts. youtube.com/shorts/UbLWw...

@rephuffman.bsky.social and
@naturalresources.bsky.social are fighting back against Republicans’ plans to give handouts to polluters and billionaires, strip community protections, and put our economy, our climate and our future at risk.

🔥 @repdexteror.bsky.social has a GREAT thread below here on just some of what Republicans are ramming through in their scorched-earth budget 👇👇👇

Everything about this Reconciliation bill in Natural Resources is a total lie. It’s bad for our:

- Economy
- Environment
- Communities

That’s why we’re prepared to sit here all day and fight it every step of the way.

I just discovered that the Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee traded stocks of oil and gas companies just as Republicans are about to pass a budget to benefit the very same companies.

The corruption is astounding.

YouTube video by Congressman Jared Huffman Republicans are pushing the most extreme anti-environment bill in American history

Today, Republicans are pushing the most extreme anti-environment bill in American history – betraying our public lands, clean air and water, and the American people in the process.

Then there was that time the Republicans didn’t stick around in committee for THEIR OWN reconciliation bill.

We’re motioning to adjourn on this ridiculous bill. #DemsShowUp!

I'm in the Natural Resources Committee to make sure our communities—not corporations—have a say in what happens to our public lands.

I won’t sit by while Republicans auction off our future. As a mother & a physician, I'm fighting for the clean air, safe water, & protected lands our kids deserve.
