The Trump Admin is using the government shutdown to cancel energy funding so that your utility bills go up.

A Trump shutdown completely meant to enrich Billionaires! All at your expense.

Map of the United States with states shaded to show national park impacts from the government shutdown. Red states indicate parks or facilities restricted or closed: Maine, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Wyoming. Black states indicate sites or parks left abandoned without staff or services. Large headline text reads: “Republicans’ Government Shutdown Leaves Parks Empty and Closed.” Subtext reads: “Across the country, national parks are either closed or left without staff, rangers, or services.”

Republicans forced a government shutdown.

Now national parks across the country are closed, abandoned, and without rangers.

The world lost a beloved voice for nature today.

Trump and Republicans don’t want government to work for you, they want it to work only for their billionaire buddies.

Thousands of public servants are being forced out and more mass firings are on the way. They're doing everything they can to make sure you won't get the services you're owed.

Congrats to Chunk!!

He’s clearly more qualified to be President than the guy who can’t even keep the government open without driving up healthcare costs.

Republicans control the government and refused to negotiate.

They own this shutdown.

They're cutting healthcare and abandoning our national parks.

They wanted this.

.@rephuffman.bsky.social Trump just ordered the Park Service to remove signs and exhibits relating to slavery. What the hell is going on here?

It is pure propaganda. It's un-American.

Wildland firefighters are getting sick and dying from smoke exposure.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social demanded better protective gear to keep them safe — and now it's finally on the way.

U.S. Wildfire Fighters to Mask Up After Decades-Long Ban on Smoke Protections

🔗Full story here: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

Screenshot of The New York Times headline: “U.S. Wildfire Fighters to Mask Up After Decades-Long Ban on Smoke Protections.” Subheadline reads: “The Forest Service is reversing course as it faces growing pressure over workers falling ill with cancer and lung disease. The move is part of a flurry of changes to aid firefighters.”

For decades, wildfire crews breathed toxic smoke without protection.

Thanks to pressure from @housedemocrats.bsky.social, the Forest Service is ending its mask ban.

80,000 N95 masks are now stocked and headed to the frontlines of America’s largest wildfires.

👀 @rephuffman.bsky.social on GOP's latest scheme to silence communities, gut environmental protections & shield billionaire polluters:

"Who is this legislation actually for? This bill is for corporate polluters & Big Oil donors so they can keep padding their pockets at the expense of Americans."

Diana Furchtgott-Roth — an architect of Project 2025 — just admitted under oath that Republicans’ plan “will cost jobs.” 
 
Trump’s agenda is an attack on good-paying jobs, clean, affordable energy, and working families.

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.
