BREAKING: Virginia Gov. Youngkin (R) has withdrawn the state from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which targets carbon emissions from power plants.
Impeccable timing on a day where the East Coast is enveloped in smoke from Canadian wildfires.
Absolutely shameful.

- The only way we can save our planet is to elect strong leaders who will advance just & equitable solutions to the climate crisis. Thatโs why LCVAF is proud to endorse @JoeBiden for President and work together to protect our families' health and future.
- A new era of #ClimateAction is starting. With Majority Leader @SenSchumerโs commitment to bold, urgent climate action, the Senate can finally take the lead on legislation to address the climate crisis and environmental justice.โThe Senate will forcefully, consistently, and urgently address the greatest threat to this country, and to our planetโclimate change." - Senate Majority(!) Leader Chuck Schumer
00:00 - Thanks @BetoORourke for discussing your ambitious plan to #ActOnClimate. The next president must be ready to go on day one. #ChangetheClimate2020 #CNNTownHallBeto's bold climate plan mobilizes $5 trillion โ spurred by the largest investment towards fighting climate change in history โ and guarantees we achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 while getting halfway there by 2030. #CNNTownHall
00:00 - This election offers our last, best chance to address the climate crisis. We commend @BetoORourke for offering this detailed climate plan. All #2020 candidates must put forward ambitious plans to address the crisis on day one of a new presidency. #ChangeTheClimate2010
- We shouldn't even need to say this, but we agree @ewarren, "No coal lobbyists for head of the EPA." #ChangeTheClimate2020 #WarrenTownHall
- LCVAF is honored to endorse @TeamPelosi in her re-election campaign to represent #CA12. As the most pro-environment Speaker in history, Speaker Pelosi has led the fight against Trumpโs anti-environment agenda and her leadership is critical to boldly and justly #ActOnClimate.
- "We have to face the reality of science. Time is running out." @SpeakerPelosi is absolutely right. And the fires in the West are just the latest #ClimateCrisis signal โ the exhaustion of our firefighters, collapsing ecosystems, & rising seas are evidence of decades of inaction.
00:00 - .@BernieSandersโ Green New Deal focuses on creating family-sustaining jobs in the clean energy economy & investing in frontline communities. Sanders outlines a plan to #ActOnClimate, decarbonize power & transportation sectors by 2030 and achieve net zero climate pollution by 2050
- ๐๐ What a crew of environmental champs.๐๐ Weโre already seeing the change that having a pro-environment majority can and will have on our countryโs ability to #ActOnClimate and seek #EnvironmentalJustice - we're excited to see what's next.I couldnโt be more proud of our newest Democratic Senators: The Majority Makers!
- .@PeteButtigieg's Mobilizing America: Rising to the Climate Challenge Plan outlines a path to reach net-zero climate pollution by 2050 while creating 3 million high-paying jobs in the clean energy economy & making commitments to frontline communities to achieve a just transition
- Congratulations @valdemings! Rep. Demings is a strong supporter of climate action and environmental justice, and has worked to protect the Everglades from drilling and strengthen solar energy infrastructure in Florida. #LCVAF is proud to support her for #FLSen in November.
- BIG: @HouseDemocrats have passed the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act, which protects working families against price gouging. It's unacceptable that Big Oil continues to collect record profits while #RippingOffAmericans. The Senate must pass this bill ASAP.
- โClimate change is not just happening on the coastsโฆ Itโs happening everywhere and itโs happening now.โ @PeteButtigieg will discuss his plans to #ActOnClimate at tonight's #ClimateTownHall at 10 pm EDT.
