#PollutersFirst
"You've only been at the EPA a few months, but in that time you've done more to dismantle this agency than any of your predecessors put together."

Thank you @schiff.senate.gov for calling out Lee Zeldin on his #PollutersFirst Agenda and cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Instead of protecting our health, Trump is putting #PollutersFirst and rolling back standards that protect us from mercury pollution.

I’m proud to join @mcclellan.house.gov, @reppaultonko.bsky.social, and over 70 colleagues in calling on the EPA to stop this rollback & keep our communities safe.

Stories like Sam's are becoming too common as climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather. And instead of taking action to protect us, Lee Zeldin's EPA continues to put #PollutersFirst.

Tell Zeldin he doesn't have our support: actionnetwork.org/petitions/op...

With our climate and our health on the line, thank you @ossoff.senate.gov for voting against efforts to roll back a waiver allowing states to adopt stronger pollution limits for cars. We need champions like you to fight this administration's #PollutersFirst agenda! @momscleanairforce.org

#ExtremeWeatherSZN brought to you by Trump and Lee Zeldin's #PollutersFirst Agenda.

Climate pollution is making heat waves more intense and frequent, exposing our communities to more dangerous heat - take action against Trump's rollbacks. #ExtremeWeatherWednesday actionnetwork.org/petitions/op...

Lee Zeldin is siding with wealthy corporate polluters over the American people—raising costs, worsening pollution, and putting our health and climate at risk.
 
That’s why I joined 180 of my colleagues to speak out and condemn his #PollutersFirst agenda: seec.house.gov/media/press-...

Instead of fulfilling its directive to protect the environment, Trump has redirected the EPA to protect big polluters, at the expense of American families' health and wealth.

I joined Democrats condemning and demanding an end to Trump's #PollutersFirst agenda.

This is like the fox asking for keys to the henhouse.

Trump’s #PollutersFirst Agenda strikes again - opening the door for polluters to dirty our air and damage our health.

"EPA's actions have made families worse off, ignored science, and eroded America's trust in your agency all for the benefit of polluters."

Thank you @senwhitehouse.bsky.social for calling out Lee Zeldin's shameful #PollutersFirst Agenda, which is illegally cancelling grants that protect us.

While American communities are facing a cost of living crisis and increasing energy prices, Republicans want to remove clean energy protections that lower costs. Thank you @congressmin.bsky.social for speaking on the importance of clean energy and how this bill is putting #PollutersFirst
June 10, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Energy demand is higher than ever and so are electricity prices. Trump and Congress' war on clean energy and worship of fossil fuels is driving prices up. Americans need to look no further than their own energy bills. We must say no to Trump’s #PollutersFirst agenda.

We showed up in our blue shirts at @epw.senate.gov's hearing on the EPA's disastrous proposed budget with a clear message: Lee Zeldin makes us sick.

From ignoring the science to leaving communities without key health protections, Zeldin is putting #PollutersFirst - at our expense.
May 21, 2025 at 6:35 PM
Lee Zeldin's #PollutersFirst agenda is clear: protect and enrich polluters, let the American people suffer.

Democrats in Congress won't stand for it. That's why I joined a total of 180 colleagues in calling out their harmful agenda: seec.house.gov/media/press-...

Thank you @senwhitehouse.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, and all of the other senators who supported this effort to stand up against the Trump administration's #PollutersFirst agenda that will only hurt our health, our wallets, and our climate.
NEWS: Ranking Member @whitehouse.senate.gov & @schumer.senate.gov lead 30 Democrats in opposing EPA's gutting of power plant regulations that protect us from toxic pollution.

The Trump Administration is poisoning people & putting us on the fast track to climate change-driven economic disaster.

EPIC coverage of the damage being done by Lee Zeldin's #PollutersFirst agenda. Congrats EPN!
Trump’s EPA aims to roll back 30+ environmental rules.

AP’s analysis:
➡️ +25,000 deaths a year
➡️ +2.8B tons CO₂ by 2035
➡️ Billions in lost health benefits

The cost of reversing science-backed protections is deadly. Read the full AP story: buff.ly/WVyuJHU #SaveEPA

"How can the EPA produce unbiased science and data, including data we desperately need in Arizona, if you fire most of the scientists at EPA’s office of research and development?"

Thank you Senator Kelly for calling out how Zeldin is putting #PollutersFirst over scientists.

🚨URGENT ACTION: Trump’s EPA wants to remove limits on carbon, mercury and air toxics, a move that puts #PollutersFirst.

Thank you @reppaultonko.bsky.social for your consistent commitment to standing up to Trump's #PollutersFirst Agenda and to fighting back against all of the attacks on our climate, health, wallets, and communities these first 100 days. #100Days100Harms
In 100 days in office, Trump has undone decades of safeguards to clean air and water, fired thousands of experts who help keep our communities healthy & raised energy costs for working Americans—all to bankroll giveaways to polluters.

I'm fighting back against this harmful agenda.

Thank you @alsobrooks.senate.gov for holding Administrator Zeldin accountable to distribute funds allocated by Congress to vital programs. While Zeldin would rather put #PollutersFirst, Senator Alsobrooks is fighting for a healthy environment!
