In addition to today’s Senate vote, the House will likely vote tomorrow on a War Powers Resolution.

We need to make it clear that if our Members of Congress don’t act to halt Trump’s illegal war with Iran, they will own the fallout. Make sure your elected officials hear from you.

CLIMATEWIRE | The Trump administration's plan to dismantle a major scientific research center could cause property insurance prices to increase across the country, according to an industry group representing actuaries. The warning adds a new dimension to the potential breakup of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, whose climate data is used by the insurance industry to help predict financial losses and set rates. "We're incredibly reliant on curated and unbiased data sets available to the public," said Peter Ott, who leads a research committee at the American Academy of Actuaries. The academy said in a recent letter that disrupting the center would "undermine the stability and affordability of insurance." The White House budget office stunned the scientific world when it announced in December that it would break up the federally funded center, which budget director Russell Vought called "one of the largest sources of climate alarmism." The move is among an array of steps taken by the Trump administration to dismantle programs aimed at addressing climate change.

Climate denial is expensive!

The American Academy of Actuaries warns that closing the National Center for Atmospheric Research — which the Trump regime calls “one of the largest sources of climate alarmism" — would lead to higher prices for home insurance and thus for housing itself.

A year later, experts say full effect of DOGE cuts may never be known The full effects of DOGE cuts to tens of thousands of federal contracts and agreements may never be fully known, experts say, and controversy lingers.

1 year ago, Elon Musk stood at the White House defending sweeping federal cuts under DOGE.

Now experts say we may never fully know the true impact.

64 agencies affected.
Millions of people impacted.
Hundreds of lawsuits ongoing.

What did these cuts actually cost?

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

This is what we believe campaigning on banks and fossil fuels needs to look like moving forward: pushing large, powerful institutions that care about the climate crisis to pick a side.

To get involved or learn more, shoot us a DM.

How local governments can protect and advance climate action from US Banks Banks continue to invest in fossil fuels November 24, 2025 Op-ed by Mark Pinsley, Controller, Lehigh County, PN and Alec Connon, Stop the Money Pipeline coalition director In recent weeks, we’ve ha…

If progressive cities and states, such as Berkeley committed to only working with banks that have climate targets and/or don’t finance fossil fuels, it would send a massive market signal about the costs of financing new fossil fuels.

protectearth.news/how-local-go...

The City of Berkeley, for example, paid Wells Fargo $570,000 in fees to underwrite a municipal bond in 2025.

Even though the City has previously committed to cutting ties with Wells Fargo – and even though Wells Fargo is the *only* bank to have dropped its 2030 and 2050 climate targets.

Another strategy that would have a real impact?

Getting local and state governments that care about the climate crisis to stop hiring banks without clear climate targets to underwrite their municipal bonds.

That’s why we’re going to keep pushing Costco to break up with Citi when its current contract expires.

But we’ll only win this campaign if you, and your friends and more Costco members get involved.
