Chuck Schumer retweeting NYTimes coverage +++++

This Congress will work for bold action to reduce carbon pollution and create millions of jobs in the new clean energy economy.#EarthDay https://t.co/SNL4gs11mt

Democrats are working for big, bold climate action now!

I will work with @POTUS to pass the #AmericanJobsPlan—a big, bold bill that will create jobs, invest in infrastructure, and help combat climate change.#EarthDay https://t.co/gmdiR3nf0N

@benstracy has been doing such thoughtful and fascinating reporting on all things climate. Thank you for your time today! https://t.co/j3gNqVKlzu

seems like nearly every congressperson did at least one Earth Day tweet, here's just a few:

Climate related disasters have displaced an average of 20 million people each year over the past decade. As the climate crisis worsens this number will only continue to rise. We must establish a national strategy to address this crisis & support climate-displaced persons. pic.twitter.com/sVoGFlMI6w

Thank you @GretaThunberg for testifying before the House Oversight Environment Subcommittee today and for answering my questions about how we can both protect the environment & create jobs. As you said, “climate justice is social justice.” pic.twitter.com/kRVNGZxh39

Happy #EarthDay!

Here’s a friendly reminder from this morning’s committee hearing that investing in sustainable energy sources now makes more financial sense than spending billions to repair fossil fuel infrastructure after each climate disaster. pic.twitter.com/EsLoNqlQ2K

No parent should have to worry about their child suffering from long-term neurological impairments as a result of mercury exposure.

On #EarthDay, I'm proud to introduce legislation with @SenatorCollins that would monitor and ultimately reduce mercury pollution. https://t.co/3PHE92R3Y5

Fighting the climate crisis isn’t just the right thing to do for future Americans, it’s good economics. That’s why Frank introduced the CLEAN Future Act to ensure we reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.https://t.co/G7q6qvuH6P

Trump’s border wall is an environmental catastrophe. Thanks to @NBCNews for covering our efforts to repair the damage, restore the land & tear the most harmful sections of wall down for good. Full segment here: https://t.co/OTmkZBoXHt pic.twitter.com/r4oxCOXZPi

Coal miners join climate activists to back Biden's $2 trillion infrastructure plan

We now know that the pressure groups themselves would become the connective tissue of a new kind of party network, leading to today’s politics where the coal miner union endorses Biden’s climate plan.https://t.co/L7sFLMV1Zr

^ goes with this:

is the climate beef saga a sign the right can't land an attack on Biden or is it a sign that misinformation has taken root among more of the electorate than you are presuming
— Astead (@AsteadWesley) April 27, 2021

"working-class roots" Joe as prez stealing some of their thunder, so they have to do the "but I want my beef!" angle with Joe Sixpack. Some political operative thought this one up, I'm sure. But he/she is still thinking "Reagan Dems" as if time hadn't changed.

Another great policy win by @ossoff, who focuses on the details in legislation and is using his power effectively. pic.twitter.com/8Qet3FqGZh
