Thank you, @BillHagertyTN & @timkaine for your support of the #STREAMAct. New jobs, clean water, healthier communities -- there's lots of reasons to love this bipartisan bill. Time for the Senate to advance it ASAP!
Asking Joe Manchin what's in the dirty back door "Permitting Deal" leadership is trying to ram through Congress at the expense of our laws and communities. They're telling us it's a done deal --> also won't share what's in it! #stopMVP #StopTheDirtyDeal
Hope to see you virtually if you aren't in DC today! #stopMVP #stopthedirtydeal

This has nothing to do with coal mining or Appalachia, but you should watch it anyway.

"This is an important change. That’s why the Black Lung Association fought so hard for it & raised our voices to let @Sen_JoeManchin know we were counting on him. He did listen, not only securing a long-term extension, but a permanent one" #BlackLungKills wvgazettemail.com/opinion/op_ed_…
NEW: We are proud to be one of 80+ organizations calling on @Sen_JoeManchin @SenJohnBarrasso @SenMikeLee @SenCortezMasto to advance the popular, bipartisan #STREAMAct to help clean up water polluted by #AcidMineDrainage. appvoices.org/2022/09/07/str…
It's been a really tough couple of weeks for us in Eastern Kentucky but we are so pleased to share some good news: Congress just passed a permanent extension of support for miners with black lung! #blacklungkills aclc.org/2022/08/12/per…
Congress just passed a permanent extension of support for miners with black lung! Thank you to the champions who led the fight: @BobbyScott @RepAdams @RepJohnYarmuth @USRepMikeDoyle @RepCartwright @Sen_JoeManchin @timkaine @SenSherrodBrown @MarkWarner @SenBobCasey!
“I want to remind my Republican colleagues and the American people once again what Republicans will be voting against today.” Watch Chairman @RepJohnYarmuth's closing remarks on the House Floor during debate on the #InflationReductionAct. ⤵
The historic #InflationReductionAct will save families money on prescription drugs and health care, while making the largest-ever investment to tackle the climate crisis. I'm honored to be bringing it to the floor today—and ready for @HouseDemocrats to send it to @POTUS's desk.
Nancy Pelosi giggled when she yielded the floor. This is happening! #InflationReductionAct
Listening to the debate on the #InflationReductionAct #HR5346 I feel like some Democrats need to read this tweet thread on inflation to understand how to talk about it without conceding ground to people who want to lie about it.

We've heard from many partners in KY that they need volunteers. The work is hard, and hot and emotionally exhausting. Judy Bonds used to say we need to be like a V shaped flock of geese - we all gotta take turns as the leader and as the one who needs to drop to the back and rest.

Sending love to our family in Eastern Kentucky, two weeks after this disaster. Read this lovely, heartbreaking story about neighbors caring for each other in hard times and then donate at one of the resources listed by @Appalshop or to @ekymutualaid ohiovalleyresource.org/2022/08/05/in-…
I can’t wait to take Kevin McCarthy’s art history survey class next semester…..
Turns out, climate scientists, economists, and policy experts aren't unhappy people...they simply haven't had much to be happy about. Take a deep dive into some good news for a change:

Check out this opinion editorial by Brad Davis: Floods are killing southern West Virginia via @wvgazettemail This is why certain provisions under the #InflationReductionAct are so crucial for our region! #ReImagineAppalachia wvgazettemail.com/opinion/op_ed_…
Westerners from the Great Plains to the Pacific Coast are glad that Inflation Reduction Act contains historic investments to combat #climatechange and build America’s #cleanenergy economy. Including: 🧵 #IRA
Inspired by these folks.
Today at the Black Lung Association press conference (the BLA is a grassroots network of miners and widows that help each other navigate the dehumanizing bureaucracy required to get benefits) miners were asked about why @SenCapito and @RepAlexMooney don't support the excise tax:

"This is an important change. That’s why the Black Lung Association fought so hard for it & raised our voices to let @Sen_JoeManchin know we were counting on him. He did listen, not only securing a long-term extension, but a permanent one" #BlackLungKills wvgazettemail.com/opinion/op_ed_…
The #STREAMAct passed the House almost unanimously. But we need action in the Senate. Our communities can’t afford to miss this opportunity. Join the 80+ organizations fighting to clean up #AcidMineDrainage and tell your Senator to take action!
The money is there to clean up #AcidMineDrainage -- we just need Congress to pass the #STREAMAct to unlock it by ensuring it can go to the long-term investments needed to take action.
Have you seen rivers & creeks running orange where you live? Its probably #AcidMineDrainage. Coal mines that have been shuttered for decades are still polluting streams, rivers, creeks and lakes like the Black Warrior River Watershed in Alabama with AMD. #STREAMAct.
Our communities need the #STREAMAct to clean up waters polluted with #AcidMineDrainage, like this creek in Claiborne County, Tennessee.
The #STREAMAct means clean water & new jobs at no new costs to the taxpayer – no wonder it passed the House with HUGE bipartisan support. Hey, Senate! It’s your turn.
NEW: We are proud to be one of 80+ organizations calling on @Sen_JoeManchin @SenJohnBarrasso @SenMikeLee @SenCortezMasto to advance the popular, bipartisan #STREAMAct to help clean up water polluted by #AcidMineDrainage. appvoices.org/2022/09/07/str…

Today, on the heels of the Senate passage last weekend, the House passed the Inflation Reduction Act, ensuring the largest investment ever in clean energy, environmental justice and climate action. Our statement: reimagineappalachia.org/press-statemen…
“I want to remind my Republican colleagues and the American people once again what Republicans will be voting against today.” Watch Chairman @RepJohnYarmuth's closing remarks on the House Floor during debate on the #InflationReductionAct. ⤵
The historic #InflationReductionAct will save families money on prescription drugs and health care, while making the largest-ever investment to tackle the climate crisis. I'm honored to be bringing it to the floor today—and ready for @HouseDemocrats to send it to @POTUS's desk.
🧵As we wait to hear about what’s next on reconciliation, let’s talk about ~INFLATION~, a word that is being thrown around a lot without much defining, and why federal spending makes us more resilient /1

Thank you, @SenBobCasey for fighting for miners' benefits. #blacklungkills
Among the many provisions of this bill is a guarantee that the Black Lung Benefits Program remains solvent. Coal miners suffering from black lung disease helped build generations of American prosperity. Our Nation owes them the benefits they are entitled to.
.@PERIatUMass says #InflationReductionAct’s expanded tax credit to support #manufacturing of #CleanEnergy—from #solar to #wind to batteries—would support the creation of 900,000 good jobs over 10 years. @BGAlliance explains: bluegreenalliance.org/irafactsheet
