LEGISLATIVE CALLS TO ACTION -- June 17, 2025

There’s still time to push back on the budget reconciliation bill. This administration calls it the “Big Beautiful Bill,” but it’s really the Big Billionaire Bailout. Call every day. 

Oppose Cuts to Clean Energy Programs and Climate Protections

From 5Calls

H.R. 1, the budget reconciliation bill recently passed by House Republicans, is a wholesale repeal of the groundbreaking clean energy investments initiated by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and is the worst attack on our environment and climate in US history.

It would cut clean energy tax credits, eliminate home energy rebates, and impose new fees on electric vehicle owners. That’s going to drive up our energy bills (over $400 for the average American family), kill hundreds of thousands of clean energy jobs, and let fossil fuel pollution continue unchecked. Clean energy is poised to be one of the greatest creators of new jobs and shared prosperity in US history – this bill takes an axe to it.

Senate Proposes An Assault On An Independent Judiciary

From The UnPopulist

The new Senate version of a clause in the Big Beautiful Bill would require plaintiffs suing the federal government to post a bond “in an amount proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by the Federal Government.”

Crucially, “No court may consider any factor other than the value of the costs and damages sustained.” That could mean that they can’t consider the potential damage to the plaintiffs from the government’s actions, nor can they consider the plaintiffs’ ability to pay.
