We must prioritize solving the pollution & public health crisis on the Tijuana River, one of America's Most Endangered Rivers® of 2025. Thank you @epaleezeldin for convening leaders in the region & urgently insisting on a cooperative, bi-national solution

For the 40th year, the nonprofit American Rivers has put out its list of "America's Most Endangered Rivers," a call to action that highlights some of the biggest threats to some of the country's most critical waterways that impact millions nationwide. cbsn.ws/4imkuht
Phenomenal work by @CBSNews capturing the story of one of our nation’s most important #rivers. Heartfelt and inspiring.

Joined @ARActionFund's River Action Day Kickoff with advocates and River Council members.
We discussed my Headwaters Protection Act's role in enhancing watershed management partnerships.
Thanks for raising river awareness on the Hill, impacting our state and nationwide.

It’s an honor to have been named American Rivers’ River Champion of 2025 for my work to strengthen dam safety across the country, including the National Dam Safety Program Reauthorization Act of 2023, the National Dam Safety Program Amendment Act, and the Low-Head Dam Inventory Act - all three of which have been signed into law.

We depend on our rivers for so many important aspects of life, but they’re facing pollution and degradation throughout California.
I'm grateful for American Rivers' efforts in this fight to keep our rivers clean – and it's an honor to be recognized for my hard work alongside them through the River Champion award.

Congratulations to the @CityGrandRapids, Michigan for being a recipient of American Rivers' 2025 River Champion award! 👏The City of Grand Rapids and community organizations have taken significant strides to make their river a focal point. Thanks to them, the Grand River is cleaner and healthier than it was 20 years ago.

Clean water must be a bipartisan issue that unites us.
Pollution is not patriotic: every community deserves a healthy river and every family should have safe, clean water flowing from their kitchen faucet.

No matter where you live, we’re all feeling the impacts of extreme weather.🌪 Healthy rivers are key to protecting our communities from the impacts of extreme weather events. Our new FAQ resource explains this further. 🔗 Link below!

"This is dangerous and wasteful. The unplanned release of this much water could damage levees, putting communities at risk of flooding. It threatens farmers, risking the water they may need during the dry summer months.

Great to see this progress for our urban rivers!
Keep the positive momentum going by voting for candidates who protect rivers and invest in clean water in your own city, and nationwide.

A high-water mark eight feet above the previous record is insane. It is a discontinuity with all prior experience of the river.
We'll be seeing more and more of these unprecedented events.
The climate crisis is an era, not an issue.
⚠️(Nolichucky Dam Update)⚠️ The Nolichucky River has crested, and the dam remains intact. Water is currently receding by approximately one foot per hour. Our Dam Safety teams are in the process of assessing the condition of the dam to determine next steps.
We are estimating water levels reached 8 feet over the record elevation.

This week, the Biden administration (@POTUS) announced a number of critical investments and projects to restore rivers and support clean water. From providing fish passage at outdated dams, to improving water infrastructure for Tribal Nations, to protecting the Colorado River from drought, these efforts will strengthen communities nationwide. We applaud the administration's leadership. No matter where you live, healthy rivers and clean water are essential to our health and our future. @whceq

Rocky Barker, former Idaho Statesman reporter, was there 25 years ago when Edwards Dam was removed from Maine's Kennebec River. Here, he reflects on the Klamath, the lower Snake, and the unstoppable momentum for healthy, free-flowing rivers: rockybarker.com/post/klamath…
