Grateful to all the Congressional Staff who worked tirelessly to try to make this bill at least a little less bad. Your work mattered. The road ahead is long. The only way through is together.
This bill will make us all sicker, poorer, less safe, and less free.
As @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social said as he concluded his speech: “We’re going to press on until victory is won.”

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

The Post (me and @kcrowebasspro.bsky.social) analyzed the social media posts and appearances of prominent politicians across the country.
We found that no one is talking about climate change anymore. In 2025, mentions are 60% lower than in 2024.

Fascinating!
This painting by a young Seurat was a beginning point for him to comment on the dilemma of industry pollution - worker boys needed to go upstream to enjoy the unpolluted waters.
Recognizes the new reality, their creation, out of job necessity.

The Sandwich Guy Puns Keep Rolling In - Washingtonian
In a rare taste of victory for the resistance, a jury acquitted Sean Dunn—eternally our Sandwich Guy—of misdemeanor assault in a DC federal court yesterday. Dunn has become something of a local hero…

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

FOX: So you would ask Speaker Johnson to recall the House?
GOP REP. KEVIN KILEY: Not only would I, I've asked him to do it repeatedly. There's no justification. And honestly, it's Republican voters who should be most upset about this when they delivered a GOP majority and now that's being wasted

37.5% - In penalty shootouts in all competitions for #NWSL teams, Aubrey Kingsbury has saved 37.5% of the on-target penalties she has faced (9/24). All other goalkeepers have combined to save just 17.2% (20/116). Different.

📣 Big win for Texas conservation! TNC secured 6,410 acres of coastal prairie, one of the largest left in the state.

Everything went the Spirit's way, except the scoreline. Louisville had basically no possession, Emma Sears has fewer than 10 touches, they've created chances and a tight VAR call disallowed a goal. Everything is going well, just need the ball in the back of the net!

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too.
To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.

It’s really remarkable how thin the bench of climate change deniers is and how deep the poverty of their arguments. They haven’t come up with anything new in decades and can only fall back on conspiracies to explain their lack of success.
Joe Rogan has one of the world's most popular podcasts. Unfortunately, like nearly all of the most popular online shows, his tends to spread climate misinformation. For @climateconnections.bsky.social I scrutinize his recent episode with octogenarian climate contrarians Lindzen & Happer 🧵 (1/11)

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.
