The Trump administration is once again trying to illegally shut down Revolution Wind. They already lost in court and a federal judge allowed the project to move forward. This new order ignores the court and the law, and we’re fighting back.

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.
When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

Trump canceling Revolution Wind, again, is absolutely nuts—cruel & stupid. It will skyrocket electricity costs, put thousands out of jobs, waste millions already invested in a wind farm nearly 90% complete. 1/

3️⃣Give huge payoffs to billionaires
4️⃣Weaken America globally, and/or
5️⃣Make himself or his family richer

All 214 Democrats and four Republicans have come together to sign a discharge petition to force a vote to extend the ACA subsidies. This would keep 22 million Americans’ health care premiums from skyrocketing next year.
Speaker Johnson, bring the bill to the floor now.
