"Clearly, this is a bad deal for customers in both the near-term and the long-term," Maggie Shober, research director at the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, wrote about Georgia Power's plan.
Lame-Duck Georgia Commission Could Lock Customers Into High Cost Gas Plants Until 2075 - Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE)
Georgia’s PSC weighs Georgia Power’s costly expansion plan, including long-term gas plants that could raise bills for decades despite staff urging a more cautious, contract-based approach.

You can make any policy sound nice by using buzzwords like “affordable housing” and “equity”. But you need to look at the numbers and ask if these projects are actually delivering what they claim. TADs haven’t delivered for Atlantans who need affordable housing most!

It's undeniable: The Laken Riley Act violates immigrants' constitutional rights.
BREAKING: In what appears to be the first decision to address mandatory detention under the Laken Riley Act, a federal judge in Boston ruled today that detaining an individual solely on the basis of his prior arrest violates due process.

We have to build a new future, one where working people can’t be ignored, and where corruption can’t drag us back here again.
Our fight is to lay down that foundation, one that lifts the working class, breaks the grip of corruption, and ensures we never end up here again.

I watch Hamilton a lot. It reminds me of today. They faced impossible odds but still built something new, something different.
The Trump regime will collapse. That much is certain. But collapse alone doesn’t create a future.
