The two Democrats who surged to surprise victories on Tuesday and flipped seats on Georgia's Public Service Commission are already having material effects on the state's monopoly utility.
Both Jefferies *and* Goldman Sachs just downgraded Southern Company on regulatory concerns. 👀

It’s easy to feel like the sky is falling with the Trump administration's historic, unprecedented assault on clean, cheap energy.
But there’s reason for hope. We’re making progress on climate and clean energy in states all across the country.

Senate Republicans just voted to kick 20 million Americans off their health care.
JD Vance thinks that is "minutiae."
Ernst doesn't care because "we're all gonna die."
McConnell says people will "get over it."
Don't EVER let Republicans live this down.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

utterly insane frame to this story: we are in the middle of a DOGE-facilitated government shutdown right now and Senate Dems are being asked by voters to tie any support for a CR to the condition of ending that shutdown and reopening the federal government
The government runs out of funding Friday at midnight, leaving Democrats to decide whether to help Republicans pass a bill to avoid a shutdown or block the bill and be blamed for triggering one.
