Here's a great map (if you love maps) of how the charging network has grown. The job is not yet done, but never forget that our country is capable of doing great things.

NEW: President Trump and RFK Jr. promised to “Make America Healthy Again” but the administration’s assault on environmental safeguards will expose kids and families to more cancer-causing pollution as RFK Jr. cuts cancer research and treatment: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Molly O'Toole: "On way 1st day teaching journalism course on covering immigration, met by ICE in Mt.Pleasant at Lamont - agents appear to take father driving young daughter, likely to school. Agents shoving bystanders, daughter sobs it’s her fault-she’d seen car parked for 2hrs. Trump’s America"

This morning: MPD and ATF conducted a massive paramilitary operation, with officers in masks and camo, in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of DC within 500 yards of an elementary school while neighborhood children were heading to school. On their third day of classes.

The Department of Energy HQ is purportedly cancelling all pending #FOIA requests submitted before October 1, 2024, unless the requester emails a specific address w/i 30 days asking the agency to continue processing. This is wildly illegal. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-15490.pdf

NEWS: President Trump is federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department, which means he will control it for up to 30 days. He is also deploying the D.C. National Guard, all to fight what he says is an increase in crime.

140M+ Americans are under heat alerts this week. Our new report breaks down how climate change is supercharging this deadly heat, driving up bills, straining hospitals and power grids, and hitting working-class, Black, and brown communities hardest. www.americanprogress.org/article/clim...

New from @lucerowx.bsky.social and the team at @americanprogress.bsky.social: a timeline for implementation of the "one big beautiful bill" that will bring so much unnecessary harm to America. See details and filter by topic area here: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Is this abundance? This project was approved under FAST-41, meaning it had expedited permit approvals. It also had labor, domestic supply chain, power offtake agreements for communities attached to it... meaning a whole lot of high quality American jobs and affordable energy just went up in flames.

"If you wait to fight until the polls tell you an issue is important, the battle can be over before you show up."

Trump signed that "One Big Beautiful Bill" over the weekend, and my colleagues ‪‪@lucerowx.bsky.social‬ and @jasia.bsky.social spell out the ugly consequences for your wallet, health, and safety.

Energy communities - left with toxic, abandoned sites and lost employment - were slated to receive new jobs, energy, and revenues fueled by IRA. The ‘Big, Beautiful’ bill pulls the plug on this future by ending tax credits early #OBBB 🔌💡 www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

The Republicans are voting now for massive layoffs and bankruptcies throughout the clean energy economy – a trillion dollar investment in a better future, abandoned. The world we would have built is so different from the one we will now have to live in.

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: www.nytimes.com/inte...

@vanhollen.senate.gov summarizing what gutting the clean energy incentives means --> less electricity capacity additions to the grid and higher prices for Americans

– New taxes on clean energy investment. – Termination of the Fuel Economy Standards for new cars and trucks. – A new tax subsidy for coal. It's a collection of the worst, most harmful ideas you can imagine. And the Republican Senate is voting for them now.

Senate Finance has released its proposed repeals, and I sure hope none of you were hoping to afford a better future for your family, or anything.

Who exactly is winning under the Trump administration? Not people like Cody who just returned home from military leave to a price spike in his electric bill. ➡️ Share this video and let us know if you also got a notice that your electric bill is going up.

"We're going to have 100 percent carbon-free power in Minnesota, and that's just 10 years away." @governorwalz.mn.gov www.americanprogress.org/events/liste...

While announcing her intent to liberate Los Angeles from its elected officials, the Secretary of Homeland Security oversaw the use of force against a sitting U.S. Senator who dared to question her. Things were already bad, and this is a major escalation.

As much as 72 percent of all clean energy capacity that would have been built over the next decade would disappear if clean energy investments are terminated. That would wipe out more than half of all new electricity capacity additions to the grid. Whoa.

The Republican bill is a disaster—for American families, for the environment, for the average family’s budget, and for our global leadership in clean energy.

We need clean energy investment to get new electricity on the grid fast enough. Excellent report here on how killing the federal investment programs will push prices higher.

Detroit News reports that Ford's big investment in MI will be toast if Congress guts America's EV investments.

This is an exceptionally thoughtful critique of the "abundance" story, and it uses several real world examples to show how to think about what it takes for government to build, from the Vogtle nuclear power plants to the New Deal electrification effort.

The House has voted to terminate federal clean energy investment. If this bill becomes law, it will be a tragic reversal of climate and energy policy that will harm America for generations.

Schumer: "This is nuclear."

The splitscreen tonight is a horror show. The House is amending its reconciliation bill to terminate clean energy investment even earlier. The Senate is shredding its rulebook in order to destroy a cornerstone of the Clean Air Act. The consequences will be felt for a long long time.

I really can hardly believe they're going to break the Senate over this. Making it illegal for states to opt into pollution protections. All to protect the market share and price margins of big oil.

The price of gas is already too damn high—Trump wants to make it even more expensive.

Republicans are planning to blow up Senate rules this week in order to deliver in a win for the oil industry, but they could leave every other industry exposed in a big way.

🚨 House Republicans’ plan will drain American wallets of an extra $339 B in gas and $75 B in electricity prices by 2035. It’s the same old story, only worse: Americans pay the price. Big Oil profits. Check out @thiggins.bsky.social new analysis: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Ready for your gas prices to go up? House Republicans are proposing to end almost all federal clean energy investments, which will drive up the cost of gas and line the pockets of Big Oil execs.

Wow, the House Republican tax bill would increase gas prices. By a lot. Up to 37¢ per gallon! New numbers published by CAP show how ending clean energy investment props up demand for fossil fuels, raises prices, and makes households pay an extra $400b over the next decade to Big Oil and Gas.

Kiggans and 12 House Republicans ask leadership to consider changes to salvage the clean energy tax credits.

Krugman: "The brutality of the cuts to the social safety net isn’t what bothers me most about what’s about to happen to public policy. Even worse is the assault on renewable energy." "As of a few months ago there was hope of avoiding the worst... but things really have taken a grim turn."

Rep. Tonko: "unconscionable giveaways to the fossil fuel industry that would allow them to build whatever they want whenever they want"

"The party’s signature tax plan would kill most Biden-era incentives, but there’s a sticking point: G.O.P. districts have the most to lose."

Rep. Kathy Castor: "You better hold onto your wallets, because they're coming after your electric bills to pay for a massive tax give away to billionaires like Elon Musk."

Rhodium finds the complicated House tax proposal would be as disastrous as outright repeal of the clean energy tax credits. • Raises household energy spending. • Raises prices of gasoline and natural gas. • Raises oil imports. • Slashes deployment of clean electricity and electric vehicles.

"We're concerned that energy demand exceeds supply." Good thing we're building so much wind and solar! "No. We're going to crush wind and solar." What? "And terminate fuel economy and energy efficiency standards." What! "As I said, our profit concerns require energy demand to exceed supply."

Terminating clean energy investments early and burying them under a mountain of new regulations. That's the House Republican plan for new electricity. It means higher electricity bills and continued pollution. Americans will pay the price, and the fossil fuel industry will reap the revenue.

I've read through the text from House Energy and Commerce and now Ways and Means. I'm here to tell you this is as bad as it gets for clean energy. We are working to analyze the impact of the actual bill language, but it will be pretty close to our assessment of full repeal we did about a month ago.

House Republicans last night proposed a brand new “de-risking compensation” scheme for new fossil fuel projects. It’s a great example of how a party can make terrible policy choices when the only thing it cares about is propping up the profits of an allied industry. Here’s how it works. 1/10

House Republicans tonight proposed blanket rescissions of funding that is still available from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act for cleaning up ports, trucking, schools, and manufacturing, for investments in new businesses, air monitoring, and environmental justice communities.

Ending energy efficiency standards makes no sense, and it is grimly hilarious to watch his staff try to fabricate a rationale live on camera.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is an independent agency that sets the standards for nuclear power plants, radioactive waste, medical isotopes, and more. Now: "there are no independent agencies," says Russell Vought, director of OMB. www.npr.org/2025/05/09/n...

Why did the Senate agree to schedule its vote on repudiating Trump's tariffs at a time it would fail due to absences, even though a majority opposes the tariffs? @andrewdesiderio.bsky.social reports it's because it was seen as "still a messaging win" and "symbolic anyway." But...

100 days of a Trump presidency has seen the rollback of efforts to reduce fossil-fuel emissions, leaving people like Army veteran Vickie Walsh at the mercy of the next extreme weather event. #100Days100Harms www.americanprogress.org/article/were...
