Sunday more than 30 Texas House Dems flew from Austin to Illinois and immediately headed to our HQ along with Gov. JB Pritzker. They fled to prevent the Texas legislature from enacting Donald Trump’s plan to defy voters and gerrymander five additional Republican House seats. They 👏 are 👏 fearless! 🇺🇸

Let's be real: if Republicans pass the House budget bill as is, it will murder the US nuclear industry, ruin our chances of winning the AI race (by constraining power supply), concede the global auto sector to China, and vaporize about half a trillion dollars of US manufacturing investment...

Press conference today at Laborers Local 68 with Governor JB Pritzker, DPI Chair, Lisa Hernandez, the first Latino township Supervisor in DuPage, Bobby Hernandez, Aurora mayor-elect John Laesch, Senate President Don Harmon, DuPage County Board Chair, Deb Conroy and DuPage Dems Chair Reid McCollum.

I wrote about how the Trump administration is attempting to increase the amount of toxic air Americans breathe, which would have enormous societal impact. We are being set up to slide back into an acrid past. Epidemiologists and pulmonologists are worried. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

If you are a climate nerd and don’t already subscribe to @volts.wtf, LISTEN UP! It’s my favorite climate policy substack/podcast. @seancasten.bsky.social was on the most recent episode. There were a few classic Casten analogies — one regarding dog turds and chocolate. www.volts.wtf

Due process exists for a f@#k!ng reason, and it should remain a core principle enshrined in American law and the practices of our government.

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy! Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #April5 #HandsOff

Something I've been thinking about, inarticulately for a while that I want to try and put to paper: why our judicial branch is - and should be - political. Thread:

Over 2,500 of us to say HANDS OFF! at Tesla in Lisle, IL. #HandsOff #StopMusk

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

Update: 49 of 49. We just ran the table in what was once one of the most Republican counties in the US.

Today on Volts: an interview with Rep. @seancasten.bsky.social of Illinois' 6th district, about the widespread failure of elites to stand up to Trump, the fate of the IRA tax credits, & the best way forward for clean energy advocates & developers. This one is a banger, y'all.

DuPage Dems Chair here… we’re leading in 48 of 49 partisan races and only down in the one by 35 votes. Several of our townships have never had an elected Dem, and it’s sweep after sweep tonight.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."   The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are destroying Social Security. They are billionaires who only care about themselves. Their fathers did not love them enough, but Americans should not have to pay the price.

"More than 600 Iron Range steelworkers out of work as auto industry cuts orders because of tariffs"

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

About 600 protesters outside Tesla in Lisle this evening and was covered by several TV stations and print outlets! THE PEOPLE UNITED CAN NEVER BE DEFEATED!
