I am just unreasonably excited to introduce you to Chapter 2 in @climatecabineteducation.org's series offering concrete, actionable policy solutions for lawmakers facing a tsunami of data center proposals. This one is good, y'all. climatecabineteducation.org/taming-data-...

Here's the next paper in our Taming Data Center Turmoil series! It examines how hyperscalers break our regulatory framework. A system designed for slow, predictable growth is facing a huge wave & it's overwhelmed. We need systemic reforms to protect consumers & the climate from the coming tsunami

Congratulations to Climate Cabinet-endorsed candidate, Anita Gonzales, for winning her primary! With this win, Anita has shown that voters will back clean energy champions who fight to lower families’ bills.

Congrats to @juansanchez-nm.bsky.social on winning his primary for NM Land Commissioner! Juan was Climate Cabinet’s first endorsed candidate in 2026, and we are ready to keep supporting him in the general. Let’s make sure that this clean energy champion wins in November!

We’re hiring a Michigan State Lead! This is a high-impact role for someone who knows Michigan politics, understands how climate progress gets made in state legislatures & can build trust with lawmakers, coalition partners, advocates & funders job-boards.greenhouse.io/climatecabin...

@spears.bsky.social in @thehill.com: Don't sleep on the power of state & local officials to get constituents off the fossil fuel roller coaster. They largely determine our electricity mix, public transit access & housing options. Smart policy in these 3 areas shields ppl from insecure fossil fuels.

A big win last night in Oregon - congrats, Jamie!

Congratulations Climate Cabinet-endorsed candidate, Jamie Collins, for winning his election to become a county commissioner in Deschutes County, Oregon!

Congratulations to Climate Cabinet-endorsed candidate, Brittany Bloam, for winning her primary!

And we have our first win of the night! Congrats Brittany in PA HD 45 - winning with 60% of the vote & counting.

Climate disasters continue to destabilize insurance markets & raise costs for families. The climate crisis is an affordability crisis. Thankfully, CO lawmakers funded a new roof fortification program that builds off other successful models. This bill will promote climate resilience & lower premiums.

I could not be more excited for this new series from @climatecabineteducation.org Hyperscalers are re-writing everything we thought we knew about electricity. New industries require new thinking. This actionable decision guide for lawmakers has been months in the making. Here is Chapter 1:

Another incredible #climatejob opportunity with the best team in climate policy and politics! We are looking for a passionate, strategic Michigan State lead! Remote in MI with frequent travel to Lansing! Join us!

Here's a way you (YOU!) can do something about it.

In June, @leadlocally.bsky.social is hosting a free, online candidate training for climate leaders that want to take the next step towards running for office. Whether you are just considering, or already announced, the Run for Climate training is for you: runforclimate.org

“We literally don’t have a full and comprehensive system for monitoring insurance market data. There’s so much salience on this issue that [insurance] departments of various ideological leanings are at least finding data collection to be in their interests.” @jordanhaedtler.bsky.social

What if you signed up for our Run for Climate training series during Earth Week?? Talk about synergy! https://actionnetwork.org/forms/run-for-climate-interest-form-spring-2026/

The federal government is basically saying "there are no rules anymore, states can make any maps they want." That means the whole ballgame comes down to who controls state legislatures. All of it. Get involved here:

"If a company wants to build a data center in NC they can. They must simply pay their own way & stop shifting the cost onto you me & families like ours. North Carolinians can end up footing the bill 2x thru incentives & subsidies that never contemplated projects like these" @pratherfornc.bsky.social

Hello from Climate Week! Today is Transportation Day. Highlights from today’s panel with @dave.bzky.team, Darwin Moosavi & Jeff Tumlin. 1. Policy solutions to move billions into zero carbon transportation (via state budgets). 2. Use dollars better: simplify gov’t priorities to deliver services.

“The subway is operating better today than it did when it opened in the 1970s” - Jeff

This is great news from Virginia! State-supported intercity bus routes are a critical component of any comprehensive state-wide transit system. This is particularly critical for keeping small towns and rural communities connected to each other and neighboring urban communities.

The Salt River Project elections this week were historic. Let’s keep going in Arizona: donate here to win the next “weird utility race” against TPUSA - the Arizona Corporation Commission in November secure.actblue.com/donate/lower...

Trifecta control in Wisconsin is absolutely on the table in November.

Wisconsin: Strong possibility that both chambers flip in November. A long way until then.

As bills skyrocket, lawmakers need to know that the best climate solutions will also help insulate households from runaway costs. 🏃‍♀️ Transportation choices, 🏠 Homes we can afford near school and work, 🔌 Responsible grid investments in clean energy, and 📝 Insurance market reforms. LFGooooooo

Economic instability is at an all-time high — so today we're launching a policy platform to tackle the 4 largest household bills Americans face: electricity, transportation, housing, and home insurance. Read the full platform here 👇

Clean energy lowers costs. Don't believe me? Look at my electric bill from last month, thanks to Illinois's recent clean energy legislation. Then check out @climatecabineteducation.org's new policy platform about how to make this happen everywhere 👇

Bottom-line. The clear alignment between cost-saving investments & climate investments has quickly transformed what is politically possible in red, blue, and purple states. @spears.bsky.social shares her reflections on this moment here: climatecabineteducation.org/climate-acti...

Finally, let’s look at home insurance. The average American household will spend almost $3000 on home insurance costs in 2026, 17% more than just 2 years ago. Why? Climate catastrophes are destabilizing the market. But pro-climate policies can lower risk and reduce bills. A win-win.

Next, let’s go to the #1 and #2 household bills – housing and transportation. The prices for both gas and rent are soaring. We can address both by building walkable communities and investing in zero-carbon transportation in rural, suburban, and urban areas.

Let’s start with electricity. Bills have gone up by a staggering 29%. The solution? get prices down by connecting clean energy to the grid.

We’re proud to introduce our platform to lower four of the largest household bills in the US – and cut pollution at the same time. Read it here: climatecabineteducation.org/cutting-poll...

2️⃣ Insurance market reform. Thanks to climate catastrophes, many states have spent huge $$s bailing out failing insurance markets. We need to pass insurance policy that *insulates* state budgets from climate disaster market meltdowns.

💯 this. States are facing significant budget problems. We need a new set of state policy goals that are grounded in the realities of state budgets. For example: 1️⃣ Creating new state financing vehicles, like Illinois did last year on transportation. Polluter pays and cap-and-invest are others.

The price of gas is OVER $4.00. Here's how state and local lawmakers can step up to cut costs: 🔌 Speed up electric vehicle sales 🚲 Promote safe biking and walking 🚌 Fight for affordable, reliable transportation 🏘️ Legalize multi-family homes and ADUs climatecabineteducation.org/transportati...

With gas over $4/gal nationally and locally much higher, there will be more demand for EVs, but there is so much more lawmakers can do to help. Start here with this set of tools created by @climatecabineteducation.org

A bipartisan group of lawmakers in MI are working to tackle the housing crisis. By eliminating unnecessary red tape and embracing duplexes and additional housing diversity solutions, newly introduced Michigan legislation could become a model for the rest of the country if passed.

Visit www.hsrail.org/blog/tell-sp... to tell your Illinois legislators to cosponsor the Passenger Rail Planning Act. This legislation would be a critical step towards the high-frequency regional rail system we all deserve - not just in Illinois, but throughout the Midwest and beyond.

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES (laudatory)

Virginia’s legislative session finished just a few days ago. And lawmakers voted to rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, expand virtual power plants, and grow solar.

Congratulations to @pierce4nchouse.bsky.social and @rodneysadler.com on their victories in tonight’s North Carolina primaries! Both candidates are committed climate champions who are ready to build the clean energy economy, lower bills, and reduce pollution⚡️

It’s Primary Election Day for millions of people across America. Tonight, I’m watching North Carolina and Texas results for their impact on climate and clean energy in the 2027 legislative sessions.

North Carolina primary votes are through the roof on the Dem side
