www.infoworld.com/article/4189... When you factor in the indirect costs like skyrocketing electricity rates, the AI reckoning will come. The issue is what destruction to the economy will it leave in its wake. I looked at this in my substack: gregjaczko.substack.com/p/naturally-...

www.cnn.com/2026/06/29/p... Great features of the US executive branch are the INDEPENDENT regulatory agencies, one of which I ran. SCOTUS killed them. Nothing to protect people's health, safety, or finances is safe from Trump & this renegade court. Time for Dems to reform the court in 2026

Congratulations to @robertwhitedc.bsky.social on a hard-earned victory. DC is lucky to have people willing to fight for it, and I’m rooting for his success. We didn’t win, but we moved the conversation on the issues that matter. It’s been the honor of my life. Thank you, DC. 💚

🗳️ TODAY IS ELECTION DAY, DC. Polls open until 8 PM. Vote at ANY vote center (7AM–8PM), or drop your mail ballot in any drop box by 8 PM. Rank your values: Greg #1 — or #2 if he’s your second choice. Your second choice matters. Make your voice heard. #GregJaczko4DC

I sat down with POLITICO’s E&E News to talk about why I’m running. The core of it: DC deserves lower electricity bills, and public power is how we get there. Buy the system, take the profit out, and your bill goes down. Read the full conversation. www.eenews.net/articles/ex-...

My statement on Trump’s threat to take away DC’s home rule if we don’t vote the way he wants. Only DC voters should decide their elected leaders. Not Trump. Not Congress.

Early in-person voting belongs today. Learn more about where to vote at vote.dc.gov. Centers are open every day from 8:30AM to 7:00PM. Rank me first or second and make voice voice. #gregjaczko4dc

We hit the pavement today talking with neighbors across the District. Nothing beats a real conversation on the doorstep. Early in-person voting starts tomorrow, so head to the polls and rank Greg Jaczko #1 or #2! ✌️💚 #gregjaczko4dc

The circle has closed. The Trump presidency has become the real life version of AI slop.

Visited Mamatoto Village this week. The stat that stuck with me: 80%+ of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable. In DC, 90% of maternal deaths involve Black women, and 64% occur in Wards 7 &8. Preventable means fixable. Read more on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/gregjacz...

The end of the Iran war is the new infrastructure week except, like, thousands are dead and most Americans can’t afford gas or groceries. He’s not a genius. He’s a narcissist way out of his depth and people all over the world are suffering.

Where is Congress? All information is appropriately protected by federal law and whistleblower protections. This is just harassment and intimidation. One more attack against the civil servants who keep us safe and prosperous while Trump ruins the country. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is exactly the kind of thing a congressional delegate can actually do something about. Federal oversight of deregulated energy markets is broken and Congress is where that gets fixed. washingtoncitypaper.com/article/7863...

NEW: Did you miss our debate between the candidates for D.C. delegate to Congress? That's Trent Holbrook, @gregjaczko.bsky.social, Brooke Pinto, Robert White, and @kinney4dc.bsky.social. Read a recap from @samdelgado.bsky.social now — or watch the replay of the livestream:

Pepco cannot lose money. The PSC guarantees it a 9.5% return on equity no matter how it performs. That’s roughly $160M/year in guaranteed profit from DC ratepayers. The fix isn’t better regulation. It’s public power. #gregjaczko4dc #pepco #dcdelegate substack.com/@gregjaczko/...

Converting Pepco to a public power authority means better service and cheaper rates. Congress needs to lay the groundwork to make that transition faster. I broke it down with Ryan Schmelz on Live Now Fox. What would it mean for your household if DC made this switch?

DC is electing a new congressional delegate for the first time since 1991. I joined @ryanschmelz.bsky.social this week to talk about statehood, representation, and why this race matters. Watch: www.livenowfox.com/video/fmc-i8...

My statement on US Attorney Jennie Pirro’s announcement that her office will begin criminally prosecuting parents whose children violate DC’s youth curfew.

D.C.’s delegate to Congress job is open for the first time in 30 years — just as attacks on local autonomy have ramped up. @maustermuhle.bsky.social spoke to Democratic primary candidates Trent Holbrook, @gregjaczko.bsky.social, Brooke Pinto, @robertwhite-dc.bsky.social, and @kinney4dc.bsky.social.

www.bloomberg.com/news/article... "[P]oliticians are working to reform the utility model..." Just transition to public power. I'll do that in Congress. Make it the law that utilities have to transition w/in 18 months of a municipality choosing public power. And valuation has to be book value.

By 2028, AI data centers will consume as much electricity as half to two-thirds of every nuclear plant in America. The AI companies aren’t paying for the new power plants to run them. You are. open.substack.com/pub/gregjacz...

The complete mismanagement of the federal government is more than just a DC problem. Most feds work outside DC, helping to keep people safe. In Congress, I'll fight for workers in DC and across the country because the country needs a robust federal workforce. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/c...

I'll focus on exempting D.C. residents from federal income tax, It's the key way that we can generate the discussion nationally around the lack of statehood in D.C. and the injustice that that creates. wjla.com/news/electio...

Another example of DC subject to the whims of a maliciously mercurial president harming our welfare.

700,000 DC residents pay full federal income taxes. We get zero votes in Congress. I have a plan to change that. Rank Greg Jaczko on June 16. #gregjaczko4dc #dcdelegate #dcstatehood #notaxationwithoutrepresentation #notaxationuntilrepresentation

The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. DC residents already can’t vote in Congress. This is exactly why statehood can’t wait.

When the President abuses his power and Congress looks the other way, DC pays the price. I’m running because that has to change. #gregjaczko4dc #dcdelegate #congress

Just published a full breakdown of DC’s electricity crisis and the four fixes that would actually lower your bill. gregjaczko.substack.com/p/naturally-...

I take this personally. Not only because I’m a scientist, but because I’ve sat in these rooms. Firing the entire National Science Board by email isn’t just bad policy. It’s the removal of independent expertise. I’ve seen where that leads.

At least 15 defense officials have abruptly left or been pushed out of their jobs under Trump 2.0, and nerves are charged inside the Pentagon over who gets axed next. “It feels so much like petty, high-school or middle-school drama.”

April 16, 1862: over 3,100 enslaved people in DC were freed, nine months before the Emancipation Proclamation. DC led the nation. Today we honor them and keep fighting injustice in our time. #DCEmancipationDay #dc #freedom

No Taxes Until Representation. D.C. pays more per capita in federal taxes than anywhere in America and with zero votes in Congress. We’ve been civil long enough. It’s time to stop being obedient. gregjaczko.substack.com/p/naturally-... #notaxationuntilrepresentation

Just wrapped up on @thehill.com and @dcnewsnow.bsky.social. Stay tuned!

Tomorrow morning I’ll be on Sunrise on @thehill.com. No income taxes until we have statehood and what’s really driving DC’s rising cost of living.

How have we normalized the insane comments of the Trump -- the President of the United States???? Congress needs to use the powers DEMANDED -- not suggested or offered -- by the Constitution to remove Trump from office.

They were lying? No. This is my shocked face.

US 2025 battery deployment skyrocketed 52% by MW and 40% by MWh, compared to 2024! Annual deployment nearly quadrupled since 2022. Batteries are keys to firming solar and wind and increasing grid reliability. They are now displacing gas peakers. insideclimatenews.org/news/0204202... #energysky

Every so often—for no particular reason—I feel compelled to post a gift link to the 11,000-word article I published in @theatlantic.com seven years ago about Donald Trump's mental disorders and how they rendered him unfit to serve as president. {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Speculation is building around who could replace Mike Johnson as Republicans’ leader in the House if and when the party finds itself in the minority. And there are already four names on the theoretical shortlist, including a dark horse candidate... puck.news/if-the-gop-l...

I knew municipal utilities generally provide lower electricity prices than investor-owned monopoly utilities, but I had no idea the difference was *this stark* in California. No wonder CA electeds are pushing to make municipalization easier and cheaper. energyathaas.wordpress.com/2026/03/09/t...

Trump didn't miscalculate. He didn't CALCULATE. Experts, processes, meetings exist to analyze these actions. Trump has abandoned them in favor of a ballroom in Mar A Lago. He's fired or forced out experts & doesn't listen to the ones remaining. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Time for DC residents to do the same. no representation -- no taxes

Time to sue to stop the war. Trump has no more authority to wage war than to impose tariffs. The Constitution gave Congress war authority. Absent congressional action, no war. not, war until Congress says stop. Up to the Courts, again, to rein in the POTUS.

Yet more absurdity to this war. To whom is Iran supposed to surrender? The United States? Israel? Then we or they will rule Iran, a country of 90 million people. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/06/t...

3) This war is unfounded. With no voting rep in Congress we’ll borrow more or divert our tax #$S to this war and not the needs of the least powerful in DC. If DC isn’t a state no more federal income taxes from us. Enough.

1) In DC families struggling with high electricity prices driven in part by rising nat gas prices will likely see impacts to domestic nat gas prices as ME supplies are constrained by war. 2) thousands of Washingtonians serve in the military risking their lives with no coherent justification …

It’s easy to think the war in Iran is not important for DC. It is and I don’t support it. The president must seek approval from Congress. Wars have consequences. Why? …
