ICYMI: we released an environmental scorecard evaluating the five top-polling candidates for California governor on five key environmental issues. Tom Steyer @tomsteyer.bsky.social, who has pledged to hold the fossil fuel industry and monopoly utilities accountable, received the top “A” grade.

With all the turmoil in the CA Governor's race, now is a great time to remind everyone why we're endorsing Tom Steyer (@tomsteyer.bsky.social). Tom will make Big Oil and electric utilities pay their fair share while lowering costs for Californians. sites.centeractionfund.org/news-release...

What a disaster that would be. Might as well give the White House keys to JD Vance www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

super pleased to say that Chris Espinosa, running for Congress in CA-26, has been endorsed by national climate/enviro groups @climatehawksvote.com, @cbdactionfund.bsky.social, @foeus.bsky.social, and @oilchangeaction.org! #CA26 #VenturaCounty vote for the progressive fighter we need!

Today in Politics, Bulletin 66. 2/7/25. We begin to learn more details about the incels in Musk’s 6-person DOGE team, and it isn’t pretty. That, and everything else you need to know about what happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Heartbreaking.

The world's richest man is taking food and medicine from the world's poorest children www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

Trump and Musk's shuttering of the DOJ's Office of Environmental Justice proves the goal isn't cost cutting or efficiency. The tiny OEP brings in tens of millions of $ from illegal polluters. Without that, tax payers have to foot the clean up bill From OEJ's deleted-today annual enforcement report:

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated. MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans. They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers. Unacceptable.

The first crisis for President-elect Musk…

Huge win for the climate. montanafreepress.org/2024/12/18/m...

The end of Manchin’s permitting “reform” is a huge win for the environment. The purported climate gains were illusory, while the giveaways to fossil fuels were permanent and hugely damaging. Can’t solve the climate crisis by throwing communities under the bus www.energy.senate.gov/2024/12/manc...

We will stop them. apnews.com/article/inte...

Trump is already packing his administration with the authors of Project 2025. Project 2025 was always the playbook. But since they spelled out every horrifying detail of their takeover plan, we have the roadmap to stop it. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

No one should doubt that whatever the rhetoric, the goal of the oligarchs and special interests that will run the Trump administration is to squeeze every last drop for themselves, no matter the consequences to the environment or ordinary people. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/u...

It doesn’t have to be this way. A better world is possible, if we're willing to take on the billionaire class to build it. Nominate working class candidates for Congress today at justicedemocrats.com/nominate

Really close uncalled House race, Dem just took the lead by 30 votes. If it holds Republicans may only have 3 seat majority in House. And then they will be down two with Stefanik and Gaetz out.

A petrostate governor at Interior and a fracking executive at Energy. This is going to be the oiliest administration since George W Bush. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Another puppet of the fossil fuel industry and extreme loyalist picked to run another cabinet agency. Good news, Chris Wright has no idea how to run an agency and will be ineffective and clumsy. apnews.com/article/trum...

Here’s the Center’s take: “Picking someone like Chris Wright is a clear sign that Trump wants to turn the U.S. into a pariah petrostate,” said Jean Su, director of the Center for Biological Diversity's energy justice program.

“I do agree. He will probably have to pull out. Sorry, that’s a bad choice of words for Matt Gaetz”

Donald Trump has been elected as our next president — what will happen now? Here are his proposed policies regarding voting rights, abortion rights and democracy.

"During Mr. Trump’s first term, Mr. Suckling’s group filed 266 lawsuits challenging the administration’s environmental policies, blocking offshore drilling and expanding protections for species from grizzly bears to bumblebees. 9 out of 10 cases had produced wins." www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/u...
