The two Democrats who surged to surprise victories on Tuesday and flipped seats on Georgia's Public Service Commission are already having material effects on the state's monopoly utility. Both Jefferies *and* Goldman Sachs just downgraded Southern Company on regulatory concerns. 👀

It’s easy to feel like the sky is falling with the Trump administration's historic, unprecedented assault on clean, cheap energy. But there’s reason for hope. We’re making progress on climate and clean energy in states all across the country. Long thread of wins you may have missed this year 🧵👇

This is anti-scientific, immoral and economically irresponsible. I say this without hyperbole - when the history of this era is written, Donald Trump will have been responsible for more deaths than Stalin, Mao and Hitler combined. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/c...

"Republicans are actually going to increase costs to energy bills everyday Americans pay by hundreds of dollars a year." @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been on the floor since 4AM calling out GOP's Big Ugly Bill. ⏰ They could vote ANY MINUTE NOW. Tell your Reps to #VoteNo at (202) 224-3121

Senate Republicans just voted to kick 20 million Americans off their health care. JD Vance thinks that is "minutiae." Ernst doesn't care because "we're all gonna die." McConnell says people will "get over it." Don't EVER let Republicans live this down.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

Harry Enten on Trump's bill: "The amount of disapproval for this bill -- holy cow, my goodness gracious! We're talking about 29 points underwater ... we're talking about a negative 41 net favorability rating among independents. You rarely ever see proposed pieces of legislation as unpopular"

The Bullwark just posted this from Padilla's staff, that's Senator Padilla on the ground.

Deploying military force against our own communities in LA is heartbreaking, terrifying and wrong. It is also very clearly part of a broader assault on the foundations of our democracy that is dangerous and relentless

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

Q: What is Donald Trump going to do about climate change? LEAVITT: The president cares very much about our environment. He also cares very much about our energy independence.

Where Robert Prevost, the new US-born Pope, stands on climate change: "Prevost is outspoken about the need for urgent action on climate change" collegeofcardinalsreport.com/evidence/car...

What if big ol’ energy companies also announced new CEOs with smokestacks oh wait

This Earth Day feels dark, but I’ve got my green on and am all in to keep working with my @lcv.org colleagues to protect our air, lands, water, climate, democracy and so much more to ensure better days are ahead🌎!

“The way we succeed is through having supporters all around the country that care about tackling the climate crisis, that care about our democracy, and that step up and stand with us.” LCV’s new president Pete Maysmith is ready to fight back on his first day. Give him a follow: @pete.lcv.org. 🌎

Musk's DOGE cuts just hit Health and Human Services and it's horrific. They are trying to completely eliminate the entire Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program which helps millions of Americans with their heating and cooling bills. It is the middle of winter. It was 1°F in Utah today.

Our governors have a message for America: We are still the masters of our own destiny.

“Beautiful clean coal”

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

utterly insane frame to this story: we are in the middle of a DOGE-facilitated government shutdown right now and Senate Dems are being asked by voters to tie any support for a CR to the condition of ending that shutdown and reopening the federal government

Dems in array! This is the time we’ve got to stand up.

Nothing says ushering in the Golden Age like more toxic fumes in the air, contamination in our water, and higher utility bills. Actions like this from the Trump administration benefit corporations rather than the Americans who will bear the consequences for generations.

Trump's attacks on clean energy are literally sending American jobs to China.

About last night. Trump talked about trans kids, ending 'woke', and foreign aid all night because he has no real plan. Prices will keep going up, energy and housing and child care will still be way too expensive. They wont fix a thing. And they want you not to notice.

"You may not know all the work that goes on behind the scenes, but if these cuts continue, you will feel them personally at some point when that work is gone.” While Trump rambles and lies tonight, a reminder that his and Musk's gutting of NOAA will cost lives and billions of dollars. #JointAddress

Bravo, every single Democrat should walkout. This is the most ridiculous lie and hate filled speech I have ever heard.

Since Trump has take office he's killed 1000 jobs a day with his clean energy ban. It's raising costs, it makes pollution worse, and it hurts red states the most.

Trump says “balance the budget” and what he and Republicans REALLY mean is cut programs for clean air and water, Medicaid, nutrition support, disaster response, and weather forecasting so that they can slash taxes for their billionaire buddies, while doing nothing on the debt. #SOTU #Corruption

Trump during the campaign said he'd "cut power bills in half". Now the US is planning to increase oil and gas exports. That will absolutely raise your utility bills. They lied to voters, they never wanted to cut your costs. It's all about paying back the oil companies who funded his campaign.

From his very first moments in office, Trump has stalled and gutted clean energy and attacked climate science. Millions of people have already been hurt by these actions. But we're not powerless. States are fighting back. Here's how states are "Trump-proofing" climate progress 👇

🚨 THE LCV SCORECARD IS HERE 🚨 The #LCVScorecard tracks and scores the most important votes in Congress to help you hold your elected officials accountable. See your members of Congress’ LCV scores now 👇 lcv.org/scorecard

Here's what we did last week, Elon: 1. Sued Trump for unlawful offshore drilling 2. Uplifted voices of federal workers instead of firing them 3. Pulled an all-nighter to hold Republicans accountable for their budget votes 4. Fought Trump’s “energy emergency” 5. Performed zero (0) Nazi salutes

This is enormous! Trump team knows they have no legal leg to stand on. If your Governor has not sued yet ask them why.

NEW - Rep. Mark Alford tells fired KC federal workers ‘God has a plan’ at hostile town hall Folks, I've been covering politics for a dozen years in Kansas and Missouri and this is probably the most intense, angry town hall I have ever seen www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

Top federal prosecutor Denise Cheung just resigned after refusing to execute a Justice Department order freeze bank accounts holding $20 billion in Biden era climate funding. They're willing to lie about anything, no matter how many jobs it kills or people who get hurt to ban clean energy.

It doesn't get more American than public lands. It's one of the last issues supported across the political spectrum. We should be hammering them on this.

More staggering cruelty toward civil servants from Musk and Trump that also threatens our air, water, lands and more.

now's as good a time as any to check out heatmap's massive project "Decarbonize Your LIfe" because it's nominated for a National Magazine Award! heatmap.news/decarbonize-...

This also includes *veterans*, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

this is a BIG deal. CEO of Ford Motors just said Trump's attacks on clean cars and EV tax credits "risks jobs" and his tariffs bring "cost and chaos". Business community breaking at the seams already.

Trump's Clean Energy Ban means higher prices and more pollution, all to line his billionaire oil donors' pockets.

Huge: The Army Corps of Engineers has confirmed to me that it has halted evaluations for pending permit actions related to renewables. The most confusing part? Its unclear why, and the EO they cited in their statement to me doesn't even mention renewable energy. heatmap.news/sparks/army-...

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk is implementing #Project2025 and trying to destroy NOAA. NOAA protects marine life and coastal communities and provides free, life-saving weather forecasts and warnings. Congress must stop Musk's hostile takeover and protect NOAA and other vital agencies.

it's working, keep it up.

this is a 5 alarm fire alert. This could decimate all the clean energy we worked to pass under Biden.

Something big to watch today, anew Jersey Governor Phil Murphy expected to make a big push for 100% clean energy in today’s State of the State address. Would be first state to pass major climate action in the wake of Trump’s election. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

🚨 Over 400,000 clean energy jobs have been announced since the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in August 2022. The Biden-Harris administration's historic clean energy plan is delivering for both our planet AND economy. More in @climatepower.bsky.social's new report 👇
