You shouldn’t be a pawn in President Trump’s political games. @kaine.senate.gov and I are fighting for Senate Joint Resolution 71 because we don’t want families to pay the price for Trump’s war on affordable, American energy.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

1. I buy my health insurance through Connecticut’s health care exchange. This picture is taken from my monthly statement.

Physician-scientist @smahalingaiahmd.bsky.social was studying how air pollution affects reproductive health when her federal funding was cut. When vital research like this is halted, we miss opportunities to dig deeper and find the solutions we urgently need. "...a loss for us all." #LostScience

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency @heatmap.news

Every new smoke study is nothing but bad news. We'll soon need to use different strategies and tactics that limit firefighter exposure. But can you do that and reduce community smoke exposure too, or will it mean more fire on the landscape longer--and thus more deaths? Another climate quandary.

A new Nature study projects wildfire smoke will cause 71,000 excess deaths annually in the U.S. by 2050, representing $608 billion in damages that exceed all other estimated climate costs combined.

It is unacceptable to willfully dismantle the health care system in rural communities!!! Let them go to the ER kinda sounds like let them eat cake

Transit safety isn’t optional, it’s a necessity. This week, CM Balducci led a Transit Safety Report briefing—a blueprint built with operators, safety experts, & community leaders. Now it's time to turn these recommendations into action. Watch KING 5’s coverage:

Masked ICE agents are assaulting clergy members like Rev. David Black, a Presbyterian minister from Chicago, who was peacefully protesting in his hometown. All Americans, regardless of faith, should be disturbed by this.

200,000 deaths per year from air pollution & Trump administration is propagating the harm

In Arizona, a fight against a deadly fungus is under threat from Trump’s health policies. What one doctor’s quest to stop valley fever says about America’s preparedness for climate-driven disease. grist.org/health/valle... #AZ #Arizona #Climate #Health #PublicHealth #Disease

I used to use the term “all of the above” when advocating for every clean energy solution available & technology neutral policy but the term has been co-opted by those who really intend us to keep burning & polluting as long as possible. This editorial in the NYT gets some stuff right but….1/2

Who's doing rigorous analysis on the effects of data centers on economic, health, energy, and climate outcomes? #econsky #energysky #climatesky

More than 6x as many Americans die from air pollution as opioid overdose. Why isn’t Trump bombing oil tankers as well as?

When tax breaks for billionaires were set to expire in December, Republicans made that priority number 1—because heaven forbid billionaires have to worry about filling up their private jets! But tax credits for families to afford health care? Republicans refuse to talk about it.

I don't want higher insurance prices. I don't want AI. I don't want a ballroom at the White HOuse. I don't want dictatorship. I don't want ICE ar the military rousting people in our streets. I'm so negative.

Since 2019, the world has added 215% new solar generation capacity. During that time we also added 6% and 11% more coal and methane generating capacity as well though. We now have to start decommissioning that fossil fuel generation capacity faster if we want to limit warming to less than 2 degrees

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

the guy who caught cal raleigh’s homer was wearing a shirt that said dump 61 here and he immediately took it off and had a shirt that said dump 62 here

Paging Mark Carney.

Flight delays started to climb Tuesday evening across the United States amid air traffic controller staffing challenges, as people responsible for guiding planes through the skies approach nearly a week of working without a paycheck thanks to Trump’s government shutdown. #TrumpShutdown

The government’s own data rebuts Trump Admin claims that wind and solar are driving up electricity prices, Politico reports share.google/RTIXPPQMXrTH... “[T]he data say pretty much the opposite” of Trump & Secretary Wright’s claims.

As the US cancels industrial decarb and DAC funding, Germany unveiled a 6 billion euro ($7 billion) funding initiative today aimed at industrial decarbonisation www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

The former U.S. surgeons general appointed by every Republican and Democratic president since George H.W. Bush have written an op-ed warning Americans that RFK Jr. is endangering the health of the nation by leading the department down a road which lacks scientific integrity and transparency.

Shell is so heavily invested in the "LNG or bust" strategy we should not expect anything resembling truth out of them on the topic.

I should add that this is not, at least on parchment, an insoluble problem. The Constitution provides a solution to the abuse of Presidential authority: impeachment and removal.

Governor Newsom has a bill on his desk to hold utilities accountable, and get them to stop passing along their dark money campaigns to everyday Californians. Is he going to side with utilities, or side with the public and help lower electricity rates? energyandpolicy.org/california-l...

Unfortunately with confusion rampant at the top, it is falling to states and alliances like the West Coast Health Alliance to fill the void in clear healthcare messaging. @governor.ca.gov @doh.wa.gov

Carbon capture is the filtered cigarette of our time

Methane is a greenhouse gas. Methane leaks. The methane that doesn’t leak gets burned creating toxic pollutants and greenhouse gases. LNG is not an emissions reduction strategy

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Trump wants you to die young & pay more for electricity

You worked hard. You played by the rules. Now, Trump is breaking the promise of Social Security when you need it most. In Trump’s America, if you’re not young and healthy, you don’t matter. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Chris Wrong again!!!!! Renewables are the least expensive option for power generation. EVs & heat pumps more efficient than combustion alternatives. Once again the secretary of Energy is lying

American taxpayers are paying people to post Bible verses on a US government account.

I’m old enough to remember when the Energy Secretary was a Nobel Prize winner, as opposed to an oil and gas industry hack.

Speaking for all physicians and healthcare providers here. When we see patients in need of care especially in an emergency room we do not leave them for dead. We do not care about their immigration status, we treat them because that is what we took an oath to do and is also basic human decency.

The American people aren’t buying the Trump/GOP lies. Nearly half blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown. Trump thinks if he causes Democrats enough pain, they will cave. Not realizing the pain he’s causing is on both sides of the aisle. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown Breaking through the noise.

The government shutdown is impacting families, workers & communities across Washington. We’ve put together answers to the most common questions about what this means for you. Visit my shutdown FAQ page here: DelBene.house.gov/shutdown.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

This is a Trump shutdown manufactured to continue Republicans’ strange fetish for taking away Americans’ health care.

"Someone who says 'I'm against abortion but says I am in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion, but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the [US],' I don't know if that's pro-life." www.cbsnews.com/news/pope-le...
