Official thoughts on the stupidity of the administration’s gutting of manufacturing investments:

truly insane

The splitscreen tonight is a horror show. The House is amending its reconciliation bill to terminate clean energy investment even earlier. The Senate is shredding its rulebook in order to destroy a cornerstone of the Clean Air Act. The consequences will be felt for a long long time.

The House Republicans spending bill is Robin Hood in reverse. It smashes provisions like Medicaid and food assistance for poor Americans to give tax cuts to the already wealthy and big corporations.

Americans are already hurting from high energy costs, and now Congressional Republicans are attempting to raise costs even further by gutting clean energy tax credits… just to fund their #BigBillionaireBailout. Read more about the bill here: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

This Earth Month, let’s talk about what’s at stake 🌎 Working-class Americans need clean air and water, lower energy bills, and protection from extreme weather. But the Trump administration is canceling the very projects that would make it possible. Hear more from @jasia.bsky.social:

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that will lead to voter purges and widespread disenfranchisement of eligible voters. The SAVE Act stems from baseless claims of voter fraud and is part of a strategic, well-financed effort to suppress voting.

The U.S. is in a position of economic instability amid the worsening climate crisis, with heavy industries like steel playing a major role. It's time to rebuild our industrial economy, before it falls apart. Read @mwilli.bsky.social and my recent report www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

I’m seeing a lot of confusion about the Equal Rights Amendment online. I've been working on the ERA for 13 years & literally wrote a book about it. So, let me help answer some questions. 1) Yes, it really is a real amendment & fully part of the U.S. Constitution. Full stop.

On this day over 100 years ago. the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced to Congress. It is still not in our Constitution. Listen to @katekelly.bsky.social explain: #ERAnow
