Jennifer and I send our deepest condolences to the Brown University community. Gun violence has no place in this country. These acts of violence are vile and devastating. We pray for the safety of everyone affected.

Job losses, increased costs, and farmers needing bailouts—Trump's economy is failing all of us. @neeratanden.bsky.social explains.

Donald Trump promised almost a year ago that he'd "take care" of rebuilding after the Los Angeles firestorms, but survivors are still waiting for him to officially ask Congress for relief. It's long past time for Trump to wake up and do his job.

"Climate change is a global problem...but the solutions are local." 🌎 Hear from #COP30 attendees about how collaborating with the U.S. is important to finding solutions to the climate crisis.

VA & NJ Election Win Takeaways: families want lower energy bills, long-term stability and clean, affordable energy. Candidates focused on those goals won. Learn what these races tell us about the path forward for policymakers: www.americanprogressaction.org/article/the-....

California voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly supported Prop. 50, Gov. Gavin Newsom's measure to create more Democratic congressional seats, countering a similar redistricting effort pushed by President Trump in other states to protect Republican control of the House. nyti.ms/3JMZntw

The takeaway from VA & NJ is that families want lower energy bills, long-term stability, & clean, affordable energy. Candidates focused on that won. Learn what the results say for for policymakers. My new @americanprogressaction.org column here: www.americanprogressaction.org/article/the-....

NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social and @nrdc.org --> 65% of all U.S. electric and 59% of all U.S. natural gas utility costumers face increased or proposals for increased utility rates by 2027. Find out some reasons why in our new report: www.americanprogress.org/article/resi...

⚠️ Electric bills are climbing—again! New analysis from @amprogg.bsky.social and @nrdc.org finds that 200+ gas and electric utilities across 49 states + DC are jacking up or proposing higher rates, some of which are already in effect. www.americanprogress.org/article/resi...

If the Supreme Court strikes down Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has been interpreted to require the creation of majority-minority districts, Republicans could eliminate upward of a dozen Democratic-held districts across the South. Here's how.

Trump and RFK Jr. aren't making America healthy again—in fact, they're making our nation's health care worse. @cmkelly.bsky.social explains how the administration is undermining its own MAHA agenda:

Newsom says he’s on the verge of quitting the National Govs Association: “should not be difficult … regardless of partisan affiliation, to agree that politicizing our states’ Natl Guard and deploying… over the objections of the home-state Governor,harms the interests of states”

This is the St. Helena Parish Hospital in Greensburg, LA. My grandmother was the lead accountant. My grandfather helps keep it running. My father died here in 2013. If Rs pass the #OBBB, Medicaid will be cut—and this hospital could close. This isn’t politics. It’s our lives.

Ah, the golden age.

In the race to power the world, China is far ahead of everyone on clean-energy technology. Its lead is growing fast.

The Republicans are voting now for massive layoffs and bankruptcies throughout the clean energy economy – a trillion dollar investment in a better future, abandoned. The world we would have built is so different from the one we will now have to live in.

– New taxes on clean energy investment. – Termination of the Fuel Economy Standards for new cars and trucks. – A new tax subsidy for coal. It's a collection of the worst, most harmful ideas you can imagine. And the Republican Senate is voting for them now.

I felt it was time for new headshots.

Personal news: I’ll be joining @americanprogress.bsky.social as Associate Director of State Climate Policy. Starting in July, I’ll be focused on helping states lead on clean energy, good jobs, and climate resilience. Grateful for the journey that brought me here. Ready to work!

With war in the Middle East, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s threatening the middle class here at home. Pres. Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” would gut Medicaid & Medicare to protect tax breaks for the wealthy. Read my op-ed, then call our lawmakers: www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/...

What we’re seeing from the Trump administration on Iran feels all too familiar. I wrote about how we got here, what’s at stake, and why we can’t afford to look away. Read my latest piece here: open.substack.com/pub/frederic...

The honor of a lifetime. Happy Father’s Day, California.

Today would’ve been my dad’s 50th birthday. We didn’t take many photos during our 15 years together, so as a sign of the times, I asked AI to imagine one. It’s not perfect, but it brings me a little bit of comfort. Happy birthday, Dad.💙🎈

The court just confirmed what we all know: The military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. End the unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles now, Donald Trump. Refusing to do so will only confirm your authoritarian tendencies. The country is watching.

Megabill would cost poorest households $1,600 a year, boost richest by $12K, according to Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper.

Donald Trump is ruining our chance of achieving true energy independence.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom denounced President Trump for inflaming the situation in Los Angeles by sending federal forces and warned the public to “not give in to him.” “California may be first, but it clearly will not end here,” he said. wapo.st/4kugTjo

Breaking News: The global economy is projected to slow sharply this year as President Trump’s trade policy disrupts international commerce, the World Bank said.

The 2025 hurricane season is here, but some families are still rebuilding from last year’s costly destruction. As climate change drives a future of more intense hurricanes and more destructive floods, enhanced community resilience and recovery are key. 🛠️🌪️ www.americanprogress.org/article/clim...

We need all hands on deck to protect American democracy from corruption. Hear from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on how to get it done:

Time to future-proof yourself. www.axios.com/2025/05/28/a...

Under the House budget package, steep reductions in clean energy technology deployment plus the proposed material sourcing constraints on clean manufacturing tax credit eligibility could put a meaningful amount of this $522 billion in outstanding investment at risk. rhg.com/research/way...

The mayor of Washington, D.C., suggested that the giant Black Lives Matter mural that was painted in the summer of 2020 on a street within view of the White House would be painted over.

It is hard to recall a period where the legacy media did more to undermine itself than the month since the election. A lack of courage and false neutrality broke trust. Meanwhile, independent pro-democracy outlets like Democracy Docket are seeing rapid growth. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are *right now* trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs. I discuss with @marcelias.bsky.social:

@marcelias.bsky.social on the media & business kissing the Trump ring: "The moment you do that, number one, you give up something very important about your integrity. But the second thing is you show Trump that he that that he has you. And once he's got you, you're not safer. You're more at risk."

“I felt it in my entire body. I was heartbroken.” Following Donald Trump's defeat of Kamala Harris in the election, many Black women have vowed to prioritize their own well-being first instead of charging to the front lines of the culture wars, for now.

Clean energy tax breaks, pollution rules, America’s participation in the Paris climate agreement — all these policies and more could be on the chopping block after the election of Donald Trump. Here are some of the biggest changes Trump and his allies are expected to make:
