A moratorium on data center construction, please.

Agree. This is so heartbreaking and on such a global scale. Dear Brother, may you find and re-find your safety and ease.

"Trump aims to take down ‘global mothership’ of climate science" by Rafi Schwarz for @theweek.com: theweek.com/politics/tru...

I guess since we're in the days of Orwellian doublethink that "STOP2End" and "End2End" means "increase the number of texts we send you exponentially?"

The Dude absolutely owns this! I was talking to the drummer a few weeks ago, who also played in my uncle's band and he was telling me that Tom Waits came to see them play it once. Anyway, I love this version!

Any president or candidate who says that prices will go down 500% should be immediately disqualified. 25th amendment.

Speaker Johnson sending the House home a day early ensures there is no vote on the ACA meaning healthcare premiums will now double for hundreds of thousands of Coloradans. Congress is truly broken when it takes vacation early rather than help Americans with unendurable costs.

ICYMI: Speaker Johnson is REFUSING to let the House vote on a bill to extend the ACA tax credits this month. People are buying health coverage NOW—January is TOO LATE. Republican Leaders won't do a thing to help families keep their health care.

Johnson has sent the House home early once again.

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

HUGE NEWS! We have the votes in the House to save our health care! Now it’s up to Speaker Johnson to do his job and call the vote TODAY.

This is HUGE. We just reached the number of signatures we need to force a vote to extend the ACA tax credits for three years. With just 14 days until these subsidies expire, Speaker Johnson should bring our bill to the floor IMMEDIATELY.

We have the 218 signatures needed to bring a 3-year extension of ACA subsidies to a vote. We can take this vote TODAY! Republicans can vote to change the House rules and move the bill forward NOW. Speaker Johnson, stop playing with American's health care!

Yes

Biggest climate bill of 2025 is now biggest climate LAW of 2025! Thanks @govpritzker.illinois.gov and all who made it happen!

The chemical industry has launched a multi-million dollar lobbying blitz to influence Trump, including on regulations related to "forever chemicals." Trump's EPA has also recently added chemical lobbyists to regulatory positions. "Make America Healthy Again."

From a big redistricting defeat for Trump in Indiana to Democratic victories across Florida, Georgia, and Iowa, it’s been a big week for Democrats. Add Trump’s falling approval and another failed attempt to re-indict NY AG Tish James, and we’ve all got reasons to celebrate.

Every 1/10th degree of warming that we can still prevent is an essential gift we can give our children and grandchildren. Every 1/10th degree of warming we fail to prevent is a profound burden on—if not a crime against—our children and grandchildren.

No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency. This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.

My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.

PENNSYLVANIA! PUT A MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS SO COMMUNITIES CAN PUT REGULATIONS IN PLACE TO PROTECT THEIR HEALTH AND OUR HABITABLE ATMOSPHERE!!! Below is a perfect example.

🥳 VICTORY 🥳 We’re celebrating a HUGE win in stopping microplastics 🚰 Together with our allies and volunteers, we pushed seven governors to submit a petition to the EPA demanding it monitor for microplastics in our drinking water!

Robots filled the room while organizers delivered a statement, signed by more than 70 groups and nearly 2,900 residents, making it clear that #Pennsylvania is not AI ready and that #datacenter expansion poses real environmental and community risks. Read more: www.betterpathcoalition.org/aijobsfair

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."
