Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

NEW: At least 41% of Virginia's counties now have some form of restriction on solar development, according to new Heatmap Pro data.
Why is this the case when Virginia has been a relatively favorable state for energy infrastructure? @jael.bsky.social dives in, on this week's THE FIGHT 🧵
Since NYC’s congestion pricing began, school buses have been faster and more punctual. NYCSBUS data shows a 48% drop in late arrivals and a 22% speed increase in Manhattan’s congestion zone.

Sing it from the rooftops: congestion pricing in NYC is an unambiguous triumph. It is succeeding beyond its backers wildest aspirations & none of the second-order effects people worried about have come to pass.
It's a pure win. Celebrate it! Talk about it! For once, let's own the f'ing narrative.
Please highlight this story.
ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

HELL YEAH! Courage is contagious, y'all. Keep it coming.
20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant.
They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear.
They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings.
The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed
The image is a black-and-white political cartoon depicting a man in a suit standing behind a counter labeled "Republican Platform." He is holding a bottle labeled "Untaxed Whiskey, 20¢ Gal." in one hand and a piece of cloth labeled "War-Taxed Common Cloth, Tariff 84%" in the other. Above the counter, a sign reads, "If you don’t see what you want, ask for it." The cartoon, signed by W.A. Rogers, appears to satirize the Republican Party's economic policies, highlighting the disparity in taxation between luxury items like whiskey and essential goods like cloth.
In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.

It affects our health, and the economy. It impacts food, water, and resources. It contributes to geopolitical instability and even conflict.
Here are the Canadian scientists who study this.
Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.
