Thank you for your leadership!!!
Big day- check your Senators’ and Reps’ scores- lcv.org/scorecard
Our elections are secure, noncitizen voting is illegal, & both Republicans and Democrats win fair and square to believe otherwise is to believe in the tooth fairy and the Loch Ness monster. #SOTU
True statement.
Ah, now some truth being spoken, thank you Gov. Spanberger!
That!
100%
So, I think it’s part of the authoritarian playbook to openly admit that their acts of war and violence are not actually targeted to what they claim they are. In reference to efforts to bomb boats originating from Venezuela, he said “no one wants to go fishing anymore”. #SOTU
Since Dems in the chamber don’t have a mic, let me say, here in the US, we are (almost) all immigrants. (And let’s be real, he isn’t going to be protecting Native Americans.) #SOTU
What Trump didn’t say- by 16 points Americans OPPOSE fossil fueled data centers so having them build their own (unregulated) power plants for electricity is as unpopular as it is damaging for our health and families budgets. #SOTU
"This is definitely not a decision based on science. The science is clear, indisputable.
LCV's @matthewhdavis.bsky.social was on ABC News to discuss the Trump administration's repealing of the Endangerment Finding, which requires the EPA to take action to reduce climate pollution.
WATCH 👇
And Trump’s policies have driven up energy prices 13%, because the “green new scam” was lowering prices because wind solar and batteries are the cheapest and fastest to deploy energy. Turns out coal is costly and dirty and outdated, despite what the Undisputed Champion of Coal says. #SOTU
Appreciate #ABC’s #GoodMorningAmerica coverage on Trump’s anti-science rollback of climate pollution limits that will sicken us all and drive up costs- honored to be interviewed: www.facebook.com/share/v/17Ar...
Appreciate thorough takedown of WaPo anti-climate pro-Bezos editorial. Truth you won’t find in the editorial: In 2009, EPA determined climate pollutants are “air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare”. Two SCOTUS rulings & decades of science back 2009 EPA!
Totally agree on another Jason Grumet point (!) at @bipartisanpolicy.org permitting conference- unless there’s a big change from the Trump administration which tried to block $25B in almost complete offshore wind projects only a month ago, then bipartisan permitting reform won’t happen.
I low key agree with Jason Grumet on one point- the Trump administration is breaking norms and trying to block all clean energy and without changes to that we are looking at a dystopian future. @bipartisanpolicy.org permitting conference
The INGAA speaker probably could see my eye roll from the back at @bipartisanpolicy.org permitting conference when she complained that people don’t want more of their polluting pipelines and infrastructure in their communities & fight at every step. Hopeful note: communities know pipelines pollute!
At @bipartisanpolicy.org permitting reform hearing Rep. Gabe Evan take aim at the Clean Air Act, lying about how wildfire smoke events are dealt with- these are called exceptional events and absolutely do not mean local industry has to reduce their pollution.
We had a deal on the table to allow the year-round sale of E15, but House Republicans couldn’t get out of their own way.
At a time when markets for Illinois farmers are being decimated by President Trump’s trade wars, they deserve better than this uncertainty.
Republicans promised to deliver for farmers and families. Instead, they excluded farm aid, family aid and year-round E15 from their government funding bill. It’s time Republicans grow a spine or admit they won’t.
Was that a Freudian slip because his Big Oil friends are always in his ear about how ethanol is really just a plot of China’s trying to unseat American Fossil Dominance?
My brain just melted in multiple ways but particularly the last bit- “people don’t do this w/out people in power making it seem ok.”
1. Trump gave the middle finger and said “F you” to a UAW worker ‘proudly’ just two days ago.
2. ICE guys aren’t known for their mild manners and polite words.
There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He really is doing all of it.
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

For the people in the back: the TRUMP administration is COVERING UP the fact that THEIR ROLLBACKS of environmental safeguards MAKE US UNHEALTHY AND KILL PEOPLE.
