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.

China's Clean Energy Boom Could Win the Race to Power the Future Beijing is selling clean energy to the world, Washington is pushing oil and gas. Both are driven by national security.

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!

Letters: Medicaid expansion has worked for Louisiana. Let’s not turn back We are approaching the 10‑year anniversary of Louisiana’s Medicaid expansion. Since the early 2010s, our uninsured rate has dropped from over 22 percent to around 10 percent. More than 600,000

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.

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...

GOP spending bill could threaten AZ clean energy jobs, report says Arizona has been one of the biggest losers nationwide when it comes to canceled clean energy investments under the Trump administration, according to a new report. And more job losses are likely.

Hard to call it pro-growth when you're gutting jobs and raising costs.

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, CBO predicts The nonpartisan analysis is based on the House-passed GOP legislation.

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

World Bank Forecast Underscores Cost of U.S. Trade War Along with a sharply downgraded projection for global output this year, it urged a “course correction” on trade to help preserve living standards.

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.

Infographic showing a timeline and illustration of houses with a large ocean wave and lightning bolts with the title, "A stormier future with climate-driven hurricanes:" A timeline showing: "2024 - One of the costliest Atlantic hurricane seasons on record, with an estimated half-a-trillion dollar price tag in total damages and economic loses. 2050 - The number of intense hurricanes could increase more than 100% globally. 2100 - Stone inundation levels during hurricane surge events will increase 2 to 3 feet as a result of sea level rise."

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...

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...

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser Suggests Black Lives Matter Plaza Will Be Painted Over The announcement came just a day after a Republican congressman introduced legislation threatening to withhold millions in federal funds from the city unless the street mural was removed.

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...

YouTube video by Brian Tyler Cohen BREAKING: Republicans try to UNDO Democratic win

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.
