Burgum: "Nobody's electric bill has gone up because of a data center"

While legal challenges mount, Trump officials keep coal burning at Michigan power plant The Trump administration continues to issue emergency orders keeping Consumers Energy's J.H. Campbell power plant open, a move that could cost ratepayers millions.

Trump is forcing dirty and outdated coal plants like Michigan’s Campbell coal plant to stay open against the wishes of the people in those communities.

He is poisoning our air and water and making taxpayers pay millions of dollars a day for their continued operation. #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

The National Weather Service used AI to create a forecast for Idaho. Low chances of wind for the nonexistent towns of Cocrerrireod, Orangeotild and Whata Bod www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

1,600 workers laid off at Glendale, Kentucky, plant as Ford continues major EV pivot The Glendale facility will now support the energy storage demands of data centers, utilities, and large-scale industrial and commercial customers, Ford said.

This is the impact of Trump's big ugly bill.

We should be focused on the future, but his short-sighted attack on clean energy has made it too expensive. And Kentucky workers are paying for it. bit.ly/4j1jbXq

It’s easy to feel like the sky is falling with the Trump administration's attempts to ban clean, cheap energy.

But there’s reason for hope. We’re making progress lowering costs, building clean energy, and tackling climate change all across the country.

Long thread of wins you may have missed 🧵👇

The two Democrats who surged to surprise victories on Tuesday and flipped seats on Georgia's Public Service Commission are already having material effects on the state's monopoly utility.

Both Jefferies *and* Goldman Sachs just downgraded Southern Company on regulatory concerns. 👀

It’s easy to feel like the sky is falling with the Trump administration's historic, unprecedented assault on clean, cheap energy.

But there’s reason for hope. We’re making progress on climate and clean energy in states all across the country.

E.P.A. Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change

This is anti-scientific, immoral and economically irresponsible. I say this without hyperbole - when the history of this era is written, Donald Trump will have been responsible for more deaths than Stalin, Mao and Hitler combined. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/c...

"Republicans are actually going to increase costs to energy bills everyday Americans pay by hundreds of dollars a year."

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been on the floor since 4AM calling out GOP's Big Ugly Bill.

⏰ They could vote ANY MINUTE NOW. Tell your Reps to #VoteNo at (202) 224-3121

Senate Republicans just voted to kick 20 million Americans off their health care.

JD Vance thinks that is "minutiae."

Ernst doesn't care because "we're all gonna die."

McConnell says people will "get over it."

Don't EVER let Republicans live this down.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

Harry Enten on Trump's bill: "The amount of disapproval for this bill -- holy cow, my goodness gracious! We're talking about 29 points underwater ... we're talking about a negative 41 net favorability rating among independents. You rarely ever see proposed pieces of legislation as unpopular"

The Bullwark just posted this from Padilla's staff, that's Senator Padilla on the ground.

Deploying military force against our own communities in LA is heartbreaking, terrifying and wrong. It is also very clearly part of a broader assault on the foundations of our democracy that is dangerous and relentless

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why.

SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

Q: What is Donald Trump going to do about climate change?

LEAVITT: The president cares very much about our environment. He also cares very much about our energy independence.

Where Robert Prevost, the new US-born Pope, stands on climate change:

"Prevost is outspoken about the need for urgent action on climate change"

What if big ol’ energy companies also announced new CEOs with smokestacks oh wait

This Earth Day feels dark, but I’ve got my green on and am all in to keep working with my @lcv.org colleagues to protect our air, lands, water, climate, democracy and so much more to ensure better days are ahead🌎!

“The way we succeed is through having supporters all around the country that care about tackling the climate crisis, that care about our democracy, and that step up and stand with us.”

LCV’s new president Pete Maysmith is ready to fight back on his first day.

‘It’s a bloodbath’: Massive wave of job cuts underway at US health agencies | CNN A massive wave of job cuts got underway at US health agencies Tuesday, with some employees receiving early-morning emails saying their jobs were eliminated and some unable to access the building when ...

Musk's DOGE cuts just hit Health and Human Services and it's horrific. They are trying to completely eliminate the entire Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program which helps millions of Americans with their heating and cooling bills. It is the middle of winter. It was 1°F in Utah today.

Our governors have a message for America: We are still the masters of our own destiny.

“Beautiful clean coal”

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

utterly insane frame to this story: we are in the middle of a DOGE-facilitated government shutdown right now and Senate Dems are being asked by voters to tie any support for a CR to the condition of ending that shutdown and reopening the federal government

Dems in array! This is the time we’ve got to stand up.
