Upending norms, the Senate votes to undo California's EV rules The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.

In a truly tectonic Overton Window shift, the California Assembly just voted 63-0 to advance #AB609, a major new bill by Buffy Wicks to create a statutory exemption from CEQA for environmentally friendly infill housing.

Fantastic news for both housing and the environment!

when the tribunal asks me if i am now or ever have been an abundance liberal i'll just say "no, i am a supply-side progressive"

CONGRESS, the Judiciary and the Executive are co-equal branches…

Another 4.3" (11 cm) of #snow over the last day brings our season total to 362.99" (922 cm), ~3" (7 cm) over our median annual snowfall of 360" (915 cm).

We had 100% of April 1 median for SWE and are now above average for accumulation too! 1/2

where’s this energy from Grover Norquist

All the news didn’t fit.

Headline saying that Randy Fine wins a special election in Florida.

As of now, this FL-6 story in NYT does not mention that Trump carried the district five months ago, let alone that he carried it *by 30 points.*

I'm not talking about omitting it in headline. I'm talking about the whole story.

“The power of the people is greater than that of the people in power.” @booker.senate.gov quoting John L. Lewis.

Seems like a campaign slogan to me, as there’s a long list of things beyond his caring, let alone any historic evidence of caring other than for himself.
