Reasons to buy an EV before Sept. 30
1. 0-60 mph in 3-5 sec
2. Charge up at home (if you have a garage)
3. Climate control is faster than in a gas powered vehicle
4. Minimal maintenance!
5. $7500 federal tax credit (expires soon only thanks to Trump’s β€œone beautiful bill”

Don’t Wait! These EV Deals Won’t Last. Unlike just about every other car sales event, this one has a real β€” congressionally mandated β€” end date.

Advocacy Action Center The Planetary Society is organizing a new space constituency that is educated, empowered, and loud.

The @planetarysociety.bsky.social makes it super easy to send letters to your congresspeople urging them to support NASA science during these trying times. If you believe in the power of science to transform the world for the better, please consider doing this.

Trump says he wants to imprison US citizens in El Salvador. That's likely illegal President Donald Trump keeps talking about sending U.S. citizens who commit violent crimes to prison in El Salvador. But that's likely illegal.

Trump is now talking about shipping U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador.
Let me say that again: U.S. citizens. To foreign prisons.

This is not just unconstitutionalβ€”it’s unhinged.

On today’s episode of β€œHe’s Tearing This S**t Up”—Trump plans to dismantle NOAA, shutting down climate research and weather labs.​

In Texas, that means fewer hurricane warnings, less drought data, & more risk to our communities.​

This isn’t just a budget cutβ€”it’s a threat to our safety.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.Β Β 

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.Β Β 

- All workers get pensions.

These dedicated civil servants are damn good at what they do & our communities are better served by having them on the job.

This sends a powerful message to Musk & Trump that we will not back down & we'll keep pushing until every federal worker can continue their essential work.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires.

This is a bill I cannot support.

We need a government shutdown. They will do that anyhow and you will be complicit in it, if you vote for this bill. It is outrageous.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Even the Best AI Weather Forecasters Still Need NOAA While they’re getting more accurate all the time, they still rely on data from traditional models β€” and possibly always will.

β€œEssentially, these AI forecasts are built on the backs of the giants.”

A crowd of people demonstrating outside in front of the Lincoln Memorial on a clear, sunny day. Some of the signs read β€œScience over Stupidity,” β€œScience Makes America Great,” and β€œTeam Public Health, Not Team Measles.”

Call Him β€˜Green New Donald’ Oh, he’d never self-identify as an environmentalist. But not even climate activists have had the courage to propose a 10% tax on energy.

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Should we really be trusting SpaceX to make the FAA safer as Elon has suggested?

I just finished reading β€œHow to Stand Up to a Dictator” by @mariaressa.bsky.social

If you want to know why the world, especially the U.S. political system, is why it is right now (even though this book is focused on the Philippines) you should read this book.

And then delete Facebook.

One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies.

I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.

Giant corporations are using Donald Trump’s haphazard tariff announcements as an excuse to raise prices.

The Trump Administration has no plan to stop it – and working families will unfairly foot the bill.
