Climate action in the US is going to be a state and local matter over the next couple years. As such, it's more important than ever to connect with politicians & journalists near you and build trust to enable future actions.

To ease this, I've put together a list of state-level starter packs.

A Trump Judge Just Nixed Overtime Pay for Millions—and Media Yawned Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”? Well, this ruling exposes Trump-MAGA hypocrisy on the working class—and reveals a big media failure.

Inflation Reduction Act Repeal Would Hand Billions To America’s Economic Competitors Inflation Reduction Act repeal, a target of the incoming administration, would hand $66 billion in investment to other nations and cost America $50 billion in exports.

No wonder America's biggest companies + Republican politicians are pushing back. Me on @forbes.com
