Want to Claim the Solar Tax Credit? Get Installing Now For anyone in the US who can afford to go solar, “now would be the time,” because House Republicans want to end federal tax credits that make it affordable.

“If a homeowner is thinking about solar and can afford it, now would be the time.”

House Republicans want to end federal tax credits that help make solar affordable. If that happens, it could upend the economic calculus of powering a home with sunlight.

Right?!

🚨 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.
🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

But what you going to DO ABOUT IT!?!!!!!

Every Dem in that chamber should have followed the only LEADER on Tuesday and stood and called them out until you were escorted out.

You are failed to meet the moment. NOW is the time for Good Trouble in the Senate.

Hi, broken record here. The same degraded information environment that led to Trump being elected is still in place. Most people still aren't being told what's happening, who's at fault, or what the effects will be. And there's zero reason to think traumatic events will "wake people up."

FAA Employees Say Trump and Musk's Purge Is a 'Threat' to Air Safety Donald Trump and Elon Musk fired hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration employees. The administration argues it won’t affect air safety.
