Please join me in opposing significant cuts proposed to Rhode Island’s Energy Efficiency Programs! I oppose these harmful cuts to energy efficiency – a key defense to rising energy costs as well as the foundation to acting on climate. Learn more: acadiacenter.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/u...

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

β€œIf 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.

I would personally like to hear from my senators, @whitehouse.senate.gov and @reed.senate.gov about what they plan to do about these unconstitutional kidnappings & deportations, and why they saw fit to confirm Marco Rubio in the first place. /2/end

This is an enormous scam designed to get X’s dwindling value and collateralized debts (which likely are imperiled due to Tesla’s crashing stock price) off Musk’s personal books.

🚨 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.

β€œIn the venture capital game, sooner or later, someone has to get fucked. And it is very rarely the venture capitalists.”

That a large swathe of journalism is being walled in at substack is a HUGE red flag.

That SS cofounder is gaslighting ppl about SS’s Nazi contacts is also a huge red flag.

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.

β€œThere are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated."

"This is a very real threat to the American flying public.”

Donald Trump or

Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our
livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself.
The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk.

Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ‡️
