The No Kings march was truly uplifting and empowering for me yesterday. I met Lady Liberty and Superman, and I got to sing "Do You Hear the People Sing?" I will continue to use my talent to restore our nation to a country for all of us! #NoKingsDay #nokingsnyc #freedomofspeech #democracy

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Fracking’s Broken Promise to Pennsylvania - Inside Climate News Fracking was supposed to lower Pennsylvanians’ electric bills. Instead, they’re higher than everβ€”and they’re about to get worse.

Natural gas companies argued that increasing production would lower Pennsylvanians’ electric bills. But in the last few years, residents’ bills have only gone up.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Majority of Americans want a big power grid and more cheap, clean… A new Conservative Energy Network poll found that two-thirds of likely voters support more transmission lines to boost clean energy and grid reliability.

Voters in the PJM and MISO grid regions are unsurprisingly concerned about rising power prices β€” and support grid expansions to combat them.

We need to pressure ABC/Disney to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel’s program, cease their political collusion with Trump and his FCC lapdogs, and commit to defending free speech: indivisible.org/government-c... #BoycottDisneyABC

History often turns on unexpected pivots. The aspiring dictator has probed the limits of his power by getting a comedian fired. This has been met with significant pushback by both ordinary and powerful people. Tipping points like these can make a difference. 1/x

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Do NOT call the number below to report aliens but you should retweet it, skeet it, whatever, you know the drill, so others know not to call either.

Seriously, what if you travelled millions of light years only to be ratted out by some toad online ?

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
