What's happening in Texas (and possibly NY, CA, IN, and elsewhere) around gerrymandering is a reminder: The Democratic Party needs to invest in winning state legislative races *every cycle, all the time.* You never know when a crisis will hit and we'll wish we had more seats or different leaders.

Weβve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and itβs being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isnβt even nihilism, itβs outright worship of death and human suffering.

I heard there used to be a political party that believed the federal government shouldn't tell private owners what they can and can't do -- you know, free market.
Wonder what ever happened to them...

Yes to this energy. π₯π₯π₯
I'm all for getting rid of gerrymandering nationally, but Dems can't be the bigger party and unilaterally disarm until the GOP is willing to do the same on their end.
Great to see Newsom, Hochul, and Pritzker all leading the charge on this. Keep up the fight!

These are all good signs and I hope Dems - both at the national and state level - builds on this.
FWIW I am not worried about Dems' low approval ratings that DC's chattering class is having a field day with.
If Dems fight - people will show up to fight w/ them and then vote for them.

Agreed.Lots we can work on and fix and I love this country too much to let the far right ghouls have it and wreck it.
And I think things will feel less rudderless the closer we get to the midterms and as we get into presidential primaries.

You individually recycling, planting a tree, etc. doesnβt really matter.
Large policy levers do though β pushing us to lower emissions, more collective sustainability of supply chains and products.

Another example of βmoney for me, but not for theeβ from this corrupt, awful Trump administration and the Republicans letting him get away with it.
No money for healthcare, science, veterans, or disaster relief, but totally enough for a Trump vanity project. π

The fact that Burgum referred to sunset as a βcatastrophic failureβ is hilarious in its own merit.
But itβs like these people are completely ignoring that energy storage is real and growing EXTREMELY fast β and they know if they acknowledge that, their flimsy argument completely falls apart.

A big push on reaching GenZ better has got to be a focus ahead of the midterms because too often theyβre clueless.
