To save the U.S. auto industry, California should double down on electric vehicles OPINION: Despite the Trump administration’s efforts to kill the electric vehicle industry, California should move ahead with policies to bolster it, Jennifer M. Granholm writes.

“If Washington pulls back, California must lean forward.” - @secjengranholm.bsky.social

One thing policymakers can do? Pass #AB1777, a bill that would cut pollution from diesel trucks and accelerate the transition to a modern goods movement.

GOP budget is betrayal of the middle class & makes life more expensive by cutting healthcare, food, clean energy.

We are at the Capitol led by @repyassansari.bsky.social to read the bill to the American people.

Dems are pushing 400+ amendments & fighting to stop the bill on the floor.

Everyone who wants rooftop solar in NJ should be able to get it. It saves money & it’s good for the environment.

Tom Kean is canceling the program that helps people do that (sec 25 of the tax code).

We should fight for it and make it as easy to use as ordering takeout.

Why We Hosted a Town Hall with Congressman Ro Khanna and How We Believe We Can Have a Better Politics By Will McConnell and Ellie Seiter of Hunterdon County

Ellie Seiter and I write about why we hosted an NJ-07 town hall with @rokhanna.bsky.social.

This is the politics that we grew up believing in: one built on community, informed debate, and a personal connection between voters and inspiring new ideas.

Rep Tom Kean Junior won't meet with #NJ07 constituents to talk about issues - so over a thousand of his constituents held a town hall meeting without him. Here's video of Rep. Ro Khanna addressing the crowd. 🧵

Here are just a few projects that Congressman Tom Kean Jr and his colleagues killed in the last budget. We want to be fiscally responsible in #NJ-07, but I am not sure it should start with lead water for the citizens of Hopatcong. Maybe it can start with taxing corrupt stock trades?

Clean energy powered 40% of global electricity in 2024, report finds Thinktank says solar has been fastest-growing energy source for last 20 years, but remains dwarfed by hydro power

This is a time to accelerate deployment of clean energy, not slow down. And America should lead the world. Let's elect a Congress that understands that in 2026.

I just got off NJ07 Tom Kean jr’s phone “town hall.” He answered literally 2 questions from the live audience. He answered several other written questions by reading obviously pre-written statements. The bar is so low. Very sad!

US negotiators to meet with Ukrainian and Russian officials soon.

NJ7 Tom Kean Jr’s silence on Ukraine is the silence that history remembers with contempt.

We brought this message to him & to orgs (including some that had supported him) looking to get involved in 2026.

This is a photo of Americans in WWII liberating Sicily, where I spent much of my childhood. God bless America. 🇺🇸

We will not switch sides. Trump and his ambitious lapdogs do not speak for the rest of us.
