✅ We're in on permitting reform! "We’re proud to endorse the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, and we’re excited to mobilize our grassroots volunteers in full support," said CCL’s Executive Director Ricky Bradley. citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/policy/...
Permitting reform will protect consumers from data center-spurred rate hikes. Learn👇🏽
- When utilities have to increase grid capacity they invest in new lines, and pass the costs to the ratepayers - This means a portion of data center costs (the second order upgrades they cause the grid) get spread to you the ratepayer (2/5)

This is silly. BAAJA (the permitting deal) has robust provisions to make data centers pay their fair share or MORE! Here's how it works 👇: - Data centers (*sometimes) add costs to electricity bills by requiring grid upgrades to service the new demand (1/5) bsky.app/profile/riog...
“At least 26 senators, more than a quarter of the chamber, hold data center-linked investments … Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island whose data center investments total between $2.1 million and $8.6 million, takes the number one spot.” 👀
Big props to Sens. @heinrich.senate.gov and @whitehouse.senate.gov for getting us to a deal on permitting reform. There has never been a bill in our lifetime that could remove more future emissions from the globe. 🌎 🌞 🇺🇸
Senate negotiators released a bipartisan permitting and transmission reform deal today. The bill could help lower energy costs for businesses + consumers if passed this year. https://www.ceres.org/resources/news/ceres-applauds-permitting-deal-urges-action-to-deploy-affordable-homegrown-clean-energy

US senators from both parties said on Wednesday they have reached a deal to reform laws on the permitting of large energy and infrastructure projects, though a vote will not occur before the midterm elections.
VP @jd-vance-1.bsky.social was eager to join this app and troll the libs… has he anything to say about the Iran War, other than the of course necessary honoring of our fallen service members?
Oh no @aidanmackenzie.bsky.social!!! Mamdani hates the environment now! Guess he was bought over by big oil!!!

This thread is another long-running interactive exhibit in the museum of how the left lost so much, so quickly, and so profoundly, especially on this issue.
For today's horribles: the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on banning trans athletes. It's the most bigoted thing they'll do this term. I'll be jotting down my thoughts here.
People like Mary don’t come around Congress often.
My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska. We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

Sad that this basic call for civility is getting ratioed… this website is something
Saving America from Trump and preserving our democracy explicitly requires that people who voted for Trump change their mind. Which in turn requires that those who didn’t vote for Trump show grace and empathy to those whose change of heart came from being hurt by the guy they voted for…
Should governments intentionally reduce road capacity, subsequently increasing congestion, just to reduce miles traveled? Seems like a poor, inconvenient way to fight climate change (or win elections). www.city-journal.org/article/bide...

If anyone tries to tell you deportations reduce housing costs by reducing demand, remind them they are deporting construction workers.
America lost 7k construction jobs in August, and overall job growth in the sector is now at its worst pace since the pandemic Over the last year, the US has lost 31k jobs in residential construction and only gained 78k jobs in nonresidential & civil construction

Replying to @aexia.bsky.social
it's like the inverse of that "you know the ones" thing "I'd like you to be more ... controversial" "you got it boss, one n-word coming up" "no you should just be politically incorrect" "absolutely, here's some slurs from the 19th century" "act anti-woke" "sure, the camps *were* fake"
The most likely and obvious theory for JD Vance being on this website is it’s a massive trolling opportunity and potentially hotlines crazy liberal takes to the zeitgeist. A low probability second theory is he just likes a version of Twitter without ridiculous racist comments about his family.
Usha and I brought the kids to Mt. Rushmore yesterday as we all get ready to celebrate Independence Day. Today, we're also celebrating passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which will increase take home pay for families all across America. Happy Fourth of July everyone! 🇺🇸

The ignoring of the Tik Tok ban, going back to the very first days of the Trump administration, remains one of its most galling violations of the rule of law.
After recapping #SCOTUS news, today's "One First" looks at Attorney General Bondi's letters to tech companies purporting to "irrevocably relinquish" their liability for violating the TikTok statute. Parliament abolished the King's "dispensing" power in 1689, and it has no place in U.S. law, either:
