Hassan: "You have clearly stated in the past that bodily autonomy is one of your core values ... when was it that you decided to sell out the values you've had your whole life in order to be given power by President Trump?"

And thanks @NYC_DOT! This was a hard battle worth fighting. Our family appreciates how much safer it has become to go to swim, for a run, or to drop our kiddies at The Tiny Scientist. 🙌🏻

Just in: 110-year old Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre voted today in Oklahoma. I’m told she voted for Vice President Harris.

In today's WSJ, former General William McRaven, one of America's greatest modern warriors, writes that Trump fails every single test of character that the military reveres and that he betrays George Washington's model of civility and discipline that is the model of the American military. "Mr. Trump has no self-control. He lashes out at immigrants, religious groups, and military heroes. He lies with reckless abandon." He compares Trump to a "disturbed 15-year-old boy." He says he won't be voting for Trump, adding "I think George Washington would agree."

This is the best. In a speech with many great lines.
"Those who came before us - the patriots at Normandy and Selma. Seneca Falls and Stonewall...they did not struggle, sacrifice, and lay down their lives, only to see us cede our fundamental freedoms...[and] submit to the will of another petty tyrant" - @KamalaHarris

Kamala Harris: "Unlike Donald Trump, I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail. I'll give them a seat at the table."
“Testifying to Congress last year, Eric Andersen, the president of Aon, the world’s largest reinsurance intermediary, said, ‘Just as the U.S. economy was overexposed to mortgage risk in 2008, the economy today is overexposed to climate risk.’”
Also a strong closing paragraph.
#Climatechange is leaving homeowners w/o coverage & policymakers scrambling for a solution. “We don’t want a situation where the gov't is underpricing policies, & then it is untenable to change prices b/c of political pressures.” @harvardhbs Prof. Sen: newyorker.com/news/the-finan…

An important partnership. FEMA flood maps are flawed, so it’s good to make this data available to homebuyers.

You thought Project 2025 was just a threat after the election? It's actually happening *right now.*
The fossil fuel industry's favorite Senators, Manchin and Barrasso, just put forward a plan to fast track fossil fuel projects. Here's the deal 🧵
Good the Tx part works but the bill must not pass w the massive LNG giveaway that would “lock in new GHGs equivalent to 165 coal-fired power plants or more” and “erase the climate benefits of building 50 major renewable electricity transmission lines.”
It is Project 2025. 😱
WOW this permitting bill is great! I think the #transmission parts (I'm focused just on that, others can comment on the rest) could really help grow the economy, meet load growth, increase reliability, and help decarbonize. Here’s why. 🧵 1/10

3/5. Our enemies know this. Which is why they all, without exception, support Trump.

Electric exchange between @SecretaryPete and @RepScottPerry: "Given time is limited, I will confine myself to addressing the factually incorrect portions of what you have said, beginning with the assertion that EV sales are going down. They are in fact going up..."

The FHWA is clear: congestion pricing is ready to go. @GovKathyHochul must follow the law as passed by the State Legislature and allow congestion pricing to be implemented as planned.
NEW: the feds have offered final approval for congestion pricing. @MTA has posted it. This, 9 days after @GovKathyHochul ordered a pause. #NBC4NY
“Waters across the Atlantic’s tropical belt are hotter now than in any other late May…outpacing by wide margins the previous late May record-holder in 2005, a year remembered for one of the most active and destructive hurricane seasons in modern history.” yaleclimateconnections.org/2…
Why is @nationalgridus still a member of @aga_naturalgas? @EversourceCorp did the right thing and ditched the outdated group. @SenMarkey said it best: “Americans are already paying the price of climate change. They shouldn’t have to pay the salaries of those who are fueling it.”

OK so let’s talk about the TikTok vote today. Because the amount of woefully misinformed calls and social media outreach over the last two days PROVES that we had a problem. Thread:
