It would be an historic own-goal if Democrats used their victory to work with the repudiated Trump in order to allow Big Tech build to gas pipelines to data centers without environmental review. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
Head of @USCleanPower Jason Grumet says on a press call that BAAJA in the lame duck "is the first test of Democrats' willingness to make the tough choices needed to actually reduce energy prices." Clean energy industry trade group standing by the bipartisan permitting bill

Fetterman spent the last two years being an enormous asshole, secure in his assessment that Dems would need him in 2027. That turned out to be a bad bet!
It's the end of John Fetterman's political power as a Democrat. Up until recently, it was a real possibility that he could be *the* kingmaker, with the threat of a party flip constantly a live ball. Today, it's irrelevant โ€” Democrats have 54 Senate seats and could go to 56.

Will Dems pass a bill heavily shaped by Mike Lee, determined foe of public lands and environmental law, just as they are about to take control of the Senate?
I think having won an election on a strong affordability message, Democrats should pass the affordability bill.

This is a pivot, and BAAJA is not an affordability bill. BAAJA is estimated to save US households just pennies a day. BAAJA is an all of the above energy bill that makes it possible to build natural gas pipelines directly to data centers with no environmental review.

Will Dems now tie themselves to a bill that was written when Mike Lee and the GOP were in a dominant position of strength?
Dems shouldn't wait on permitting. BAAJA is a good bill, and the filibuster and veto don't go away in January. But the real reason is 2029: as @ppavnr & I argued in @WSJ, reform takes years to implement, and we need to hit the ground running, especially on energy affordability.

There were so many boomerang effects, where Trump and the Republicans profoundly underestimated the demand of the American people to defend and protect their rights, their democracy, and the quest for justice.
Republican voter suppression tactics had a boomerang effect in Georgia, says author Carol Anderson: "You want to take away my voting rights? Not today, Satan."

The political mood music for BAAJA could not be starker. Voters hate data centers. They hate Republicans. Don't negotiate an "all of the above" more electricity plan to fuel data center demand with lame duck Republican Chairs! Have regular process!
Data center moratoriums going 41-0 is wild

part of the climate comms work moving forward will be to separate out transmission lines and clean energy from data centers and other kinds of toxic development #BAAJA running roughshod over communities and allowing all kinds of building w little review makes that SO much harder
cites voter anger over data centers and transmission lines in conceding defeat

You thought it was a bad night for Republicans? Take a look at data centers.

Among other things, this is an absolute rebuke of the war in Iran. Democrats would be wise to heed that lesson and truly become the anti-war party.

This initiative has passed: called by the AP. The fight will move to the courts but it is an unequivocal, bipartisan repudiation by voters of Michigan's two investor-owned utilities as toxic entities.
Michigan's first-of-a-kind proposal to ban monopoly utilities from making campaign contributions is soaring, fueled by populist outrage at rate increases and utilities' obscene political spending. Extremely early but this is coming in from red and very blue counties alike.

Looking mighty close in Memphis #TN09, where Justin Pearson (D) is very much in the hunt for a shock upset win despite Republicans' gerrymander in Tennessee, which made the 9th district *64 points* redder, from Harris+43 to Trump+21

Remember when all the Big Tech, Wall Street, Big Law, media, and universities bent the knee to Trump? That was less than two years ago.

I would bet my left arm that voters have *no idea* that permitting reform is on the ballot, and they are going to be PISSED if the first thing Democrats do after tonight is work with Republicans to pass a bill that helps Big Tech build gas pipelines to data centers.
The voters are sending a clear message tonight: It's time to pass permitting reform.

Not one single person believes this is true. Israel doesn't believe it. Washington doesn't believe it. Nobody reading about it in the New York Times believes it. But we're hearing about it anyway like it's a real thing, because too many powerful people want more bombing in Iran.
BREAKING: Israel has informed the United States it has intelligence that Iran is 'considering the use of chemical weapons against its adversaries', according to New York Times report.
