Don't tell us BAAJA isn't good for the climate. @rff modeling shows that by incentivizing interregional transmission, the bill would make clean energy more valuable to the power sector, displacing fossil generation.

.@SenatorHeinrich to @BlakeTroli on what Democrats will do with their House and Senate victories beginning in January: “I think all of our policy efforts should really align with that North Star of making stuff cheaper.”

Listen to Senator Whitehouse, who is correct
Also 👀 in @PunchbowlNews AM: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said he "vehemently disagrees" w/Dems who want to wait until 2027 on permitting if they win control of Congress, calling the strategy "ill advised" according to a transcript I got of his remarks at a @ShopFloorNAM event in RI

I think having won an election on a strong affordability message, Democrats should pass the affordability bill.
Well, it looks like that "permitting reform" deal is DOA. Democrats would be literally insane to pass that bill now.

Most of the things we'd imagine Democrats can do at the federal level in the next two years to address energy affordability are covered in BAAJA (grid/transmission, utility oversight, preventing attacks on clean projects, large-load cost allocation/data centers).

Hakeem Jeffries on Morning Joe: The American people don't want us to get even. They want us to get things done on their behalf because life is way too expensive. We ran on affordability, we won on affordability, and now it's our job to govern on affordability.

Ohio has its first Democrat-led Congressional delegation since 2011, with 8Ds and 7Rs. This map was unanimously approved by the Ohio Redistricting Commission last year, drawn by Republicans to tip toward a 12R-3D delegation.

Ohio is the best state in the country and we just positioned ourselves to climb these rankings again and retain and bring back our young people. Ten toes down, every day including Sunday, I love my state. I am so proud of Ohio tonight.
