The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it. 🔌💡

Alright everyone. Republicans are going to force a vote on their gender affirming care provision even though it violates Senate rules. They’ll need 60 votes to keep it in. Now is the time to make your voice heard and ask your Senators to stand on the side of health care freedom.

It isn’t over yet; currently a full read of HR1 (the big beautiful nightmare bill) is going through a full read in the Senate. Call those switch boards, contact your senators. If they voted No in the roll call, let them know it matters. Silence is complacency 5calls.org/issue/hr1-on...

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

Emerging from my Saturday hole to say that if you have a GOP senator, you need to call them to oppose Medicaid cuts in their budget bill. If you need to appeal to their mercenary side, note that the funding cut will eviscerate the hospital system, especially in rural communities. ☎️ (202)224-3121

#hotweather tip. Lawn chairs can be strategically placed over or beside plants that are particularly vulnerable to the sun for blocking the heat at least part of the day. Net laundry baskets are also good temp shade. #heatwave 🌱🌺🌴☀️

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!
