I have tremendous respect for the two Democratic Senators who have negotiated the permitting bill with two of their Republican colleagues — a bill that Congress is considering for passage during the lame duck session. I sincerely and respectfully urge the Democratic sponsors of the bill to reconsider their decision to move forward with this legislation. There’s no doubt that we need to reform the way that clean energy projects are reviewed and permitted. But as it currently stands, the bill would be an extremely serious mistake, in my opinion, and would do far more harm than good. Given how this Administration has run roughshod over the environmental laws and protections that are currently in place, now is not the time to give the Trump administration freer rein to double down on fossil fuels — which is what President Trump would surely do. And after last week’s historic election, we will have a new Congress in January that can strike a far better balance.

The permitting bill is a data center accelerator and an oil and gas and utility giveaway. It’s a boon to the big tech barons that the country just rejected. Listen to Al here on why it’s especially bad w a Trump

Dems are finally starting to articulate a clear alternative to trickle-down. Villainizing billionaires is not, by itself, an economic vision. We need to focus on money in the pockets of working folks BECAUSE that’s how we build a strong economy and country.

Awfully satisfying to see this approach to politics actually work
When Democrats run against billionaires, they win! Thank you to @BernieSanders and @ZohranKMamdani for showing the way.

BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen is now considering a run against Chuck Schumer for the Senate’s next Majority Leader. This is amazing. Voters want generational change. Let’s give it to them.

The amount of dopamine my brain generated when I saw this image of Annie Andrews, James Talarico, and Troy Jackson showing up to Senate orientation nearly sent me into a coma.

Gingrich: We're on the verge of losing a seat in Mississippi with a senator who explained that there are less expensive ways to get protein. Now, if you're an average, everyday American in Mississippi and you want to barbecue or grill something and you're being told, you should go and get tofu?

Wes Moore falsified his upbringing and military record, worked on Wall Street, pushed to have Lina Khan fired, and then lied about passing a state ban on surveillance pricing. Not a surprising statement.
Wes Moore: "I lose no sleep over the amount of billionaires in our society." Astead Herndon: "Some people do..."

This guy, like, defies every stereotype of what you'd expect from a megachurch pastor. Funny how much better Christianity is when you don't do the Prosperity Gospel grift.
Adam Hamilton warns that the "wealth is not meant to be our priority. It's not meant to be our God. It's not meant to be worshipped." Between Talarico, Hamilton, and Warnock, we have some good old-fashioned Christian asceticism aimed at our billionaire class.
