The fraud and corruption are powerful messaging targets, the public hates dark money, and our climate story improves with a villain in it.
- SW
Finally, we are where we are because of truly villainous behavior by the fossil fuel industry, through its massive climate denial fraud operation and its associated dark-money political corruption operation.
- SW
But 92% of Texans are concerned about the cost of home insurance — a tip-top issue — and 66% already connect the dots to climate change. Let’s communicate on that.
- SW
Look at Texas, where electricity generation has gotten cheaper over recent years because low-cost wind and solar surged onto its grid.
- SW
Tell that story, or its wildfire sibling out West, and link it to the fraudulent climate denial operation Republicans run with their fossil fuel donors.
- SW
Florida has a tottering insurance market, mortgages at risk of becoming unavailable unless they can be dumped on Fannie and Freddie, homes that can’t be sold, and the worst decline in property values of all fifty states.
- SW
Add the many expert (often fiduciary) witnesses from my Budget Committee hearings — financial alarms are screaming.
- SW
Fed Chair Powell is useless on climate, but even he sees a near future in which entire regions of the country are unmortgageable, with big hits to banking and the economy as a result of this cascade (look up “systemic”).
- SW
In some places, it’s unobtainable without massive expense (like a new roof) or even at all, in which case your home value falls because no insurance means no mortgage means good luck finding a buyer.
- SW
More powerful in many places is homeowners insurance, a big part of family budgets, one whose cost is skyrocketing.
- SW
Our communications should explain this racket to ratepayers. Once they see the scheme, it’s hard to unsee it. Plus, no one likes being scammed.
- SW
It’s a purposeful scheme to pay back Trump’s big fossil fuel donors using ratepayer money, hoping ratepayers won’t look past their utility bill and understand why that cost is going up.
- SW
That raises the grid price, electricity rates go up, consumers pay more, but fossil fuel interests cash in big time, by billions.
- SW
Start now with electricity rates, being purposefully driven up by Trump. Why? Because when they stall clean energy, the grid must reach up the “generation stack” to fossil plants that would not otherwise be running.
- SW
Until his very last speech, there was no sense of combat, no talk of villains, no warning of consequences (use of “existential” doesn’t count). So we lost four years.
- SW
The Biden administration was particularly bad, hoping to “friendly” its way through climate upheaval with “green jobs” talk, corporate tax incentives and squishy bromides about the environment.
- SW
Let me offer a slight rebuttal on climate politics, beginning with us (enviros and Dems) having done a terrible job on climate communication for a long time. A legacy of bad work is not reason to stop work, it’s reason to do better work. 🧵

My investigation into data brokers shows that data breaches have likely already cost Americans billions of dollars. As scammers get more sophisticated, it is essential that consumers can take steps to keep their information out of the wrong hands. www.wired.com/story/data-b...

Donald Trump has once again deployed massive amounts of American firepower abroad without Congressional approval to use military force. And behind closed doors, our nation's military leaders are raising the alarm about the risks to U.S. troops during a potential attack on Iran... (cont.)⬇️

Trump's VA issued a policy to hurt vets whose medications are working. Veterans pushed back, and today the VA officially walked it back. This is what happens when veterans make their voices heard. This is what is looks like when we organize—not agonize.

This should worry all of us. Trump doesn’t care about safe and secure elections, he just cares about himself and his power.

President Trump is telling us exactly what is he going to do when it comes to our elections, especially if his party doesn’t win. And we need to listen.

It’s this kind of failure to communicate between DoD and FAA that led to the tragic loss of life above DCA. This situation is alarming and demands a thorough, independent investigation. I’ll be calling on the IGs of DoD, DOT and DHS to launch a joint investigation immediately.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are spending more than $144 million on guns, ammo, and “less lethal” accessories for ICE and CBP. We went through the contracts to expose this taxpayer-funded arsenal. Here's what we found: youtu.be/0M5t3tled9o

President Trump has no authority to make an end run around the Constitution. (2/2)

President Trump can’t seize control of or interfere in our elections. The Constitution is absolutely clear: states administer our elections, which is why the courts blocked Trump’s earlier executive order banning mail-in voting and demanding citizens’ data. (1/2)

"[Y]ou have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump's actions and cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers.”

Casey Means has repeatedly questioned the safety of childhood vaccines — despite overwhelming scientific evidence of their safety — and has called birth control pills a "disrespect of life." I will oppose her nomination and push back against this administration's dangerous anti-science agenda.

Trump's Surgeon General nominee is wholly unqualified to lead the nation in making informed public health decisions.

If you're just an average citizen—a mom who goes viral on TikTok, a business owner, a community leader—and the government is weaponized against you, you're just gonna duck and cover. That’s why it is so important for me as a U.S. Senator to push back.

Trump is rigging the system so the biggest corporations can misclassify workers to block them from getting minimum wage and overtime. It's an outright grift & workers should be furious. Republicans will pass tax breaks for billionaires and then stiff workers for good measure.

Trump promised to get us out of wars. Now, he’s threatening another expensive forever war in the Middle East. No more broken promises.

With the SAVE Act stalled in the Senate, Trump is preparing to turn to Plan B: outright stealing our elections. Trump's never been more unpopular, so, he's trying to take away the last remaining check on his power: the will of the people.

What did Trump officials tell the Netflix CEO today at the White House? Looks like crony capitalism with the President corrupting the merger process in favor of the billionaire Ellison family.

I don’t agree with the Trump administration on much but Dr. Means, his nominee for Surgeon General, is right when she says we should ban TV ads for junk food. Obesity is a national crisis and the corporate food industry is largely responsible.

Coloradans love their public lands. These places are treasures. Yet, Trump and MAGA Republicans want to sell them off. No matter what they try to do, no matter who they try to nominate, we’ll always fight back to protect them.
