Apparently there’s a lady named Dana White who is an DoD public affairs assistant and I guarantee you someone recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White and nobody is allowed to correct him lol

@evergreenaction is supporting the Senate permitting bill (BAAJA). Here's why (🧵):
First, we have to transition to clean energy if we hope to have any chance of lowering costs or tackling the spiraling climate crisis;
Canada should join rather than pay. PM Carney knows how important this is. The EU should be flexible about admitting Canada, close out admitting Australia, and start negotiating recognition with California.

Nic was a lovely guy, hyper-smart and super-dedicated. I loved working with him on Sundlun team and after. A GREAT Rhode Islander.

Holy crap. Is it not now obvious to everyone except fossil-fuel-corrupted Republicans that fossil fuel pollution is causing dangerous upheaval of normal weather patterns? Florida once again is getting it first and worst.
The harm fossil fuel pollution causes America is estimated above $700 BILLION per year. That gives a huge motive to corrupt politics, and the industry is embedded in the corrupt Trump administration, running things from inside.
Americans want more affordable energy. Our bipartisan permitting reform bill gets it done.

Jay was good to me when I came to the Senate, and came with me to Aldrich Mansion in RI, where his kin resided.
He was essential to the warrantless wiretap and CIA torture program Intel investigations and supported my cybersecurity report.
I will remember those days with him. Rest in peace, Chairman.

With our permitting bill, we can build affordable clean energy and create good-paying jobs in the process.
A cleaner, more abundant future awaits.
When even the PolluterPage warns this is a bad idea, you know it’s a REALLY bad idea. (They’ve basically been the PR outpost throughout the polluters’ years-long scheme to capture the Court.)

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) would encourage new generation facilities, transmission lines, and reduce energy prices.
Employ America estimated that this would produce up to 105,600 jobs in manufacturing, construction, and other industrial sectors.
Here’s some good news: Revolution Wind is officially fully up and running, ready to deliver clean, low-cost energy to New Englanders!
.@CFRI1834 does heroic work supporting some of RI’s most vulnerable children and families.
Glad to secure federal funding to ensure that kids with mental health challenges receive individualized early intervention that meets their needs.
ALT Sen. Whitehouse stands with Children's Friend staff.
They also said the unlimited money would be transparent, a hotly-disputed fact they decided without basis, and refused to correct when events proved them irrefutably wrong (“clear error,” one might say).
