President Dumpsterfire never delivered on his “Concept of a Plan” to replace Obamacare, can’t figure out how to get us out of a senseless war he started, but has time to redesign an airport he never uses. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Maryland is about to begin collecting a $75 annual fee on every public EV charging port, which will slow EV progress. Reach out to the Chief of Weights and Measures to support a sensible, fair approach to strengthening Maryland’s charging infrastructure. share.nwmd.social/s/CFRchrTV

The BUILD America 250 Act includes a punitive annual fee targeting electric vehicle drivers — a fee that is unfair and economically unsound. Contact your representative today and urge them to vote NO on the BUILD America 250. share.nwmd.social/s/fK9xVlcx

Scotland just delivered one of the most powerful clean-energy statements in modern history. On multiple occasions, the country’s wind turbines generated around 200% of national electricity demand, producing far more power than Scotland itself needed. It can be done!!! No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #renewables

🇪🇸 Spain's electricity in 2000: 56% fossil, 2% solar & wind. By 2026: 44% solar & wind, just 17% fossil. The crossover came in 2023. Gas now sets the price only 15% of the time vs 89% in Italy. More in my forthcoming Substack newsletter 👇 janrosenow.substack.com/

The hantavirus outbreak is a stark reminder that hollowing out CDC and walking away from WHO leaves Americans and the world more vulnerable. So far, this disease outbreak is small. The next may not be. That's why we need to rebuild CDC, rejoin WHO, and address disease spillover at the source.

While President Donald Trump accused the WHO of demanding “unfairly onerous payments,” the alternative his administration is considering carries a price tag about three times what the U.S. contributed annually to the U.N. health agency.
