1/The permitting bill is out and it’s awesome. HUGE congrats to @SenWhitehouse and @MartinHeinrich. This took years (now we can all see why!) against the backdrop of an administration actively hostile to a lot of clean energy the whole time. 🧵
This might be the cat that convinces me to get a one.
New cat alert! A call from a wildlife sanctuary about a "weird cat" has led to the first new cat species discovered in over 100 years in Bolivia’s Yungas forest ecoregion. Learn more about this feline surprise: on.natgeo.com/JRuaGj

I believe any of us who have decent sized platforms have an obligation to squash misinformation.
There is a misinformation on Renee Good that needs to be addressed.
Yes, I have fact check this information as a journalist using actual sources that are not tough to find even for a non-journalist.
The criminal records being shown on her and her wife are both false.
The photo of her mocking the death of Charlie Kirk is not real.
She was not a domestic terrorist or a bad person just someone who made a tragic mistake.
We do not need character assassination of someone whose family is already suffering.
I’m a MAGA conservative. There is no benefit for me to squash this misinformation other than my obligation to do it.
Very proud of my teams at @VaultedDeep and at @advantekwms for their hard work over many years that earned this recognition. It was also a big surprise to see that Julia and I recognized among their 40 best leaders in business with Larry Ellison, Alexis Ohanian, and others.
Vaulted Deep founders Omar Abou-Sayed and Julia Reichelstein have raised over $40 million and scored Google and Microsoft as customers. trib.al/DPxOG2O #IncBestInBusiness

Plants naturally remove CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. What if we could put waste biomass to productive use to store more carbon permanently? Five #XPRIZECarbonRemoval finalists are proving that is possible. Learn more here. bit.ly/4jCwAEl
Proud to share the news of @VaultedDeep's recent fundraise. It's a huge endorsement of our team and approach to driving high-volume, high-quality carbon removal, and a reflection of how Vaulted's unmatched speed, scale, and quality set us apart in in the carbon removal market.

Big day! We've selected 7 Stripe Climate Fellows (from more than 200 applicants)!
The world needs to rapidly scale *demand* for carbon removal. These fellows will spend the next year advancing several ideas, from government procurement to industry incentives to standards. 1/2

Carbon removal is quickly moving from lab to deployment, but we're still far short of the $20B+ in demand needed each year to support megaton-scale removal by 2030.
Congrats to our 7 Fellows! All exceptional leaders with bold policy ideas to help close this demand gap.

I'm working on policy proposals to protect consumer rights when companies brick smart devices. So please share devices that you've owned that stopped working because the company that made it killed software support or went out of business. Also, please share this request.
