Feel pretty confident I am the only diehard Texas Tech fan who finished canvassing 67 doors for @AbdulElSayed and promptly found a bar to watch end of the game (not easy during a Michigan game). #WreckEm
Huge @fwaction crew knocking doors for @CaitforNewYork! So proud of all the work we’ve done in NY-17.
Let’s go win!
Not great!
Some newsy nuance in @GovKathyHochul answers, asked by @TweetBenMax: will she reconsider fracking ban?
Hochul says she's "not hostile" to natural gas supply...but hydrofracking brings risks. Says unless extraction techniques prove safe, the ban stays.

The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

Thank you to @RepRashida and @RepBonnie for introducing the Monitor Microplastics Now Act! We have so much evidence linking microplastics to health concerns, and it's long past time to monitor and regulate these pollutants. tlaib.house.gov/posts/reps-t…
When the permitting deal is too bad for (checks notes) John Podesta, I think the abundance nerds might have lost the plot a little bit.
SCOOP: Former Biden senior climate advisor John Podesta said senators should renegotiate the bipartisan permitting deal & he believes the bill’s permit certainty language hands Trump a “loaded Howitzer” to go after public lands.

👀 Great questions from 4 Dem Senators on the permitting deal’s “inherent logical inconsistency”.
"The promise of BAAJA will only succeed if President Trump takes care it is faithfully executed. The administration’s record gives us no basis to assume he will."

Over the summer of 2026, our four interns researched 12 data center proposals across six Southwestern PA counties. If they're all built, they could add enough gas-fired power to equal about three-quarters of the electricity the entire state of Pennsylvania used in 2024.

Conflating clean energy and data centers is a policy choice—a choice we shouldn’t make!!!
NEW POLL: More than 3 in 4 voters (76%) would support a new transmission line in their community to connect more clean energy to the grid.
In contrast, voters are 40 points less supportive of building transmission lines to connect more AI data centers.
![Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress. Title: Voters Support Transmission Lines for Clean Energy, but Oppose Them for AI Data Centers.

Yet another community in Pennsylvania sends AI data center developers packing!
The movement truly gets stronger every day.

the explicit justification for this legislative deal by Sen Dems Whitehouse & Heinrich is that this is a climate bill that will reduce emissions. The fact that now its proponents are admitting that the emissions benefits are hazy punch a pretty large credibility hole here
Great to see @AyannaPressley and @chrisrabb campaigning for @AbdulElSayed today in Detroit and emphasizing that the real power comes from the people!
