Lowering the Medicare age to 50 would cost $180 billion a year. That's $70 billion less than the budget increase the House passed for the Department of War. We could have healthcare over warfare. I'm proud to cosponsor @RepJayapal's bill to lower the age from 65 to 50.

@tayasbaltimore and @InvestigativeV begin an investigation into the allegations that cop watcher @LongIslandAudit is being surveilled by law enforcement and may potentially be at the center of an indictment to make an example of the cop watching community. therealnews.com/long-island-…

I often see people claim that because clean energy sources like solar, wind, or nuclear are manufactured using fossil fuels their emissions are high. But thats absolutely not the case: even accounting for full lifecycle emissions they are vastly better than burning coal or gas:

The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th. That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days. Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.

This is how fast oil use can disappear. China's reduction in oil consumption during the first half of 2026 due to the replacement of fossil vehicles with electric vehicles exceeded the UK’s entire oil consumption during that period. China’s CO2 emissions fall in Q2 2026 due to plummeting oil use carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi… @CarbonBrief

Solar is doing more to reduce energy poverty than any other tech! Solar is now the single biggest addition to grid capacity in many African countries. Ten countries will each add at least 1 GW of solar between 2023 and 2026. ember-energy.org/app/uploads…
