READ and SHARE this powerful op-ed from a Toyota dealer:
"But even with those we love, we must tell them when they’re falling short...Stop supporting climate deniers, give me more E.V.’s to sell. Toyota can do better."

🧑‍🔧🇺🇸 Many states could see demand for thousands of front-of-the-meter, behind-the-meter, charger maintenance, and repair jobs from the investments driven by the IRA tax credits.

[Senate EPW Democrats @EPWCmte]

Republicans are pushing a plan to overrule the Senate Parliamentarian & effectively kill the filibuster.

@SenWhitehouse, @SenSchumer, & @SenAlexPadilla press the Presiding Officer to make clear Republicans are going nuclear. Democrats won't forget this. https://t.co/Zy6MUZxqqd

[Senate EPW Democrats @EPWCmte]

Our friends across the aisle are so set on making it easier to pollute our air they’ll break the Senate.

They should be eyes wide open about the consequences. https://t.co/9D08hWQvkD

[Senate EPW Democrats @EPWCmte]

Senate Republicans are planning to overrule a state policy and effectively eliminate the filibuster.

They’re so determined to pollute our air, they’ll break the Senate to do it.

[Sierra Club @SierraClub]

The House of Representatives just sold out Americans to polluters in an attempt to sidestep the Clean Air Act and go after clean air protections granted to states. 

Thank you @RepJimCosta for voting NO to this attack on our communities! #CleanerCars #CleanerTrucks

ICYMI: The 🚗 industry that opposed LIFE-SAVING safety protections like *seat belts & air bags* are supporting a Senate bill that would prevent EPA & DOT from considering the best available technology to protect communities from tailpipe pollution. 🚨 https://t.co/bhxr1nFBG0

"Duffy, with his ties to the fossil fuel industry and alarmingly regressive views on climate & equity, cannot be trusted to put the needs of the public over the whims of Trump and the desires of his friends in the fossil fuel industry." @UCSUSA: https://t.co/6E0zvW2MMx

My friend faces a huge bill she doesn't owe because @dcwater won't go after the company that skipped its bill. When will you take action to stop this from happening to Washingtonians?  @CMCharlesAllen @MurielBowser @DCAttorneyGen

[Scott Taylor @ScottTaylorTV]

DC Water charging condo owner thousands of dollars after developer, HOA disappear. @7NewsDC @dcwater https://t.co/4xuu12yfap

[Madeline Page @mrosepage]

Sharing my story is really vulnerable, but I’m mad as hell that DC puts scofflaw developers over its people. This only a fraction of DC’s dereliction of duty in my story and many others. I’m still waiting for answers from @CMCharlesAllen @MurielBowser @DCAttorneyGen @DCWater

🚨@MassGovernor & @MassDEP’s decision to delay life-saving protections against diesel exhaust will cost residents up to $758m in health impacts.

[Dave Cooke @ucsdave]

Truck OEMs @Cummins @DaimlerTruckNA @VolvoTrucksNA @KenworthTruckCo @IntnlTrucks are manufacturing product shortages to generate pushback on @AirResources regs adopted by states around US. This tactic will cost lives & breaks their Clean Truck Partnership. https://t.co/6DyU0egFT6

Day 2 and we’re hearing poignant stories from Hyundai and Kia workers about their working conditions at manufacturing facilities in Alabama. #JMAINLA2024

[ATHENA @Athenax9]

Who is cutting onions? 🥺 New Flyer workers talk about the benefits of working with @JobsMoveAmerica & getting a CBA. #JMAINAL2024

[ATHENA @Athenax9]

TY to @newflyer and @JobsMoveAmerica for the union-made bus manufacturing facility tour & discussion about their Community Benefits Agreement. #ElectrifyEverything

[Right to Zero New York @RightToZeroNY]

As holiday shopping picks up, New York needs to tackle pollution from mega-warehouses. These facilities operate 24/7 and produce emissions equal to power plants. It's time for our leaders to support the #CleanDeliveriesAct.
