“On the Fourth of July the Trump administration ended all subsidies for new solar and wind projects in the U.S.A., this heinous and regressive move will cause untold suffering and economic hardship for millions of Americans. One has to only step outside this broiling holiday weekend to see how the fossil fuel industry is destroying our planet.

To turn our back on sustainable energy projects in the midst of an existential climate crisis is akin to throwing your parachute out first before you leap from a plane.

The astronomical profits the fossil fuel companies, such as Exxon (who helped bury climate science and research for decades), are making are enough to bribe Trump and his ideological henchmen like Energy Secretary Chris Wright, to cancel all sensible environmental initiatives in favor of graft and servitude to the oil and gas industry.

It also allows us to fall far behind China in building a national infrastructure for renewable energy. It should be viewed as a national security issue but instead Trump frames environmental sanity as some sort of ‘woke ideology’ and covers up common sense conservation efforts with pablum like ‘unleash American energy’ - which draws cheers from the mindless hordes still laboring under ignorance and denial.

To say this planet is warming is no longer up for debate, to ignore it in this moment is absolute insanity and feeds into the same moronic mindset MAGA has been exploiting for over a decade.” https://t.co/Ez4vvXwIg7

🚨 Trump donor Adam Kidan went to prison after stealing tens of millions from investors.

Trump just pardoned him, allowing him to keep $21.7 million in stolen funds.

Good for her. No navel gazing, just a call to action in a most important election.

Today, I'm announcing that I am suspending my campaign for United States Senate.

And I'm doing it with a deep, deep sense of gratitude. For our thousands of volunteers, for everyone who donated what you could — building a campaign with zero corporate PAC dollars. For my staff, who built this team up from nothing. I thank you.

For my family. For Ray, who believed in me long before I ever believed in myself. And for Noa. Our five-year-old, who presses her hands up against the window to wave goodbye every morning when I leave for work.

"Remember, Mom," she reminded me recently. "It's not about if you win. It's about trying hard and having fun."

She's right. So I want to be very clear about what this announcement is not. I may be suspending this campaign, but I am not leaving the fight.

I never planned on politics. After the 2016 election, I felt lost. I picked up my phone and typed five words into the search bar: "How to run for office."

And here's what I learned: when regular people get in the fight, things can change. In my very first election, we flipped a district against the incumbent. Four years later — with so many of you — we flipped the Michigan Senate for the first time in nearly forty years.

And we didn’t stop at winning. We repealed Michigan's abortion ban. We raised wages. We made sure every child gets breakfast and lunch at school. We made it easier to go to college. We expanded civil rights and voting rights. And so, so much more.

These wins took thousands of us — showing up every single day, refusing to give up when there were setbacks. That's why I'm staying in this fight. And why I need you to stay in it with me.

Now, I haven’t been shy about calling for new leadership and a better Democratic Party. I mean it. The energy is there. People are crying out for change. And we owe it to them to listen.

Then we need to build it up, together, from the ground up.

So here's what we do next. Every day through November 3rd. We win this Senate seat and send Mike Rogers back to Florida for good. Whoever wins this primary on August 4th will have my full support.

Then, let’s elect Jocelyn Benson as our next Governor. Let’s flip the State House, and expand our majority in the State Senate. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ticket and show the rest of this country what it means to fight like Michigan.

Ten years ago, I started this work heartbroken, typing five words into a search bar. And I learned the only thing that has ever really changed this country: ordinary people who love something enough to fight for it.

I love this country. I love Michigan. And I love the little girl who waves at me from the window every morning, trusting the grown-ups to leave her a state and a country worth inheriting.

That's who I'm fighting for.

And I'm not going anywhere. I hope you'll join me.

@adammocklerr It was never about fiscal restraint. It was always about punishing people who tried to help improve lives.

REPORT: Trump’s “Freedom 250” July 4 is in utter chaos right now.

Severe weather rolled in tonight and NPS ordered a full evacuation. MAGA is absolutely furious.

National Guard troops were filmed flipping over picnic tables trying to clear the grounds. Some families gave up and went home furious. Others screamed at Secret Service service and other federal officials.

Trump told Fox he’s doing his speech no matter what, “whether it’s 10 PM, 11 PM, or even 2AM,” because “if they can storm the beaches on D-Day, I can deliver a speech.”

Except D-Day was delayed a full 24 hours because of bad weather. Eisenhower waited it out. Trump’s own comparison proves the exact opposite point he’s trying to make.

If you are in the area, remember to exercise extreme caution.
