And yet Republican majorities in the #NCGA chose to raise interest rates on predatory consumer loans pushed by special interests over @NC_Governor’s veto. #ncpol

@aantepli Such wonderful news, my friend.

Tanking the economy, running up the cost of the National debt is not the rule of law, properly understood. Tax cuts that were not scored on budget commitments led us here. President Biden’s team protected thousands of jobs by negotiating well.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Speaker McCarthy and I reached a bipartisan budget agreement that will prevent the worst possible crisis – a default for the first time in our nation’s history.

This deal is good news for the American people.

I strongly urge Congress to pass the agreement right away.

@DrBioGC Congratulations! So well earned!

Many thanks to @GabriellaMickel and the editors of @PaceEnvtLRev! Excited to share this piece about heat standards as a way to promote #EnvironmentalJustice for food system workers, and the larger obstacle of "agricultural exceptionalism" limiting needed transformative change.

December power supply problems in North Carolina were due to fossil fuel failures, not renewables. Regional power markets and dramatic increases in solar, wind, and battery storage can increase grid reliability. https://t.co/VeW8g9OQjS

As reported by Duke Energy yesterday, the largest cause of the rolling blackouts on Christmas Eve was coal and natural gas plants generating far less than rated. Between those plant failures and loss of purchases from outside of territory, they lost 2,500 MW of generation.
