THANK YOU PHILLY! 🙏 some words on the trip…

Yet again I was welcomed with open arms, thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hello, had pics and chatted with me, a blast to meet so many of you. What a trip, I saw history, 4 wins and plenty of runs! I leave with the Phils in the playoffs spots and getting hot…. Don’t mess this up! 😄
I genuinely feel this city is my second home. Philly is such an underrated city if anyone who follows me hasn’t been out to Philly yet, do it.
Thank you to the @phillies for the batting practice opportunity, always such a class organisation who treat me well! I hate saying goodbye but I have a little boy at home who I always miss dearly on these trips, one day I’ll bring him out too and hope he too catches the buzz of the city and the Phillies like I do!
Goodbye for now, hopefully see some of you in London for the Eagles.
Go Phils!

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

@WVNews247 Why don’t they give WV a grant for a new fleet of horses and buggies? This is welfare for a filthy energy source from the past. This is just taking us backwards.

[Sean Hoffmann @SeanGHoffmann]

This is so messed up. Just blatant corruption bursting out of the federal government. We’re gonna have so much cleaning up to do when this administration finally gets kicked out 🧹

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group. https://t.co/wEAqxMA7AG

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

@Owens_abc27 @abc27News And here I thought seersucker would be out of place in the PA State Capital. Guess I know what my next suit is gonna be!

[Dennis Owens @Owens_abc27]

The seersucker caucus - house and senate, Rep & Dem, united in their fondness for poplin, perfect for summer session day. @abc27news

@CrossMaul @TomABacon Yeah, I agree, this interaction could have been SOO much cooler. Like you’re talking to the only person left in the galaxy who knew your dad, the CHOSEN ONE, in some ways knew him better than anybody, and you’re like “ok, see ya!” lol cmon!

[Sean Hoffmann @SeanGHoffmann]

@AvatarKyber We just never got to see any of this kind of Luke on screen post ROTJ, which felt like a betrayal of the fans. You want to kill him off, ok, but at least give us some of the Luke we’d been waiting decades for before you do him dirty.

[Jonah Maps @JonahA59]

The ONLY way to fix traffic around the stadiums is by funding, improving, and expanding SEPTA. Expanding highway will make it WORSE! Building dense housing in and around the stadium district will also help since those fans can just walk.

@GarrityForPA How does this jive with Sen. Pittman’s stance on not moving data center bills?

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Growing up, Alaska was a place of abundance, from the rivers to the forests to the skies. Now, the salmon, large game, and migratory birds that families like mine relied on have become scarce.

If we want to bring that abundance back, we need systemic change. We need to ban factory trawling.

[Councilmember Jamie Gauthier @CouncilmemberJG]

What's good for the planet is also good for people and our communities. That's what we proved through the Philadelphia Energy Authority's Philadelphia Energy Campaign.

With less than $15 million in funding, we delivered more than a billion dollars in investment and more than 11,000 green jobs. We reduced our carbon emissions by half a million tons while also improving public safety, keeping families housed, and lowering energy bills.

As the Chair of City Council's Committee on the Environment, I'll keep championing green investments that protect our planet, strengthen communities, and save taxpayers money!
