The billions of dollars in the #InflationReductionAct will reshape the political economy of our work. But on-the-ground implementation in states and communities will determine whether the historic legislative win is a historic climate and justice victory. #LetsGo

[Ali Zaidi Archived @alizaidi46]

10 times more greenhouse gas emissions reduction than any climate bill ever passed before —

✅Senate
✅House
➡️@POTUS’ Desk

There’s nothing inevitable about today.

TOGETHER, we made it this far.

TOGETHER, we will tackle the climate crisis, create jobs, and advance justice!

A beautiful, devastating eulogy by @leahstokes. This community left everything on the field in relentless pursuit of a transformative climate package. Grateful for you and all of our children, partners, friends, who are a part of it too. We won’t stop.

@robbieorvis @daveregrets I bet COP is great but have you ever tried debating climate goals at a neighborhood precinct caucus

I can't wait for the day when #energytwitter realizes that alternative proteins is an amazing CDR solution. If the world switched to alt proteins, demand for Ag land will drop by three times the area of China + India! https://t.co/3J92rM3MEE

In the 2 years since @ByJanetMoore interviewed us about our #ecargobike, we:
✅ sold our car
✅ look forward to commutes vs loathe them
✅ avoided ~ 1.7 t of CO2 (powered by cs + wind)
✅ highly recommend

This is it. This is the bottom of the 9th. The 4th quarter. The climax. Pick your metaphor-its our last best chance to prevent catastrophic climate change.

@POTUS @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi must deliver.

Fires in the western U.S. are intensifying earlier in the morning and burning longer into the night, including this year's Caldor, Windy, and Dixie fires. Now, a new study shows nighttime air in the region has gotten drier and warmer over recent decades.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

On #LaborDay and every day, we fight to strengthen our labor movement. We fight to create an economy that works for everyone. Unions built America’s middle class, and unions will rebuild America’s middle class.

Great editorial from the @BostonGlobe on how the Senate can and should take real action on climate change.

Also love this photo of me and @SenWarren. The Senate sisterhood of matching blue blazers. https://t.co/6FfkWgbcOe
