Need one more reason why THE FOURTH BRANCH is required reading this summer?

Check out this excerpt from @SJP’s foreword about the power of state legislatures in @bustle!

Who’s gonna tell Republicans about Karl Rove

[toddstarnes @toddstarnes]

Every Republican state MUST redistrict! Do unto the Democrats as they have done to the Virginians. Any Republicans who refuse to comply should be primaried and removed from office. Now is not the time for cowards. We need men and women of courage.

@emilyrbensonn Wow I hadn’t thought of this - A+ commentary

For Trump’s first trip after State of the Union, he’s heading to Corpus Christi to raise our utility rates even more via increased natural gas exports.

Who says Trump’s increased natural gas exports raise our domestic utility rates? His own Energy Department. Supply & demand.

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Two things of note:

1) A “pledge” is meaningless and has no enforcement mechanism. May as well be a pinky promise.

2) This says it only applies to “new data centers.” So all the ones already built are exempt.

That means many won’t even be finished during Trump’s term. Sham.

[Christina Polizzi @clpolizzi]

Electricity costs are a massive political liability for the GOP in 2026 - and they know it.

If Trump & Republicans were serious about lowering energy costs, they'd be investing in more domestic energy. Instead, they're gutting it.

Thomas Kilday, a union worker from the Revolution Wind project, was on a work boat the first time Trump halted the project.

The second time, he was home awaiting his next four-week shift.

Tonight, he’ll sit in the audience as Trump boasts his commitment to fossil fuels.

Me on Trump’s SOTU data center ploy:

[Climate Power @ClimatePower]

WATCH OUR NEW AD: While families deal with rising costs in the real world, Trump is busy enriching himself and claiming it's "the greatest economy in history.”

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Data centers need to pay their fair share to stop skyrocketing utility rates—even Trump has been forced to make empty promises on it.

But massive new air pollution is also huge. People support data centers powered by clean energy, but *strongly oppose* if powered by coal & gas.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

The Grid and the Scam.

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Oil and gas continue to fund Trump to kill off energy projects and raise everybody’s utility prices. They like utility prices being high because the profits go straight into their pockets.

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Congressional Republicans, last seen voting for a massacre of the clean energy production that is the only chance of meeting data center demand, now all trying to find the guy who did this…

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Utility rates up 11% under Trump but gas prices are down…1 cent.

“Taylor Rogers, a White House spokeswoman, credited Mr. Trump’s agenda with lowering gasoline prices…the average gasoline price was $3.069 per gallon on Monday, according to AAA, compared with $3.056 a year ago.”

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Trump Admin continuing to do everything they can to jack up utility rates, then go on TV and say it’ll get better somehow some way at some point.

[Christina Polizzi @clpolizzi]

"The panels on Lawler’s house have helped him avoid the impacts of rising electricity costs. Since he began leasing the solar system in 2016, it has saved him “a few thousand bucks,” he estimated."

Clean energy lowers costs - the GOP is gutting it anyway.

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Trump’s war on clean energy and EVs has cancelled $52 billion in private sector investment, representing 158,000 jobs, and enough power for 12 million homes. Utility rates are up 11% on his watch.

If you asked New Jersey voters the one thing they knew about Mikie Sherrill … well, they’d say she was a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot. But if pressed on what policy she’s most associated with, they’d undoubtedly point to her energy plans. Please check-out my op-ed running in the USA Today Network in NJ and beyond. Governors-elect @MikieSherrill & @SpanbergerForVA down in Virginia embraced clean energy solutions that create jobs, drive down costs and bring about economic security. Reading these tea leaves…2026 candidates from coast-to-coast and all places in between would be wise to adopt similar, bold strategies over the next 12 months. Don’t be frightened to proactively go on the offense and lean into these issues central to the case against the MAGA Republicans who’ve made life more expensive and less secure. https://t.co/lpP2dt7EEq

Trump is bad at policy and bad at human empathy.
