These are my opinions only. Don't get bent out of shape.

@BradleyRHaywood yes!!

"Just because we're stuck with NextEra doesn't mean you have to be, too, Virginia. The $10-a-month in bill credits won’t be enough once the honeymoon period dies down and you face hefty rate increases..."

Great work Del McClure!

Yesterday, I joined several colleagues at @GovernorVA Tenant Protection Roundtable. We discussed the tenant protection laws Dems passed this year, including 4 of my bills (HB329/HB527/HB834/HB837). We must listen to tenants and communities as we work to keep families housed.

[Clean Virginia @clean_virginia]

The NextEra-Dominion merger would result in the largest utility monopoly in the country, and @ltgovhashmi is asking all the right questions — 64 to be exact — about how it would impact the people living, working, and raising families in the Commonwealth. https://t.co/dq015uq8e0

Proud to collaborate with @sgpekarsky, @TeamFreedomVA, @jonesjay, @splcenter, and @AARP on Click to Cancel, which made WJLA’s Top 5 new laws impacting your life. Honored @GovernorVA is highlighting it too

[Brandon Jarvis @Jaaavis]

In a letter, Lt. Gov. Ghazala Hashmi is urging SCC commissioners to ask a lot of questions before the official review process of the Dominion and NextEra merger starts. https://t.co/Ntk6T7UNsi

Policymakers must ensure that at-risk populations do not lose access to essential utility service during extreme heat, according to a new NCLC report, Protecting Access to Essential Utility Service During Extreme Heat & Climate Change

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”

Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”

Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”

Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”

A billionaire wants to put 1 billion into separate bank accounts that have $250,000 in each (so they are protected by FDIC). How many bank account does he need?

[Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies]

1 million seconds ago: about 2 weeks ago.

1 billion seconds ago: 1994.

1 trillion seconds ago: 29,000 BC... Predating recorded history.

You can't EARN that much money. A system that allows trillionaires while others struggle to afford food needs fixing.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: DoorDash has patented a system that lets companies offer promotional deals based on how stressed you are.

States are passing bans against surveillance pricing, and Big Tech is spending big to crush them.

We uncovered the $13K wine-and-dine that defanged Maryland’s ban.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?

[jay speer @jayspeer2]

What a relief! I was really worried about credit card companies when I heard this.

[Alex Johnson @AlexH_Johnson]

Impressively bad answer.

“The credit card companies, who we are super tight with, aren’t in trouble. In fact, they make more on delinquent customers than they do on on-time customers. They are thriving, so don’t worry.”

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Which gene does @EricTrump have that makes him a “great builder”? I’d ask him myself but he blocked me for recommending “Fuck Trump” Christmas ornaments to him six years ago.

“A megamonopoly of this size, with the kind of money to buy political influence that NextEra will have, will be nearly impossible to regulate.”

[NCLC @NCLC4consumers]

Gas prices have spiked. Groceries are up. Childcare costs hit $1,230 a month nationally. Rent keeps climbing. And families families are paying the price.

This isn't bad luck. It's bad policy. #ProtectConsumers

[Activate Virginia @ActivateVA]

"Virginia grants that privilege under one condition: put customers first. Any company seeking to inherit that monopoly must prove it will honor that obligation. And if NextEra’s history is any indication, it is likely to fail that test."
