As India attempts to slash planet-warming emissions, electric vehicle sales are skyrocketing. But it was a donation of one EV rickshaw that transformed the life of a 38-year-old transgender woman named Preethi. https://t.co/MTRRPvjueb

One of the programs set up to ensure affordable internet for all is set to run out by the middle of 2024 unless Congress takes steps to renew it. That could end access to affordable broadband for the more than 20 million households that use it. https://t.co/YSawPqyDtJ

This is the story that prompted someone to email me and @kavish___ to call us "AP slugs." Please read to see if you agree (not completely sure why Jeff wasn't included in the slugging)

[Jeff McMillan @JeffMcMillanPA]

In the case of restrictions on gender-affirming care for youths, model bills allow a handful of far-right groups to spread a false narrative based on distorted science, critics say. My latest with @kkruesi and @kavish___

[AP News Guild @APNewsGuild]

AP News Guild started bargaining with @AP management a year ago. We still don't have a contract. We are seeking higher pay, more parental leave + vacation benefits, stronger reproductive policies & more. We deserve better.

States are racing against a deadline to challenge the map federal officials will use to divvy up the nation’s largest-ever investment in high-speed internet.

NEW: In cities across the U.S., four major internet providers are charging the same price for drastically different speeds.
