If you are wondering who paid Rachel Bade for this ad… actually, you probably did!*

Utilities charge their EEI dues in your monthly bills. 🤷‍♂️

See * in next tweet…

"Greed isn't intellectual. Greed is a gangster."

Pastor DeWayne McCoy joined United Ratepayers in Las Vegas to demand an end to utility price gouging that's hurting working families across the country.

Organized people can take that power back. ⚡✊ #EEI2026

[Phoebe Sweet @phoebesweet]

$62.88 of my utility bill this month went to @MyBGE profits thx to a rigged system. Check your bill here: https://t.co/cMJ2kkxWhJ.

As @Edison_Electric brings together utility execs in #Vegas this week, I’m joining advocates to call for greater utility accountability. #EEI2026.

Trump is paying companies $1B to NOT produce clean energy: it's like we're in the upside down?!

[B.W. Carlin @BaileyCarlin]

One of the funniest videos of all time.

- Slips like a cartoon character on a banana peel
- Professional photographer there
- Woman literally jumping for joy
- So embarrassed he runs runs away
- Raucous cheers for the top embarrassing moment of his life

Load is growing three times faster in ERCOT than it is in PJM. ERCOT is coping successfully with minimal impact on rates thanks to its embrace of solar, wind, and batteries. In PJM, which is resistant to renewables, adequacy is threatened and rates are skyrocketing.

.@sahilkapur: "If @SenateGOP move forward in defying the parliamentarian...do you see that as" undermining the filibuster?

@SenSchumer: "It's going nuclear. Plain and simple. It's overruling the parliamentarian. And second, what goes around comes around."

[Andrew Bates @AndrewBatesNC]

Republican Capitol Hill veteran Austin Weatherford: The
@SenateGOP "should publicly reaffirm @LeaderJohnThune's January promise: the parliamentarian stays."

"Once you bulldoze the Senate’s neutral referee, you’ve punched a permanent escape hatch through the filibuster itself."

[Andrew Bates @AndrewBatesNC]

.@ktumulty sides with @LeaderJohnThune on protecting the filibuster: “Now its Senate Republicans who want to undermine the filibuster”

Thune in January: Overriding the parliamentarian is “totally akin to killing the filibuster. We can’t go there. People need to understand that.”

[Andrew Bates @AndrewBatesNC]

.@thehill last month: Tillis "added that he would not be supportive of overruling or replacing the parliamentarian in order to allow the bill to be scored at the planned levels. 'That’s nuking the filibuster as far as I’m concerned. … That’s just ridiculous,' Tillis said. 'Those are all versions of nuking the filibuster.'" https://t.co/3XcGi20DMh

[Andrew Bates @AndrewBatesNC]

.@LeaderJohnThune was right to say overriding the parliamentarian is "totally akin to killing the filibuster. We can’t go there."

It would backfire in the future, letting @SenateDems undo:

-Fossil fuel leases
-Natural gas export approvals
-Mergers
-SEC decisions
-NLRB orders

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

GOP raising energy costs = big mistake.

“Congress may put this tax credit on the chopping block. That would be a big mistake… Eliminating the 25C tax credit would mean fewer options for homeowners, higher taxes for families, lost business opportunities for contractors like me.”

[Stop LNG Exports @stop_lng]

The Trump Administration just approved deadly, costly exports from the CP2 LNG facility. You can thank the corporate polluters who bought access to Trump & the justice system that cares more about keeping billionaires happy for this destructive facility moving forward. #StopLNG

[Eric Michael Garcia @EricMGarcia]

Real shades of Sue Lowden saying that people used to bring their chicken to the doctor. #IYKYK

[Stop LNG Exports @stop_lng]

"It was already no secret that US LNG exports will drive up domestic gas prices. Last month’s analysis from Biden’s exiting DOE affirmed as much. And the industry knows it too." @Sierra_Magazine

[Jay Inslee @JayInslee]

Because Donald Trump wants us to remain addicted to fossil fuels and enrich his buddies in the industry, he is cutting off funding for clean energy projects that are lowering costs and putting people to work. It's pathetic.

California’s oil and gas companies avoided paying billions of dollars in taxes that could have been used to fight the inferno. https://t.co/bbEhDdVNuL
