Today is the day the wealthiest Americans hit the payroll tax cap and stop paying into Social Security. As Republicans plan to cut, privatize, and even end #SocialSecurity, let’s sunset the cap, not benefits. #ScrapTheCap

Another easy appliance to electrify is your stove! 🍳
Wondering what type of stove to buy?

As subzero temperatures approached, the Rea family turned on their new heat pump. Outside, it was -18 F. But inside, “You wouldn't have noticed anything if you stayed in the house.”
Heat pumps work, friends. From @ByMarkJaffe for @ColoradoSun: coloradosun.com/2023/01/26/h…
