Honored to be featured in today's @LasVegasSun after speaking at the inaugural Southern Nevada Extreme Heat Summit.
The nation's two fastest-warming cities: Reno (#1) and Las Vegas (#2). In 2024: 527 heat deaths. 112 days at or above 100°. A high of 120°.
This is not just weather. It’s a public health emergency — flashing bright red.
Grateful for leaders like Commissioner @TickSegerblom who don’t just talk about the crisis — they feel it. Literally sat in a simulator of a 120° bus stop. And led the Summit to address the issues. That’s leadership.

So very fortunate to get to work with @PaulPrez914! He is smart, hardworking, and always has my back. He has played and plays a major role in building the Council and our work.

Affordability is an environmental issue.
Energy, insurance, housing, health care: climate change and pollution are driving costs up. Today, I'm joining GA PSC Commissioner Alicia Johnson & @FlaDemEnvCaucus' Pres. Judy Freiberg to talk about the issues and how to connect on them with voters.

If you're running for office in 2026, or helping someone who is, there's a part built for you: how to campaign on affordability through environmental policy, and what to do once you're in.
Florida is a battleground, and these are winning issues. Hope to see you there.

Excited and looking forward to hearing from Florida Representative Emily Gregory, who just flipped Trump's Mar-a-Lago district - she is speaking too!

As I told Wyoming Democrats: We aren’t going to let a man who cannot get through a sentence without making it about himself decide the future of our country.

My first boss in politics, Paul Wellstone, often said, “You can remake the world daily.”
As I told my friends in Wyoming, the opportunity and responsibility to make our country a better place is why we must put in the hard work to elect Democrats across the country.

Let me answer that question for you: Betrayal.
This is an industrial project that the community did not and does not want. And it is subsidized by taxpayer dollars. That's right: ordinary Michiganders are paying so that Altman can get richer.
We should never be subsidizing corporate profits and bigwig CEOs getting richer.
Saline data center brings out bigwigs. Big day for Michigan or big betrayal? bit.ly/435dLUf

Billionaires got richer during a pandemic that killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Trump has already added more than $3 billion to his net worth since the start of his second term.
And they have the nerve to call a living wage "too expensive."
We see right through it.

A planned Bitcoin mining data center in Kentucky estimates that it will use as much power as 800,000 HOMES 😳
The fact that any company thinks that’s acceptable is truly astonishing – and just proves that all they care about is profits. fwwat.ch/4fQkvN3

Las Vegas recently hit 104°F — breaking a May record set in 1990.
This is the city that's warmed 6° since 1970. Reno? Nearly 8°.
Our Chair @MDeatrick was in Nevada this month speaking at the inaugural Extreme Heat Summit. This isn't a future threat. It's happening now.

Politicians must be for we the people.
Not for personal profit.

Public office should serve the people, not corporate insiders looking to cash in. We deserve leaders who will actually fight for us.

Excellent news! #ShutDownLine5
The fight isn't over for stopping the Line 5 reroute project, but we're glad that a Wisconsin judge ordered a pause on construction in certain areas. #ShutDownLine5 #CleanWater #IndigenousRights
ALT What They're Saying — about a court halting the Line 5 reroute; oil-splash graphics and "Oil & Water Don't Mix" logo.
ALT "This is a good day for Bad River and Lake Superior, both of which are in danger if the Enbridge reroute is allowed to proceed.... We hope the Court will keep the stay in place and hear us out fully in the weeks to come." - Elizabeth Arbuckle, Bad River chair
ALT "“These are highly sensitive areas, not only for Bad River, which relies on these waters, but also for all the citizens of this state. The Bad River and its headwaters and tributaries are a unique and special place. On this narrow legal issue, the irreparable harm near this waterway which cannot easily be rectified by other means or remedied at law is weighed against the need to show a strong likelihood of success.” - Judge John Anderson
ALT Post from Senator Chris Larson: "Good news for our waterways: An Iron County judge has put on hold construction on part of the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline project while impacts to 4 waterways is reconsidered. This likely means new permits will be needed to resume construction. We simply can't risk irreparable harm to our waters and so - if we can't stop it from proceeding - we at least need to make sure very avenue to mitigate harm is pursued."
