Surge in battery manufacturing coupled with the fact that it take 5 to 7 years to get a gas generator, hopefully means we’ll see electric utilities & regulators turn to battery storage as the capacity and reliability mechanism (so called base load) going forward www.canarymedia.com/articles/ene....
Really seems like states should take home grown extremism more seriously (won’t even bother with hoping for this with the current extremist-in-chief).
Heartbroken for Minnesota and all people who have been working hard for basic things like school funding, affordable healthcare, and housing.
If we had a functional government, they would be focused on how to prepare for this development instead of further descend us into a crypto grift
It is likely that quantum computers will soon be able to break the encryption methods that secure your passwords and anything else kept under digital lock and key. Here's a little demonstration, purely for illustrative purposes, to give a better sense.

Most Americans now say the government should do more to solve problems
Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...
Getting a housing package update this Friday. Hoping I can share a solid update soon after!
Both housing and transit are positioned for policy movement better than they ever have been in Michigan. Cautiously optimistic!
Girl, are your legs tired?
Because with all that running over your entire caucus to join the GOP and bend a knee to fossil fuel billionaires I’LL BET YOU’RE PRETTY TIRED
New First Street analysis shows that, in a severe weather year, weather-related foreclosures could cost US lenders $1.2 billion per year, with potential losses projected to increase to $5.4 billion a year by 2035, driven largely by underinsured flood events and the increasing cost of insurance.
🚨 The DeVos family is building a new political war machine, fronted by washed-up Trumpers like Shane Hernandez and Ronna McDaniel, and backed by a mountain of billionaire cash. Their plan? Flood the state with dark money and flip Michigan red in 2026.
This isn’t democracy; it’s oligarchy in action.
Dear brands:
If your Mother’s Day email doesn’t include at least 30% off, the best gift you can give me is silence for one damn day.
💐 Thanks 💐
Good morning everyone, House Democrats held a press conference in Lansing this week discussing the chaos and confusion Republicans are orchestrating while driving an economic crisis here at home for many Michiganders across our state.
I spoke about how we are all fed up and tired of playing games.
Really wondering when that arc of justice is finally gonna bend

Who's responsible for the climate crisis?
Two new studies try to answer this question: but whichever way we slice it, the answer doesn't change much.
The wealthiest are disproportionately responsible for the greatest emissions, and that's why climate change is so unfair.
An explanatory thread 🧵
DOGE guy at the CFPB owned verboten stocks.
He was explicitly warned by ethics lawyers that he wasn’t permitted to take any action that could benefit those companies — and him.
He then helped fire workers anyway.
Including the ethics lawyers who warned him.

Every environmental policy decision in 2025 is like “is it good for the environment? No. But is it at least good for the economy? Also no”
Am I the only one cheering their kid on at this basketball clinic?
Yes.
Simply don’t care if others are wet, silent noodles for their kids.
📢 I’m loud and proud 📢
My interview with DOGE lad Kyle Schutt appeared totally focused on probing the organization for weaknesses.
I think this is probably the only purpose of the interviews: To get, from the minds of people they are about to fire, intel to use for future firings.
Standing up for your state can and should look like this.
Well done, Gov Mills!!

Minnesota’s clean energy policies are paying off. By investing in renewables and energy efficiency, the state has kept electricity costs below the national average and saved families hundreds of millions of dollars.
why voters think democrats are big-ass phonies
gretchen whitmer, yesterday

What it is: The Trump administration is carefully laying the groundwork to restrict abortion pills on the false basis that they're unsafe The first step: releasing a bogus study to support their claims How they did it: So-called researchers as the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) bought access to a health insurance claims database, then simply labeled whatever they wanted as "abortion complications."
A preview of how public data stolen by DOGE is probably going to be used: as ersatz science for flimsy justification of misogynist (and other oppressive) policy

Today, I join Rep. Wegela & fellow reps in calling for Trump to be impeached for his actions:
“President Trump's dangerous assault on the United States Constitution, our co-equal branches of government, and on the American people meets the high bar for impeachment," said Representative Jason Morgan
Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’
Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac.
This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽♂️👇🏽
Called it as soon as she was laughing about Foldergate…

Our community deserves a Representative who actually knows how much groceries cost — and why that cost matters for families.
Instead, #MI13 has an out-of-touch multimillionaire who has more in common with Trump & Elon than any of us.
I'm running to replace him. Are you with me?
These guys had a 15% increase in earnings from 2023 (1.2B) to 2024 (1.4B).
When will ratepayers get that poured into our energy system rather than see these constant rate hike requests?!
It’s our damn money!
She wants fans, not team members holding her accountable to be stronger against Trump.
Hard pass.
