Janeese4DC@janeese4dc.bsky.social · 6mo agoHealthy rivers mean healthy communities. As mayor, I will protect our historic waterways like the Anacostia River.

Facts: @janeese4dc.bsky.social co-introduced multiple bills seeking to lower utility costs for DC residents.
Poor oversight contributes to higher bills from Pepco, read more 👇
Zach Teutsch@zteutsch.bsky.social · 7mo agoKenyan McDuffie delivered us all higher Pepco bills. A new @markrodeffer.bsky.social piece in @51st.news explains the details. "Kenyan McDuffie could have scrutinized utility rate hikes and defended struggling ratepayers. Instead, he sided with utilities. Now D.C. families are paying the price."
Love to see it, congrats @janeese4dc.bsky.social

DC residents paid for this study with their tax dollars. District law required it to be released years ago. It never should have been withheld from the public. As Mayor, I will be transparent with DC residents — even when I disagree with a policy.
Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle.bsky.social · 7mo agoNEWS: @mayorbowser.dc.gov has very unexpectedly released a report @ddotdc.bsky.social finished five years ago on what implementing congestion pricing in D.C. would look like. She had refused to make it public since it was done, but now calls congestion pricing "the wrong policy at the wrong time."

A quiet climate majority is getting louder
Rare's research suggests Americans are more aligned, more supportive, and more willing to engage on climate solutions than our public discourse reflects.

The Governor of Virginia just passed a Grid Utilization Bill on a consent agenda through both the House and Senate. Properly managed load growth can actually reduce electricity rates for everyone. 2026 is not about revolutionary tech. It’s about industrializing what already works.

D.C. mayoral hopeful pledges more affordable child care amid shrinking budgets
A proposal from Janeese Lewis George aims to make child care more accessible for families. But the city would have to fund it during an economic downturn.

"The move is expected to upend most U.S. policies aimed at reducing climate pollution." The Trump administration is giving free rein to polluters to destroy our planet for profit. We will all pay the price in higher costs, more extreme weather disasters, and dirtier air and water.
EPA to repeal its own conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the planet and threaten health
Known as the endangerment finding, the decision is the legal framework that allows the EPA to regulate emissions. Its reversal could upend many climate change policies.
nbcnews.com
As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org
There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
