The conventional wisdom is the Democrats' big climate law failed to deliver votes and then died. That's wrong. My new study finds its factories moved 2.5 million votes—more than Trump's margin. And the law's still alive. My latest in @theatlantic.com. Gift link! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Bidenomics Was More Successful Than People Think

Conventional wisdom holds that Joe Biden’s bet on climate investment was a bust. The data suggest otherwise.

I've tried to keep my support of Peggy on the positive side because the DFL must be united after August 11. But this is classless behavior by Angie Craig, who too often sees cynicism and ruthlessness as good politics!

minnesota state senator john hoffman revealed tonight at the peggy flanagan rally in st. paul that angie craig asked him for his endorsement for US senate while he was still in the ICU after vance boelter shot him really appalling anecdote!

If anyone's wavering on getting an induction stove I will sell you on it all day long. It's a gamechanger, this is just one of many reasons.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

Proud to stand with Bernie Sanders, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, and Tina Smith in support of @peggyflanagan.bsky.social.

And Keith Ellison, who is suing the fossil fuel companies for their part in all of this

If you're as pissed about the wildfire smoke as I am, channel it toward climate action: help elect climate champion @peggyflanagan.bsky.social to the US Senate and a DFL trifecta in Minnesota!

Democrats have a lot to gain - and nothing to lose - by talking about climate! As wildfire smoke chokes our communities, Minnesotans want to hear what candidates will do about it. electricnotes.news/p/yes-democr...

Yes, Democrats Should Talk About Climate.

Talking about Climate Change is a Political Winner.

Kinda sick of this concept that environmental crimes, if punished at all, only incur (insignificant) fines for the company. This should get you prison time.

Elon Musk's xAI has installed more than double the number of gas turbines than it has publicly acknowledged to power its Colossus 2 data center project, without federal permits, and the pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest reut.rs/4bIghEm

I'm finally digging into the cross tabs underlying the @searchlightinst.bsky.social memo telling Dems not to talk about climate change. It surprised me, but may not surprise you, that the memo lies about what US swing voters actually said in the polling. Let's have a look, shall we? 🧵

Such a strange time for this message. If I didn't know better I'd assume Jaime was talking about John Fetterman or Jared Golden.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

Why the European left should always be pro-AC: - Ceding this popular issue to the right empowers them; in power they'll gut climate action far more than any AC "emissions." - AC runs on solar. Breaking news: The sun shines when it's hot. - AC saves lives. HEAT PUMPS FOR ALL! (AC is a heat pump...)

Wind, solar and geothermal are looking better than ever. Cheaper. Better for our health Better for national security. Better for our climate future.

Oil shocks from Trump’s Iran war might do exactly the opposite of what he wants—pushing people towards cost-effective alternative options like clean energy. https://grist.org/economics/iran-war-oil-demand-destruction-renewable-gas/

The Republicans aren't beating the "Give Everyone Cancer Party" allegations.

The WI GOP told me WisDems keep eating their Supreme Court candidates so I asked how many candidates they have and they said they just go to Menards and get a new candidate afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding candidates to WisDems and then Scott Walker started crying

Honored to be endorsed by the Sierra Club 🌎 We need bold action on climate, clean air, and protecting our natural resources—and I’m ready to get to work. From clean energy to environmental justice, this fight is about our future. #CrystalMN #PlymouthMN #GoldenValleyMN #RobbinsdaleMN #SD43DFL

Extremely proud of this endorsement - @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is the climate champion we need!

Peggy Flanagan@peggyflanagan.bsky.social · 6mo ago

The DFL Environmental Caucus is fighting for the future of our planet. They work tirelessly to make sure that our kids will have a livable Minnesota to call home. I'm honored to have earned their endorsement.

The ICE surge must ramp down as quickly as possible so we can get on with important recovery efforts, such as purging from public life anyone seeking statewide office who thought the federal government brutalizing Minnesota was a fine idea and just what we deserved.

If you think Minnesotans sat around and waited for some politician to tell them to protect their neighbors, oh honey. You don't know Minnesotans at all.

Ron Johnson to Keith Ellison: "Two people are dead because you encouraged them to put themselves into harm's way! And now you are exploiting those two martyrs. You ought to feel damn guilty about it. Yeah, sit there and smirk. Smirk. It's sick! It's despicable. You disgust me."

New worst Minnesota Republican just dropped

Very proud to announce this endorsement! Peggy Flanagan is the best choice to build on the outstanding work that Tina Smith (who has also endorsed Peggy!) has done in the Senate. She has my full support!

Minnesota Attorney General @keithellison.bsky.social and I are hosting a call TONIGHT to share how you can support Democrats as we organize to protect our communities, push back against ICE, and demand accountability. Sign up here: win.dnc.org/grassrootscall

Never forget the Minnesota GOP invited Nick Shirley here & plied him with intel, resulting in targeted harassment of innocent people and ultimately, this occupation.

For ease of navigation and sharing, I have turned my little list into a website: standwithminnesota.org

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

Ok, I've shifted my reporting trip to MSP to next week to catch the couple of days when it will be all the way in the 20s. Tossing out a call for contacts: I'm looking for folks who are new to activism and who have been pulled into what's happening there in ways they didn't expect. DMs are open.

Any church in America that has stayed neutral or supported the ongoing federal cruelty against Minnesotans should consider what it means to take the Lord's name in vain.
