WINNESOTA.

For the first time ever, Minnesota has an NBA & NHL team in the second round in the same year.

All-time series for Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels. The game-plan they had on Jokic and Murray made that 2-man action look human. All of these convos we’ll have about the Nuggets is as a result of those 2 guys completely outplaying Denver’s 2 best players. On both ends!

Climate change is already reshaping our energy systems, our health, and even the basic medicines we rely on. But progress continues, and we can help. ⚡ Good news: Global investment in clean energy hit a record $2.3 trillion last year, outpacing fossil fuel investment for the second year in a row. 🦠 Not-so-good news: New research suggests that warming temperatures and drought may be fueling antibiotic resistance in soil, making infections harder to treat. 🌿 What we can do: The Nature Conservancy's free guide offers simple ways to get outside, from bird-watching to planting for pollinators to my personal fav: finding new ways to “wander and wonder.” Pick one thing and give it a try this week! talkingclimate.ca/p/how-warming-…

We had a great time at Brescia University in Owensboro, KY at their Earth Day celebration. Had great conversations about CCL and Permitting Reform. @citizensclimate @BrettCease @RepJamesComer @RepGuthrie @SenMcConnell @RandPaul

Highlighting independents: 46% “worry a great deal” about climate change 46% think climate effects are “underestimated” 47% expect it to “threaten their way of life” (Note near-zero D support vs. Trump denial onslaught. “Climate hushers,” be damned!) news.gallup.com/poll/708050/cl…

We're ten days out from this event! Looking forward to this conversation with CCL Executive Director Ricky Bradley, @billmckibben and @NPR Climate Desk reporter Rebecca Hersher. See you at the @BKLYNlibrary April 30! #EarthMonth

30 seconds of inspiration... CLIMATE HOPE University of Vermont @citizensclimate chapter leader, Sadie Ruth, gets it DONE. #CCLNE2026 #grassrootsclimate clubs.uvm.edu/organization/c…

Of course Citizens United signaled the end of climate legislation, as unlimited fossil fuel dark money was brought to bear on Congress.

New study: most climate models underestimate the decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC. The AMOC is on course to slow by more than 50% by the end of the century. Very likely the AMOC will then be past the tipping point for full shutdown. 😨 us.cnn.com/2026/04/16/cli…

We’re living in a moment of stark contrasts: awe-inspiring reminders of our place in the universe, alongside urgent warnings about the state of our planet and everyone who inhabits it. Here are a few of the stories that stood out to me this week. 🌖 Good news: The Artemis II mission gave us a rare, powerful perspective on Earth, reminding us just how unique and fragile our home is, and how much we share with each other. 💣 Not so good news: The latest State of the Global Climate 2025 confirms Earth’s climate is more out of balance than ever, with the vast majority of excess heat, equivalent to multiple atomic bombs per second, being absorbed by our oceans. 🌱 What you can do: From tree planting to community farming, the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Aga, Nigeria show how local, values-driven action can protect people and nature, and inspire others to do the same. As always, use what you learn here to start conversations this week about why climate change matters and, even more importantly, what we can all do to build a better world. We can't do it alone, but we can together: and having a conversation is the first step! talkingclimate.ca/p/a-view-from-…

When CCL Bozeman noticed a major lack of snow this season, they got creative with a public display of homemade snow people. Their efforts earned them a segment on two local TV channels! Way to get crafty for climate change awareness @cclmontana💪 #grassrootsclimate

This one was important to me. Give it a read and let me know what you think. @citizensclimate “While some are focused on tearing down, blocking, or slowing progress, our generation gets to be the ones building. That matters.”

Linda Lancaster is one of Massachusetts' quiet heroes. Her nonpartisan message reminds us of the value of democracy and advocacy. @citizensclimate "empowers everyday people to bridge divides & build political will for effective climate solutions in Congress." @USRepKeating

Hey @grok, what's the leading cause of rising homeowners' insurance prices?

Texas is deploying battery storage so fast that it's almost keeping up with the other 49 states... by itself!

Several records on the Texas grid the last two days: 🔋1st time batteries met 20% of demand (!) and went over 10 gigawatts 🥇 Renewables provided 79% of power demand at 1:10 day, highest ever 😎 Solar exceeded 32 GW and met 65% of demand, both firsts. #txenergy #txlege

I feel great that permitting reform negotiations are back on. Thank you to everyone who helped — Republicans, industry folk and all. Please know that more nonsense on offshore wind and more solar stopped on Secretary’s desk, and we go back into pause.
