The U.S. Senate just voted to pollute one of Minnesota’s most beloved places: the Boundary Waters. Let’s be clear why: more money for billionaires. Twin Metals and its parent companies are mega-corporations owned by a billionaire family based in Chile. They have a long track record of pollution and environmental devastation, and despite their assurances that this mining is “safe,” decades of research show otherwise. Twin Metals would bring fewer than 750 jobs to the region, with most of its operations being autonomous and remote, but it risks thousands of jobs in tourism and hospitality. The BWCA is the most visited wilderness in America, attracting almost 150,000 tourists and over $80 million in annual spending to the region. This won’t bring long-term prosperity. It will cost us millions in healthcare and environmental cleanup. Mining can be done right, only in the right places. This is the wrong type of mine, in the wrong place. All watersheds are connected. What happens in one place harms another, and pollution near the BWCA will migrate into the BWCA and the surrounding watershed. Republicans are in the pockets of big corporations that want to threaten our Minnesota heritage and one of the most pristine environments in the nation. We must take back the U.S. House and overturn this reckless policy.

@LittleCongress Isn't this against everything Trump stands for and his & republicans policy and agenda? Why would the current administration allow foreign mining on US soil? -and then have OUR MINERALS sent to China?!?

BREAKING: The Senate just voted 52-47 to let Trump bomb Iran without Congressional approval. The Founders gave war powers to Congress for one reason: To make sure no single man could start a war alone. That protection just died in the Senate.

@Pepper_Rides @LittleCongress Democrats are the ones that put the protections of that land in place. Trump's administration literally put the process to a halt during his 1st term. Use some critical thinking skills.

@Matteynice @Laleh42371258 @ImtiazMadmood Well I'd take Jimmy Carter over the mullahs so at least the Shaw isn't going to murder anyone- (Xs 40,000+ just recently) Then they can have free elections and decide for themselves 💃🕺

I have a sneaky suspicion that the Iran war will start to die down because there have been things happening on the ground in Iran that nobody is aware of but which will change everything. Everybody has been so focused on the bombing and missiles and the Strait of Hormuz that they’ve not been paying attention to the words said by several high profile people involved with this war over the past few days. I think we’re about to have a whole new Revolution in Iran, but unlike the Islamic Revolution, this one will a Revolution that removes the Islamists and gives Iran back to the Iranian people. Something big is coming. And it’s going to be glorious. - @MorEdge_Insight

@CaptainAdvance1 @MatthewWielicki That's great news! Only one trip around Sagittarius A! Bill Gates is going to block the sun for us because these wimpy volcanoes we got in the Holocene can't hang

@Pepper_Rides @MatthewWielicki 😂LOL. Looks like we're going to headbutt PNG & Indonesia in a few mil yrs. That should slow things down. Apologies for the earthquakes. Extra Rim of Fire volcanoes should cool things a bit. Some future scenarios like Pangaea Ultima do see us back near Antarctica in 250 mil yrs!

Governor, electricity isn’t the whole energy system, it’s just a slice of it. That 40% number applies to electricity, not total energy… and even there, it works largely because fossil fuels are doing the heavy lifting when wind and solar can’t. But the real issue is what your ‘clean energy’ narrative leaves out: Modern society depends on high-temperature industrial processes that renewables simply cannot deliver at scale or reliably: Steel → blast furnaces ~1,500°C Cement → kilns ~1,450°C Glass → furnaces >1,500°C Petrochemicals → continuous high-heat processing These aren’t optional... they’re the foundation of infrastructure, housing, and manufacturing. Wind and solar produce intermittent electricity, not on-demand, high-density thermal energy. So what fills the gap? Still overwhelmingly fossil fuels. And here’s the contradiction: You celebrate “innovation”… while using government policy to: Restrict oil & gas development Block new baseload capacity Mandate intermittent generation That’s not innovation... that’s politically choosing winners and losers in the energy system. If renewables were truly superior on reliability, cost, and scalability, they wouldn’t need mandates, subsidies, or restrictions on competitors. Colorado’s success isn’t because government got out of the way, it’s because reliable energy sources are still quietly propping up the system behind the scenes. Let’s be honest about this… not just play politics.
Governor Jared Polis@GovofCO

Clean energy isn’t the future — it’s already here in Colorado. With renewables now powering more than 40% of our electricity, we’re proving what’s possible when we invest in wind, solar, and innovation instead of standing in the way. coloradosun.com/2026/04/10/col…
