I've been quiet on Twitter lately, but I must celebrate the life of @WSpriggs. Bill's passing is a tremendous loss. He was a powerful advocate, thinker, mentor and friend who moved the field of labor economics. I'm so grateful to have known him. @AFLCIO @EconomicPolicy @HowardU

I'm honored to officially become the President Pro Tempore of the Senate today. It's not lost on me the significance of what it means to be the first woman to serve in this role. This is another sign that slowly but surely, Congress is looking more like America.

Truly a trail blazer. Thank you @SenStabenow for being among the 1st in Congress to understand deeply how clean energy can be an engine of good industrial jobs for US workers. Thanks too @SkyePerryman for all your vision and leadership. It’s a joy knowing you.
Skye Perryman (she/her)@SkyePerryman

20 yrs ago, my first job in DC (thx @HendricksB 😉) was w/ the @ApolloAlliance. @SenStabenow was an early supporter of the good jobs that could be created w a clean energy agenda when the prevailing wisdom pitted the issues against each other. Such a trailblazer in so many ways🙌🏽

Great thread from @SamTRicketts on the connection between 1) new climate and infrastructure bills, 2) executive action, and 3) the power of states, as we get to work building a better economy.
Sam Ricketts@SamTRicketts

Now that Congress has passed the transformational Investment Reduction Act, the next chapter in US climate policy will revolve around 3 key areas: IRA implementation (IIJA, too), President Biden's use of executive action, and state action. Lets talk about how these relate.🧵

Reversing climate crisis means growing a better economy, strengthening democracy & building power. @EvergreenAction moved that work forward with deep investment, tax and regulatory plans & organizing to make them law. Leaving it all on the field indeed & showing what is possible.

The climate investments in Build Back Better are fully paid for and funded for ten years. It’s time for @POTUS and Congressional leadership to get back to work and find a way to deliver real climate action. If they don’t, their chief legacy will be failure on climate change.

No, on climate we cannot just pivot to executive action. Aggressive exec action is important. Biden’s going to need to use it in a wide number of areas. But its not a toolbox that includes hundreds of billions in bold and equitable investments building our clean energy economy.

This is an interesting campaign to bring transparency to an important regulatory agency. Down ballot is where the real work gets done. Worth watching and tracking how it unfolds.

Here's a great list of powerful voices for climate justice to support today. I would add @UPROSE for their tireless work and mighty impact shifting the debate on local power, off shore wind, clean energy jobs, and resisting gentrification. uprose.org/donate

BIPOC and low-income communities are hit first and worst by the climate crisis. On this Giving Tuesday, we would like to uplift the tireless work of organizations who are leading on environmental justice+equity within the climate movement. A 🧵

Climate #Risk is structural economic risk -- Pure and simple. This is a great explainer from @LenaMDC & @EvergreenAction. Worth watching if you don't mind thinking...
Evergreen Action@EvergreenAction

Big banks have invested $3.8 trillion into fossil fuel projects since the Paris Agreement was signed just 6 years ago. Now, federal regulators must act, rein in these risky investments, and protect the stability of our financial system. Learn more:

.@SecGranholm to @JayInslee: Governors who have state-level Clean Electricity Standards “can point to them as having attracted investments and having created jobs… and we just want to put that on steroids on the federal side" by passing a CES through reconciliation.

BREAKING: Clean Electricty Standard is included in budget deal. CES is the cornerstone of the progressive, practical transformation to a clean energy future we urgently need.
