Nevada is among the two dozen states that sued the EPA Thursday over its repeal of the 2009 “endangerment” finding, which underpinned climate regulations of cars, power plants and other pollution sources. Via @AP: thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada…

#Reminder - with the Extreme Heat Warning issued by @NWSVegas, cooling stations will be activated in our area Thursday, March 19 through Sunday, March 21. Community centers, libraries and more will offer spaces for people to escape high temperatures. helphopehome.org/get-help/

With over 120 House Dems sponsoring the #EnergyBillsReliefAct, we had to stop by the Hill to thank @repseancasten & @repmikelevin for their leadership - this is the kind of solution families need, one that will deliver more energy, more quickly, to help control skyrocketing costs

The Senate must reject the SAVE Act. And we’re grateful that @sencortezmasto and @senjackyrosen are voting *NO* and standing against this attack on our right to vote.

The #SaveAct means: ❌ Extra paperwork, added costs, travel, long waits, and time off work. ❌ For married women and others with legal name changes, it could also mean even more hoops just to register.

📣 The Senate will soon take up the #SAVEAct! Don’t fall for the propaganda. This bill would make it harder for 21M Americans to vote by requiring documents like a passport or birth certificate. Free and fair elections are fundamental to a healthy democracy and a healthy environment.

It’s no secret energy bills are too high in Nevada. That's why I introduced the #EnergyBillsReliefAct to expand access to cleaner, cheaper forms of energy and lower your electricity bills.

Families are drowning under rising energy costs, forced to choose between paying bills, a medical appointment, or groceries. The solution is simple: affordable, clean energy. Moms support the #EnergyBillsReliefAct introduced today to decrease costs & protect our health!

👏 And a shoutout to @repdinatitus, @rephorsford, and @repsusielee for stepping up as original cosponsors of the #EnergyBillsReliefAct + standing up for our families! 📩 Urge your Reps. to fight to lower our costs and move us toward affordable, reliable, clean energy at: bit.ly/lowerbillsnv

This bill would: ➡️ Help expand access to cheap, clean energy, ➡️ Lower monthly energy bills, ➡️ Modernize our grid to handle growing demand, ➡️ And support more jobs here at home. This ensures our state can continue to lead in a cleaner, more affordable energy future.

🚨 With a heatwave blanketing #NV, coupled with rising energy bills, we need relief. We shouldn’t be paying more because political dysfunction in Washington is blocking the clean, homegrown power that could help bring our costs down. And that’s why Congress just introduced the #EnergyBillsReliefAct.

This week, the Senate will take up the SAVE America Act, an extensive elections bill that seeks to increase the restrictions on registering to vote to cut down on non-citizen voting — already a rare and illegal occurrence. Via the @the19thnews: thenevadaindependent.com/article/what-i…

Today (3/17), Death Valley hit 100°F for the first time this year. This ties the earliest occurrence of 100°F (2007, 2013). The normal first occurrence is April 14th. Records for Death Valley date back to 1911. #cawx #DeathValley
