Birds are like rock stars they dress up and sing. That's why I work for the Audubon Society on clean energy and birds.

.@TomSteyer calls out @XavierBecerra: “I have been fighting the oil companies for 15 years and I’ve never lost. Xavier Becerra is taking money from them and is doing their bidding. That is inappropriate.”

We know that @XavierBecerra likely broke state law, and now he’s at the center of an ongoing criminal investigation. Democrats cannot afford to wake up on June 3 and discover we’ve got a criminal on our hands. Xavier Becerra should not be our governor, and we can’t risk having him as our nominee.

MIN: Do you know how much new energy China put online last year?
BURGUM: Intermittent or base load?
MIN: All energy. 543 GW. How much was renewable? 434 GW.
BURGUM: But only when the wind is blowing and sun is shining
MIN: Meanwhile, the US put up 53 GW of new energy last year -- less than 10% of China. You're clear bias against renewables is harming our national security.

@caringguy1957 @SenateGOP @ChuckGrassley Also some of these "tax breaks" expire in 2028. So: short term for talking points in the mid-terms?

Chucky, that claim is garbage.
The official IRS data does not say Americans are seeing “11% more money in their pockets.” It says the average refund is up from $3,116 to $3,462, which is an increase of $346, not some broad 11% raise in take-home pay for every family. A bigger refund is also not free money, it is usually just your own money being returned at tax time.
Now compare that extra $346 to what families are paying more elsewhere.
Gas alone already wipes it out. The national average gas price was about $4.16 a gallon in early April, up roughly $1.18 since March 1. The most recent federal spending data shows the average household was already spending about $2,411 a year on gasoline. A price jump of roughly 40% on that kind of spending works out to about $950 more a year if it persists, nearly triple the entire average refund bump by itself.
Utilities eat more of it. Federal energy data shows households were spending about $1,760 a year on electricity, and residential electricity prices were up 9.5% year over year in the latest monthly federal update. That is roughly another $167. On top of that, the winter outlook showed Midwest natural-gas-heated homes paying about $610 this winter, slightly higher than last winter.
Food keeps carving away at it too. Federal consumer data shows average household food spending was about $10,169 in 2024, and federal inflation data shows food prices rose 3.1% in 2025. That is about $315 more a year.
Healthcare is another hit. The latest employer health survey shows family coverage premiums rose 6% in 2025, and workers were paying an average of $6,850 toward family coverage. A 6% increase on that worker contribution is about $411 more.
So before you even get to tariffs, the math is ugly. $950 more for gas, about $167 more for electricity, about $315 more for food, and about $411 more for healthcare adds up to roughly $1,843 in higher annual costs. Subtract the $346 average refund increase and the family is already about $1,500 behind, not ahead.
And tariffs make it worse, not better. The latest Yale Budget Lab estimate says the current tariff regime would cost the average household about $760 to $940 a year, and more if some tariffs stay in place longer. Even using the low end, that pushes the family hit to roughly $2,250 more a year after accounting for that extra refund.
So no, chucky, Americans are not magically “seeing 11% more money in their pockets.” The average refund increase is about $346, and ordinary household costs are eating that up almost immediately. In a conservative real-world comparison, families are not ahead, they are underwater by well over $1,000 a year, and with tariffs included, closer to $2,000 plus. That slogan isn’t economics, it’s propaganda with a calculator problem.

@SenTomCotton This is why Congress has such a low rating. Both sides just point fingers of blame at the other while few work together to help their constituents. Party over people.

@BeschlossDC Disagree. Heroes should be remembered even if no one looks at who is on the money. He was a hero.

Fact-checkers debunk doctored photo shared by US government, who claimed it was of a bald eagle hurt by a wind turbine.
Also, wind turbines account for fewer bird deaths than fossil fuels and only 0.002-0.028% of bird deaths.

@hubermanlab If your work makes a positive difference to something you care about - like the planet, nature - then passion fuels the work as you learn how to achieve goals.

Tom Cruise only agreed to play Les Grossman if the character had fat, hairy arms, giant prosthetic hands, and a dance scene. That last-minute dance to “Get Back” by Ludacris ended up becoming one of Tropic Thunder’s most iconic moments.
