Donald Trump just called Dr. Annie Andrews "Trannie Andrews" on Truth Social in an attempt to help her opponent raise money. Join me in flooding Dr. Andrews website with tons of small donations right now so that this backfires on Trump spectacularly. 💙 drannieandrews.com

In the Dominion-NextEra merger case, Clean Virginia asked for a memo detailing an investigation into alleged illegal political activity by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy. Dominion said that it wasn't relevant to the merger. A hearing examiner disagreed. www.utilitydive.com/news/virgini...

Dominion said the memo wasn’t relevant to its merger with NextEra Energy, but Clean Virginia, a customer advocacy group, said it speaks to the governance “fitness” of the potential combined company.

One of the highlights of NYC Climate Week was getting a ride through the city on Saul Griffith's new Lightfoot scooter. It's incredibly cool -- way more solid & stylish in person than I expected. I swear I took pictures but I can't find any of them so you'll have to trust me.

This new solar-powered scooter is unlike anything you've seen before

The Lightfoot scooter comes with two large solar panels so it doesn't have to plug in.

Buying fast food for my family, it’s over $50, which feels like a lot. Not unreasonable from the restaurant, but like going out to dinner, not grabbing something cheap. So I looked up fast food prices, and they’ve risen faster than inflation. Add that to the why people say stuff’s expensive list.
