Gov. Spanberger on Trump's executive order on dyed diesel: “Who pays that deferred tax and when? Is it the farmer? Is it the vendor?” “If the president and his supporters in Congress actually wanted to meaningfully impact the cost of diesel, they would end the Iran war.”

Putin’s Ukraine invasion has been a huge failure but his US invasion has been an unqualified success

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.

V v good new @earthjustice.org report on the genuinely nutty numbers behind the data centre fossil fuel boom in the US This new update shows emissions from off-grid gas plants for data centres are WAY worse than previously estimated earthjustice.org/feature/data...
Climate & Public Health
▪ Massive scale and impact: The scale of both total
and individual BYOP proposals is massive. As of
August 2026, there are nine proposed gas BYOP
projects that are 4.5 GW or larger. If all are built,
nine of the top 10 largest power plants in the U.S.
would be data center gas BYOP.
Altogether, the current 177 GW of gas proposals
would emit over 400 million metric tons of carbon
dioxide equivalent ( MTCO 2e) annually, increasing
the U.S. power sector’s total emissions by 23% .
Ozone and particulate matter pollution from
these projects could cause an estimated $5 –10B
in monetized health damages each year. 1
▪ Majority gas: Building on prior reports, we
estimate that for current BYOP proposals,
approximately 80% of energy generation will
come from gas.
▪ Inefficient gas technologies with more air
pollution: More than half of disclosed gas BYOP
capacity uses technologies that are less efficient
and more polluting than typical gas power plants.  Majority gas:  Building on prior reports, we estimate that for current BYOP proposals, approximately 80% of energy generation will come from gas.

Zelenskyy: While our teams are meeting in Florida, US President is having conversation with Kremlin leader responsible for this war. I believe they are simply using our team as a cover...clearly not acting in good faith as a partner. And this, in my view, is a weak decision from strong partners.

If you think Trump handing a multibillion $ gift to Putin that will help Russia continue to wage war on Ukraine, doesn't make sense...then you're not paying attention. It is Trump doing what he always does, putting Putin and Russian interests ahead of America's and our allies.
