The U.S. House is pushing a new #FarmBill that would limit farmers and rural small businesses from using #Rural Energy for America Program funding for solar.
With energy prices rising, Congress should make it easier — not harder — to generate local power.

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.
Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.
This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Let's make Virginia a national leader on data center reforms!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/lets...
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.
Congratulations to Jacob Cooke on his election. Thank you to everyone who stepped forward to serve and to the members who participated in the Rural Caucus process.
I remain committed to that work and to helping ensure rural voices across the Commonwealth are heard and respected.
I'm attending Indivisible's event, “What’s the Plan? A Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s Co-Founders” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...
I look forward to the conversations this morning and encourage every member of the Rural Caucus to participate
We owe it to ourselves to hear directly from the candidates and not rely on secondhand impressions or social media commentary. An informed vote helps ensure our leadership reflects the voices, experiences, and needs of rural communities.
Having real choices strengthens our party when they are grounded in shared values and respect for rural communities. I am proud to be part of a slate focused on listening, collaboration, and building trust across our region and beyond.
I am running for Vice Chair of Policy and Communications for the Virginia Democratic Rural Caucus. I live in rural Southwest Virginia and want a caucus that listens, communicates clearly, and respects the voices of rural communities. Rural voices matter.
A world in which this regime can kill anyone it chooses with no legal justification of any kind is a world in which none of us are safe.
Tell your Members of Congress to demand investigations into Pete Hegseth’s murderous strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific.
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
Here is my letter with the name of the Rural Caucus Chair corrected.
My thanks to @90for90.bsky.social for sharing my letter and to Dr Reid for his continued work helping elect Democrats in Virginia. I do want to correct an error as I mistakenly reversed Roberta Thacker Oliver’s name in my messages and apologize for my error.

Indivisible asked for 500 words on why folks might want to vote for me. We'll break it down into shorter subjects, but here's the trove of what and why.

Disrespect, racism and misogyny are running rampant in America because of this parasite of a president‼️
If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground.
At least three weeks
Meredith Kile of People magazine reported, when a female Bloomberg reporter at a press gaggle aboard Air Force One November 14 asked him if there was anything “incriminating” in the Epstein files, he pointed a finger in her face and said: “Quiet! Quiet, Piggy.”

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.
The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.
Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:
Take a night off.
Go to the movies.
Watch “Nuremberg”.
Your time is coming.
