This Earth Day, 1000s of young people are sending a message to President Biden: declare a #ClimateEmergency !

We’re facing another year of deadly summer of hurricanes, floods, fires, and heatwaves. We don't have time to lose.

NEW: Thanks to the IRA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grants, nearly every state in the US now has a climate plan—with $4.6 billion in grants on the line.

We, RMI and Climate XChange are analyzing all 47 plans. Here's a first look⬇️evergreenaction.com/blog/we-read-6…

This you?

Went to Pittsburgh to cover Rep. Summer Lee's re-election. $4m+ was spent against her by AIPAC and allies in 2022. She looked like a target this year, when she endorsed a Gaza ceasefire. But the politics inside Dem primaries changed semafor.com/article/04/09/…

I went to the floor of Congress today to discuss a letter by 56 members of Congress who think we need a new direction in Gaza. The killing must stop. Aid must flow. No more offensive arms transfers, no push in Rafah with US weaponry. Investigate the killing of World Central Kitchen. ☮️🇮🇱🇵🇸

Let’s talk about why the framing (and the headline!) of this The Wall Street Journal story is all wrong 🧵

“Taxes, courts, and social issues” is a good summary of the GOP agenda

Over 6,000 people with student loans in Hawai‘i will get nearly $340M in debt forgiveness thanks to these new plans from President Biden

It brings the total number of people who will have debt relief to 30 million

This really captures the disconnect between the Biden Administration’s rhetoric supporting a “rules-based international order” and its hypocritical disregard of those rules vis-à-vis Israel.

It reminds me of this piece by my Center for International Policy colleague Matt Duss:

The appropriate thing to do is for these pesky students to raise $100 million into a Super PAC and threaten to eliminate any Democrat who supports unconditional weapons aid to Israel.

That’s not illiberal, that’s democracy baby.

Happy Confederates Lost The War Day

Last week, 7 courageous aid workers with World Central Kitchen were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza while trying to feed starving people.

Listen to the words of Chef José Andrés on what's happening in Gaza today.

The new Student Debt Relief Plan from President Biden is extremely comprehensive and would actually give much more substantial and life-changing relief to the people who need it most than the original proposal struck down by the Supreme Court.

This is a big deal.

What was Israel doing before?

Guess a Biden phone call can make a difference.

Can the president make another call to Netanyahu now and end the bombing of civilians please?

On Biden’s handling of the war, ⁦Matt Duss⁩ put it clearly: “It has undermined one of his most important assets against Trump…Biden’s reputation…he’s a decent guy, he’s an empathetic guy, he’s an honest guy. But this policy has been a cruel policy” politico.com/news/2024/04/0…

Love that we got all the cool Jewish creatives in the divorce

They’re all very old, but this is a good ad and they should go wide with it.

“When we invest in climate, we create jobs, we lower costs, and we invest in families.” —Vice President Kamala Harris

Did not think I’d live to see the day Nancy Pelosi was calling for a halt to offensive weapons to Israel
