"One student even found a bag with the word "reusable" still clearly visible, highlighting that these plastic bags are not being reused, or even recycled, and are instead polluting our environment." @CALPIRGStudent culvercityobserver.com/story/2024/04/…
.@EPA’s new standards will reduce air, water, land and climate pollution from fossil-fueled power plants without disrupting the delivery of reliable electricity -- protecting public health for communities across the country. I call that a win-win-win for American families

@NickGibbs I'll be blunt here: The only features of a car (or anything else for that matter) that should have subscription payments are those that require the vendor to provide an ongoing service to justify the subscription. Lighting, heated seats, etc should never fall into this category.
"You can repurchase the function in the Shop" Oh great, how convenient, I can repurchase the ability to turn on a light switch, for lights that I own, on an ongoing basis. This is fine.
“! Mood Lighting has expired” is an objectively funny thing to flash up on your screen, whether it points to a dystopian future or not. (Pinched from the ID3 FB group)

Of all the things I was lucky enough to work on, this might be my favorite. You shouldn’t have to pay money to pay your taxes. As this program continues to grow, most people will get pre-populated forms and be able to file their taxes with a few clicks in a few minutes.
The IRS says 140,803 people successfully filed their taxes with the agency's free direct file pilot program – exceeding their goal of 100,000.

Students should be able to choose how they spend their financial aid dollars on books & supplies. That’s why we sent a letter urging @usedgov to finalize changes that would eliminate a college's ability to bill students for materials without their say so.
@JesseJenkins @KevinSKrause @BorensteinS "Cost shift" rhetoric is being used to inflame concerns about equity. Do you not see how that same logic/rhetoric can be weaponized against electrification in the context of the gas system?
@KevinSKrause @JesseJenkins @BorensteinS There's a conceptual problem at the heart of this, though, isn't there? Which is the default assumption that the role of utility customer is to consume energy, and any choice not to consume imposes a "shift." That logic leads to some strange places.
@JesseJenkins @BorensteinS Treating solar electricity generated for own use as avoided utility sales is quite a methodological choice (if I'm understanding it correctly). What's next, treating energy efficiency upgrades or turning off the lights when you leave the house as imposing a "cost shift"?
Especially when our budget is tight, we need to make sure taxpayer dollars aren’t thwarting our clean climate goals. #CAleg should end oil and gas subsidies & highway expansion, and redirect funds towards critical clean air programs #InvestInCleanAir #ActOnClimate @CALPIRG
