The big mistake Democrats could make in 2026? Running from climate. Our new memo with @DataProgress shows that climate is how you talk credibly about lowering costs, taking on corporate power, and protecting families from rising bills.

A study establishing how carbon majors "contributed substantially to the occurrence of heatwaves" is fueling fresh calls for fossil fuel giants to pay for the deadly impacts of their products.

Here in Hoboken, we know the price of climate change: flooded streets, damaged homes, and taxpayers left with the bill. The Climate Superfund Act will #MakePollutersPay for the crisis they've caused, not working families. This is how we fight back against corporate polluters

Young people have coalesced a broad coalition: labor, advocacy groups, and even most of Speaker Coughlin’s own colleagues support this. It's time Trenton fights for young people and everyday New Jerseyans to ‘Stay in NJ’ by Making Polluters Pay. Pass the Climate Superfund Act!

Fossil fuel executive, @SecretaryWright who donated > $200,000 to Trump’s campaign is supporting policies for unchecked fossil fuel expansion. Color us surprised.
Batteries and solar are saving the Texas grid, as fossil generation plants can’t stand the Texas heat. @SecretaryWright and @SecretaryBurgum have abandoned an all-of-the-above strategy, and instead are pushing an all-of-the-expensive/slow strategy.

Remember when Trump told Big Oil he'd deliver their wish list if they gave $1B to his campaign? Well, his billionaire tax giveaway gave them an $18 BILLION windfall — while gutting Medicaid. A corrupt bargain through and through and another betrayal of the American people.

This is not radical: If you break, you pay for it. Taxpayers should not be on the hook for the price of climate change; instead, #makepolluterspay Thank you @BenDziobek for the partnership - let’s get this done ✅
Proud to co-author this op-ed w/@AsmJohnAllen Simply put: this is about protecting ratepayers and making sure working-class New Jerseyans aren’t left to rebuild alone after climate disasters. The science is clear. And the public supports it.
