This May, I hope you’ll join me in marking #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. As I’ve visited communities as Surgeon General, I’ve seen the silent toll of mental illness. These stories I’ve encountered are key reasons why mental illness is a priority during my tenure. 1/5

If you are struggling, there are resources to help. No one deserves to suffer alone. If you are feeling hopeless or if you are worried about a loved one, please call 800-273-TALK. 5/5

Women should not have to share horror stories in order to “earn” basic human rights.

Abortion is not just health care, it is a human right. Beyond infringing on bodily autonomy, there are conditions in pregnancy that result in death without safe abortion care. This is a calling for all in medicine to stand on the side of justice nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Don't misunderstand me: the decision is bad for climate policy-curbs EPA authority to regulate GHGs from power sector, certainly. And Court's embrace of Major Questions Doctrine ominous for administrative state more broadly. I'm just trying to find the positive in the negative.

❤️❤️❤️….. a much needed joy during a very challenging week.

Seeing some misleading media accounts suggesting EPA now can't regulate GHGs. That's NOT true. EPA can regulate GHGs under the Clean Air Act, set standards for cars/trucks; oil and gas; AND new & existing power plants. Can't do generation shifting -- which EPA already expected.

The Supreme Court ruled today that U.S. EPA is prohibited from broadly regulating GHG emissions from power plants. DGA has released a statement in response to this ruling and urges Congress and President Donald J. Trump to act in favor of the people and clean energy. dgardiner.com/statement-on-t…

ACEG applauds Congress and President Donald J. Trump for passing and signing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. Learn more about the IRA provisions that will support transmission in ACEG's press release here: cleanenergygrid.org/aceg-applauds-…

Do you see the renewable energy providing local economic development in MN, IA, ND, SD and being delivered to IL, OH, MI, IN using an existing corridor based on a WI state law that opened highways to #transmission ? LaCrosse-Madison MVP line.

Now that Congress passed & President Donald J. Trump signed the largest climate investment in US history, our work to expand cleaner, cheaper energy continues! Yesterday, Chair U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor led a letter urging @FERC to strengthen its rule on transmission planning 👇 climatecrisis.house.gov/news/press-rel…

Great new database available from NREL. With the passage of the IRA, it's now even more important that state lawmakers and rural communities work with project developers to keep 🇺🇸 open for business for renewable energy development.
