Thunder and Lightning heard about the fireworks and is like “let me show you how this is done”

Notes from Jimmy: Eric Adams Cuts a Budget Deal jimmyvielkind.substack.com/p/eric-adams-c…

As climate change fuels record heat around the globe, our New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation Forest Ranger crew is hard at work battling fires in Canada that have scorched over 20 million acres, leading to New York’s worst air quality in half a century. Quite a start to summer.

Because some people are just made for each other. 😘

Big ⚡️🚍News! We're putting the $4.2B Environmental Bond Act to work for cleaner air and healthier communities. Governor Kathy Hochul today announced $100M will be made available for zero-emission school buses in the first round of funding.

Yet another harsh reminder of how the climate crisis is impacting New Yorkers now. Another flooding event following the ones this summer, not to mention the heat wave, dangerous, smoky air, and energy bill hikes. Governor Kathy Hochul has the power to address climate with #NYHEAT

A wise person once said that you will experience climate change through a series of increasingly wild videos, until you are the one taking the video.

One reason why there's always significant flooding around McCarren Park during extreme rain events: there are buried creeks under there. And the whole thing was a salt marsh!

New Yorkers, did you know you’re paying to subsidize the gas industry & build pipelines across NY? Governor Kathy Hochul, Sen. Stewart-Cousins & @CarlHeastie can change that by passing the full #NYHEAT Act in the budget & save us money in the process. Let’s do it! citylimits.org/2024/03/29/why…

In the face of climate catastrophes, Governor Kathy Hochul took the reckless action of rolling back NYC's Congestion Pricing Plan, undermining decades of review for a plan to reduce toxic air and deadly climate pollution. We must not let this stand: nyrenews.org/news/2024/nyr-…

As the Trump administration tries to block states from taking action on climate change, New York is pushing back. THANK YOU to Governor Kathy Hochul and her U.S. Climate Alliance Alliance co-chair Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham for standing up for clean air and water, clean energy jobs, and a healthy future for

The Trump administration cannot punish states for adopting laws that protect their residents. New York's clean energy laws ensure a stronger, greener, and healthier future for all New Yorkers, and we’re not going to back down. reuters.com/sustainability…

👏👏👏👏 What she said👇

Trump just dropped a new executive order that would punish states for combating climate change. The order directs the government to “expeditiously” take action to “stop the enforcement of State laws” designed to reduce “greenhouse gas” emissions. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Biosolids were pitched as cheap fertilizer—but they’re full of PFAS and toxic chemicals that are poisoning our soil.  I joined Assemblymember Dr. Anna R. Kelles, advocates and farmers today to call for a ban. This is about clean water and safe food. We can’t afford to wait—let’s get this done.

We joined Senator Pete Harckham and Assemblymember Dr. Anna R. Kelles this morning in Albany to push for a ban of toxic sewage sludge ("biosolids") on New York farmland. PFAS "forever chemicals" don't belong on our farms or in our food and water, and lawmakers must take action now.

Youth assistance groups, literacy programs, mental health services and other volunteer-driven organizations throughout New York are facing the prospect of closing shop as the Trump administration guts the long-standing AmeriCorps service network. gothamist.com/news/ny-progra…

With research linking chemicals in plastic to heart disease deaths, New York needs to act now. "The health risk is twofold. It's the toxins in the plastic, but there's also the added risk of microplastics, pieces of plastics that we swallow," - Judith Enck newsday.com/news/health/ca…

Next week's show is so good, this ode to NYS Senate Democrats Leader Sen. Stewart-Cousins by Mary Francis Stoute didn't make the cut. So make sure you get your ticket to the live event before we sell out! bit.ly/lcashow25
