Great WaPo piece on Dems at state level - gaining control in some places and at least blocking GOP supermajorities prepared to eliminate abortion & voting rights.

Scrap EV rebates in states not powered by renewable energy.

There is a finite supply of EV, so they should go in places where it can actually reduces emissions #uspol #elections2022 #congress #midterm #environment
