Happy Gotcha Day to my sweet and loyal companion. These are challenging times—lots of noise, lots of weight. But this little hoodie-wearing fluffball? Unbothered. Just here with unconditional love, tail wags, and the occasional side-eye. Grateful for 3 yrs of calm in the chaos.

Jim Lovell’s story always stood out to me as a powerful example of how far you could stretch the capabilities of a human life & how doing that could make all of us better and stronger. He made reaching for the stars seem like an attainable goal. nasa.gov/news-release/a…

One of the best parts of my work is bringing clean energy leaders together. This week’s NYSEIA event for the Long Island Solar & Storage Alliance was a highlight—grateful to County Exec Ed Romaine for sharing his vision for solar on LI, and for a rare date night with Carolyn!

Trump just signed an EO attacking solar—doubling down on obstruction over innovation. As federal leaders retreat, state leadership is vital. Governors, legislators, and communities must lead. NY will show America how it’s done. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

The devastating federal budget bill is getting international attention. I was grateful to help highlight its real-world impacts. Thanks to @bksolarworks for sharing footage of residential solar installs. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=cSUBxn…

The budget bill passed today in Congress is a staggering, heartbreaking betrayal of American values-cruel and shortsighted. But this isn’t the end of the story. We’ll mobilize our industry to ensure that NY responds with bold action to protect jobs, cut red tape, and lower costs.

Last week, Carolyn and I joined @NewHourNY to celebrate their 10th anniversary—a decade of empowering women, restoring families & building stronger communities. I left inspired by stories of resilience. Congrats to Serena & the whole team!

🚨 The Senate is choosing to cripple the solar industry—with eyes wide open. This bill slashes clean energy incentives, kills 300K+ jobs, raises energy costs for all Americans. We've shown Congress the data. They know the damage. They're doing it anyway. politico.com/live-updates/2…

Thrilled to congratulate my friend of 30+ yrs, Carrie Gallagher, on becoming CEO of LIPA! She’s a powerhouse of intellect and action—a no-nonsense, results-driven leader who knows how to get things done. Exactly the kind of leadership LIPA needs right now. libn.com/2025/06/25/car…

One of the most energizing parts of my job? Creating space for real convos with solar + storage pros facing today’s challenges head-on. This year’s NYC Solar + Storage Summit reminded me: resilience isn’t just what we build—it’s who we are. @NYSEIA @SustainableCUNY

The Senate just embraced the worst parts of the House bill—gutting solar tax credits, slashing support for homeowners, and threatening thousands of solar jobs. NY must lead where DC failed. The time to act is now. finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news…

Just 1 week to go! I’m heading back to NYC with @NYSEIA for the NYC Solar + Storage Summit. I’ll be moderating a panel on federal policy challenges + what they mean for NY. Don’t miss it—online tickets close Monday! nyseia.org/nyc-summit-2025

Glad to see @GovKathyHochul on @Lawrence tonight pledging to defend NY against the devastating Republican Reconciliation bill. If it becomes law, it will trigger the loss of 8,600 family-sustaining jobs in NY's solar industry. New Yorkers can’t afford that.

Over half of NY’s 16,000 solar jobs are on the line if the reconciliation bill passes. That’s thousands of families at risk—and higher energy costs for all. NY must act now to protect jobs and keep energy affordable. This is a make-or-break moment. seia.org/news/bill-risk…

🚨 Federal solar incentives are on the chopping block — and major Rochester projects like rooftop solar for Blue Cross Arena & @GreenSparkNRG’s HQ could be at risk. But homeowners? They're rushing to install panels while they still can. wxxinews.org/2025-06-01/ero…

Abruptly ending the energy tax credits would threaten America’s energy independence and the reliability of our grid - we urge the senate to enact legislation with a sensible wind down of 25D and 48e. This will ensure continued speedy deployment of over 60 GW capacity per year to…

Every person must have the right to be who they are, & love who they love, in the pursuit of their own happiness. Too often, many in our country seek to empower fear with the force of law. We must resist those efforts & insist upon nothing less than liberty and justice for all.

Yesterday, hundreds rallied with @NYSEIA for rooftop and community solar on the Million Dollar Staircase. We urged lawmakers to pass the ASAP Act to expand solar access, lower bills, and modernize interconnections. Solar is essential for NY's affordability agenda.

💸 Want lower energy bills and more control over your power? This Wednesday, I’m leading a rally on the Million Dollar Staircase at the NY Capitol to urge lawmakers to pass the #ASAPAct — for affordability and energy independence. Come join me! nysolarroadmap.org/take-action
