840,000 insurance policyholders in Florida are trapped in a mandatory arbitration system where the insurer almost always wins.

Regular people are left to pick up the pieces and pay the settlements.

We need a real investigation and accountability for this broken system.

Another day, another major news outlet publishing First Street criticism of FEMA whole cloth and without mentioning they are in the business of selling an alternative...

We disrupted the National Association of Insurance Commissioners national gathering this morning. Our homes and health are too important to let the insurance industry buy off our regulators.

You're correct - they'd need enforcement mechanisms!

Insurance commissioners shouldn’t take lavish gifts, campaign cash, or job offers from the companies they regulate.
We’re demanding every state regulator sign an Anti-Corruption Pledge—no more revolving door, no more conflicts of interest

Thinking of Texans in the Hill Country as they, their loved ones and neighbors work to recover from the tragedy that occurred over the past weekend.

Insurance giants shouldn’t be allowed to post profits and hike rates while denying fire survivors compensation they deserve.

Tell CA officials to stand up to Big Insurance: No hikes until people get paid!

6 months after the LA wildfires, CA is investigating 400+ insurance complaints from survivors. Yet, State Farm's raking in profits and asked for a 30% rake hike. Tell @governor.ca.gov and commissioner Ricardo Lara: No rate hikes until people get paid! act.citizen.org/page/85237/p...

Here's our reaction to the CA FAIR plan bailout with a quote from @carolinenagy.bsky.social.

CA is basically asking insurers to split the $1b bill with the public.

Two things you might not realize though:

With all this talk of a property insurance crisis, remember that it's regular people who are in crisis, not the companies.

Insurers are sitting on an historic $1+ TRILLION surplus. The companies are just fine.

They're laughing all the way to BlackRock.

I often hear wind and solar lead to more power outages.

But it’s not true. Here's the data for Germany:

Wind + solar had a share of 33% of electricity in 2022.

➡️But there were 43% FEWER interruptions than in 2006 when wind + solar contributed only 5%.

it has always been a long reaction to the New Deal. from then to now, capital had seen the New Deal as the sin that must be purged so that the rest of us understand our place as grist for their mills

the only thing that stinks worse than tim ryan's betrayal of the american people is the methane gas leaking from the export terminals he's shilling for

Two pathways to help communities adapt to ecologically "indefensible" areas in this time of climate change. In Wales, people were abandoned and the whole thing collapsed. In France, people were taken care of and the area became more resilient.

The 2 most important case studies for the US right now.

Property insurance looks a lot like health insurance: companies take increasingly higher profits while withdrawing coverage and offloading costs to more and more people.

We can turn it around. Here's how 👇

the Kochs are not your friends. Glad to see @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social digging into the libertarian side of the "abundance movement." (And I'm fully on board with housing YIMBYs).

My guy @alanzibel.bsky.social brings the receipts: we're exporting SO MUCH gas that it's driving up prices here at home. The plan to export more just means jacking up costs even more while like 10 billionaires laugh all the way to the bank.

Kamala Harris treated climate change as an issue to be avoided. But climate is one of Dems' best opportunities to tell stories that, like Trump's, have clear villains and center the way elites (like Big Oil CEOs) are hurting working class people.

That's why it's time for climate populism.
