As a military veteran and a working mom with two kids in public school. I was called to run for Congress after the November election to end the divisiveness and bring folks together.

My name is Rebecca Bennett, and I am ready to roll up my sleeves and deliver for New Jersey’s 7th.

First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible.

But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

It's as if going all in on car dependent sprawl was a terrible idea and now we live with bidding wars for basic "perks" such as walkability, leaving those without deep pockets financially obligated to cars, so they can access more affordable housing.

What a cluster.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Still drinking #milk ? Still consuming #dairy products? Of course this is not milk 👺Abscesses can be very painful. Dairy causes animal suffering. Dairy is animal abuse. Dairy kills. You don’t want to be part of this. You don’t want to support this. #DitchDairy 🙏

If we would have a worldwide unannounced referendum 95% of all people would be totally against this, unaware of the fact they are supporting this by their own food choices. Humans are falsely conditioned and misinformed. Shut #dairy down. #DitchDairy NOW 👉GO #Plantbased #VEGANになる理由

China hit 1,003 TWh of solar by October — and this still isn’t the steep part of the S-curve. This is the warm-up. Solar doubled in 2 yrs, installs are exploding, #BESS is hitting price floors, curtailment is becoming a storage goldmine. The next doubling? 12–16 months. “Holy shit” phase loading. ⚡
