Good afternoon from Capitol Hill, where for the first time in 100 years, a Speaker of the House was not elected on the first vote. Or the second vote. This is because 19 conservatives voted for someone other than Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA). And then on a third vote, the opposition increased to 20 conservatives who all voted for Rep. Jim Jordan (OH).

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. Congress is back in session and the lame duck session starts now.

EPA at the end of the session, the biggest takeaway message is this: Congress must put its partisan differences aside to act on climate change. And the clearest path forward is pricing carbon. … Nationalists and Reagan conservatives could both celebrate the result of...
“Plugged In” hosts Neil Chatterjee and energy reporter Breanne Deppisch welcome Climate Leadership Council CEO Greg Bertelsen to talk about how recent polling shows more conservatives are getting energized over climate change initiatives.
