No take-backs!
We can tell Zohran Mamdani has called for a rent freeze, because he is truly living rent-free in Donald Trump’s head. Since becoming the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, Trump has racistly and falsely suggested that Mamdani is here “illegally” and then threatened to revoke ([link removed]) his U.S. citizenship in a process known as “denaturalization.”
Trump and his GOP allies have repeatedly used the threat of denaturalization against their political enemies across the political spectrum, from Mamdani and Ilhan Omar ([link removed]) to even Elon Musk. At this point, we wouldn’t be surprised if he added famous immigrant Superman ([link removed]) to that list as well.
When asked ([link removed]) whether the president should have the authority to revoke the citizenship of naturalized citizens, 70% of voters, including a majority of Independents and half of Republicans, say that the president should not have this power.

By a 12-point margin, a majority of voters believe that Trump will attempt to deport his political enemies, including those who are U.S. citizens. This includes a majority of Democrats (75%) and Independents (52%).
Listen, we don’t hate the idea of Elon Musk leaving the country (or Earth) forever, but the Constitution should mean something!

Here are some other highlights from DFP this week:
Y’all gotta cool it down, heated
When we said we wanted to sweat this summer, we meant while shaking our ass at the Cowboy Carter tour, not while walking 1000 feet from the office to the parking lot.
This summer we’re seeing record-breaking heat waves ([link removed]) across the country. Is anyone else getting deja vu? Because I think we’ve read that sentence before.
But despite our planet getting hotter than when you try to play The Sims on your seven-year-old MacBook, we still lack important protections that protect us from extreme heat. A rule proposed by the Biden Administration would have established OSHA’s first-ever heat rule to protect workers from extreme heat — mandating accessible drinking water to workers, enforcing mandatory rest breaks, and more. But under the Trump administration, the rule’s future is uncertain.
We find ([link removed]) that a bipartisan majority (87%) of voters support the proposed OSHA rule that would protect workers from extreme heat.

Voters also agree that it’s time to crack down on the types of landlords who think that the best way to solve any problem is by throwing white paint on it. A strong majority (76%) of voters support requiring landlords to provide air conditioning or indoor cooling to renters, including 82% of Democrats, 74% of Independents, and 71% of Republicans. Pretty cool!

Call us the Power Rangers
Just like you really can’t have Sex and the City without Samantha… you can’t have a clean energy transition without building out your transmission infrastructure.
The U.S. needs to significantly expand its transmission infrastructure to meet growing electricity demand, enhance grid reliability, and connect renewable energy sources in the coming decades — and because all you dummies can’t stop asking ChatGPT to turn your cat into a Studio Ghibli character.
In a new report ([link removed]) in collaboration with researchers from the World Resources Institute and the Great Plains Institute, our researchers lay out recommendations for incorporating community engagement and feedback in transmission projects. A few pointers from the report: consult with communities, talk to impacted landowners, and deliver benefits early and collaboratively. Make it your next beach read!
