It is very hard to overstate the evil of the fossil fuel industry.
When people finally do figure it out, it may be too late to undo the damage.

No appeal by Trumps of Revolution Wind back to work order. Great news. Good work against illegal “stop work” order.
That would explain why when Trump figured it out he called Leonard Leo a “sleazebag.”
It’s a captured court of the creepy billionaires.
Remember that before the list there was war between House of Koch and House of Trump. After the list there was peace.
Do the math.
The most logical conclusion is a deal where Kochs got to pick Trump’s nominees, using Federalist Society as camouflage for a transaction.
Amazing how people keep missing the story.
Remember: there was no “Federalist Society list.” No consideration, no agenda item, no vote.
On top of the stink of whatever it is Putin has on Trump, this rotten deal adds the odor of more looting by the billionaires.

The climate crisis demands urgent action. Yet the Trump Administration continues to ignore science, abandon our commitments and leave communities to suffer.
Standing with @whitehouse.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, we made it clear that America must lead the world—not walk away from it.
The original sin: Five Supreme Court Republican appointees, many helped onto the Court by right-wing billionaires, open the floodgates for unlimited political spending. Then they refuse to police anonymous political spending they know is corrupting. This is the result.
...and attack the judge. nypost.com/2025/11/19/u...

NEW: @whitehouse.senate.gov launches investigation into cronyism and corruption at the Kennedy Center.
Documents obtained by EPW reveal millions in lost revenue, luxury spending, and preferential treatment for Trump allies at the Center.
This is The Great Climate Insurance Collapse coming at us. Republicans look away because it’s what their fossil fuel industry donors demand.

Meanwhile, Trump purposefully drives up consumers’ electricity costs by suppressing clean energy on the grid, forcing grid operators to go to more-expensive fossil fuel units. Money goes straight from ratepayers’ pockets to his big fossil fuel donors. Sweet scam. apnews.com/article/trum...
MAGA DOJ is such a bunch of bozos that even “attorneys employed by the Texas attorney general — who professes to be a political ally of the Trump administration — describes [D.O.J. performance in the gerrymander case] as ‘legally unsound,’ ‘baseless,’ ‘erroneous,’ ‘ham-fisted,’ and ‘a mess.’”

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

Read the joint statement from myself, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO-06), Chris Deluzio (D-PA-17), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06):

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.
Here’s my response:
This could even blow back on Emil Bove when evidence comes out that was hidden from the Judiciary Committee by the administrative stay, MAGA DOJ stonewalling, and Republican Judiciary Committee acquiescence. MAGA will be wild.
In the meantime, Trump and House members called for the judge’s impeachment, as did a set of Republican senators. The DC Circuit cleared the judge Friday to resume the contempt proceedings; by Monday a new set of Republican senators was calling for his suspension.
