Who else signed the crooked Trump Family Tax Amnesty? Only Trump’s stooge Blanche? Representing who? Who represented Trumps in the amnesty scam? Inquiring minds want to know.
I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change is real.
Clean energy will win, Trump’s fossil fuel corruption notwithstanding. (I actually think fossil crashes faster as costs become more evident.)

Trump is setting up a $1.8 billion slush fund for payouts to his political friends who have committed crimes.
Who’s eligible to get a payout? January 6 insurrectionists, Trump family members, Trump allies, etc.
Who’s paying for it? YOU, the taxpayer.

So if you or I cheat on our taxes, we could spend time behind bars.
But if Trump... or his kids... or his businesses cheat on their taxes, the law doesn't apply.
This is insane & beyond corrupt.
DOJ works for the American people, NOT Donald Trump.
North Carolina is deep deep deep in the grips of a homeowners insurance crisis brought on by climate change effects, both along its coasts and from its upland flooding, but fossil fuel’s flunkies just can’t help themselves.

This is an unprecedented level of corruption.
Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution.
What is Trump hiding from the American people?
Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

Trump promised lower prices on Day One, but prices keep going up. Whether it’s his illegal tariffs or his war in Iran, Trump is costing you more every day–and he doesn’t care.
That’s how we won.
And that put Republicans on the spot — to throw in the towel or own more mischief to fund the Trump billionaires ballroom.
The day after we argued, the Parliamentarian ruled that the White House was in the jurisdiction both of EPW (public buildings/grounds) and ENR (national parks).
ENR Committee Dems argued similarly that ENR has jurisdiction over “national parks” and “historical sites,” but also received no instruction.
The Republicans’ problem?
There was no reconciliation instruction to EPW, so if there was EPW jurisdiction, the ballroom measure was defective.
EPW Dems argued the case for EPW’s jurisdiction over White House construction and federal public buildings.
We argued that the Public Buildings Act requires EPW approval of projects exceeding $3.9 million. Which it does.
Want to know how we blew up the billion-dollar ballroom?
Let me take you into the parliamentary “reconciliation” challenge.
🧵
Trump gets free pass from Trump IRS and Trump DOJ for any past Trump tax violations.
Not making this up.

Trump's DOJ is funneling your tax dollars to a slush fund to pay off Trump's buddies & allies, like rioters who stormed the Capitol & assaulted police on Jan 6th.
An outrageous abuse of power.
