When even Trump thinks Big Oil is “making too much money” off American consumers, you know it’s reached barf-worthy levels of excess profit.

Democrats ignored the hearing. Republicans ignored… Ted? https://t.co/WNBBC9l8kK

Ironic that this came out on the same day Republicans voted Blanche out of committee, after he too turned a suspiciously blind eye to “Suspicious Activity Reports” filed with Treasury for Epstein’s...

These are the people being hurt by Republican cuts to Medicaid. https://t.co/IPhvfjkl94

More of the costs and risks that fossil fuel imposes on everyone else. Watch what this does to home insurance markets. It’s already started. Pay attention. https://t.co/HD0LWQ12Om

In court, in the offshore wind cases, that lie evaporated. From the attorneys general came evidence of the huge savings the plants would provide consumers; from the lawyers for Interior, crickets.  🦗

It’s not just here. Burgum persistently tells the lie that clean energy is expensive, when any grid operator will tell you that it’s usually the least expensive, which is why they run it first, ahe...

His CNN statement was thoroughly false, for instance. Prosecutors were operating under a constitutional duty to disclose exculpatory evidence, and under a duty as officers of the court to be truthf...

Note the difference between what “incompetent liar” Burgum says in forums where there’s no sanction for lying, versus what Trump administration has to concede in court, where lies are punishable. h...

Today’s simple truth: climate change-driven extreme weather events are increasing at the same time that the government is dismantling weather monitoring and alert systems. We should all be able t...

Face it. The Court is captured by right-wing billionaire interests, just the way railroad barons used to capture the railroad rate commissions, or mining barons the mine safety commissions. Look up...

Perhaps not surprising for a brief written on behalf of 35 judges, this is a very good piece of well-written legal work. And a reminder of the filthy conduct of one Todd Blanche. https://t.co/EwpGj...

Good. Leave them alone. Ban the practice. Pass my OCTOPUS Act. https://t.co/6Ol4IBiOA9

Can you trust Todd Blanche? https://t.co/XhIm8xvue1

I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change-driven extreme weather events are increasing at the same time that the government i...

What’s clear is the discrepancy between what Trump officials say in places like Fox News where they are not accountable for lying, versus what they say when they get near a courtroom where they are...
