“We must also reflect on our shared responsibility to safeguard nature, our most precious and irreplaceable asset.”
Thank you for your advocacy for our planet, Your Majesty.
“We ignore at our own peril the fact that these natural systems, in other words, nature’s own economy, provide the foundation for our prosperity and our national security.”
- King Charles III
Note the common theme across DHS funding, the reconciliation bill, and 702 extension: all three are tangled up in internal Republican squabbling.
This is NOT partisan division, this is Republican incompetence.
Get the news right, please.
For instance, Zeldin is neck-deep in the conspiracy to stall clean energy, driving electric grids to more expensive fossil fuel units, raising electricity costs for customers, but sending billions to guess who?
Trump’s big corrupt fossil fuel donors!
Of course he is. This administration is run by corrupt fossil fuel billionaires and Zeldin is their obedient stooge. One more indicator of the depth of the corruption.
Clean energy remains cheaper than fossil, and Trump’s war on clean energy (to help his fossil fuel donors) will keep hiking customer electricity costs.
Coal keeps fading as renewables climb, even as Trump raises electricity costs by forcing expensive, polluting defunct coal plants back on line — part of his payoff (with your money) to his big fossil fuel donors.
Blame this on the U.S. fossil fuel industry death-grip on Trump and Republicans.

Thank you Thom Tillis for calling BS on this. (As did a federal judge, btw.)
Guess who’s missing that market surge as Trump hobbles American EV progress? Trump is sending China an engraved invitation to stomp our domestic companies, all for his corrupt fossil fuel donors.
Poodle Patel writes the stuff himself.
Then that extra heat powers up stronger typhoons and hurricanes. Then home insurance costs explode along coasts, thrashing mortgage and real estate markets. Look at Florida.
This is what happens when the corrupt fossil fuel industry’s emissions add zettajoules of excess heat to the oceans (look it up).
Blanche is going to tire of this.
It gets worse as Patel gets deposed under oath in the FBI agents’ lawsuits, and as he has to answer questions under oath in his own lawsuit.
Wait til his detail is questioned under oath about his behavior.
Under Trump, Republicans can’t get enough corruption. Bipartisan shell corporation disclosure legislation gets sacrificed on the Oligarch Altar.
Reposted bySenator Sheldon Whitehouse
Fresh from moving to vacate the DOJ’s own criminal convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy, Todd Blanche and Kash Patel have now criminally indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for infiltrating extremist groups with paid informants—exactly what the FBI does!
(More)
Trump: “Nobody’s laughing!”
World: “If we’re not laughing it’s because we’re horrified and disgusted.”
