When a paper is owned by billionaires does it become impossible to utter the word “corruption”?
Seriously, could it be more obvious? You think this is a policy dispute?
Wake up.
What did DOGE do?
Not much saving, it turns out.
Maybe it gives them too much credit but sometimes I think making a dramatic show of the censorship is the point, nothing could please Trump more.
BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...
So the payoff to Trump’s fossil fuel donors comes right out of ratepayers’ pockets. You pay for their corruption.
Btw, the AGs asserted millions in consumer savings from offshore wind, and in court proceedings, Trumpsters didn’t deny it.
The corruption runs deep wherever fossil fuel is concerned. No administration has been more corrupt for fossil fuel than this one. It’s epic.
Every clean offshore-wind electron displaces a fossil-gas-fueled electron, meaning this gimmick is yet another direct money payoff to Trump’s fossil fuel donors.
That was considered in the initial permit awarded, and was also a claim in the case Trump lost and didn’t appeal. There is no reason to believe this claim is in good faith.
Now, a new one-page letter offering no factual basis again seeks to shut down Revolution Wind, on grounds of national security from radar interference.
Pursuant to that illegal order, Trump issued a “stop work” order for Revolution Wind. A court held that also to be illegal; Trump didn’t appeal.
Trump began this administration with an executive order attacking offshore wind. A federal court held it to be illegal.
🧵
The Koch political operation spent more than half a billion in this last election season. Gee, I wonder why billionaires and polluters do so well.
This looks more like the kind of vindictive harassment we have come to expect from the Trump administration than anything legitimate.
Revolution Wind was long ago thoroughly vetted and fully permitted by the federal government, and that review included any potential national security questions.
It’s hard to see the difference between these new alleged radar-related national security concerns and the radar-related national security allegations the Trump administration lost in court, a position so weak that they declined to appeal their defeat.
This is President Donald ‘Stop Work’ Trump trying to keep affordable, clean energy off the grid, without a care about how many working people have to lose their jobs to keep his fossil fuel billionaires happy.
If Trump supposedly “kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep,” the question then becomes, ‘what did he know, and how did he know it?’
So what did Trump know? And when and how did he know it?
