3. “that the Department’s actions are free from the appearance of political influence.”
2. they do that to ensure “that the Department’s investigatory and prosecutorial powers be exercised free from partisan consideration”; and
1. DOJ has a “long-standing policy that most personnel may not participate in media events with congressional members or staff”;
More on MAGA DOJ: A Senator at an indictment announcement? Note these DOJ policies (and I quote) 🧵:

Wow. Almost as surprising as stooge Blanche at MAGA DOJ trying to give Trump family magical tax amnesty.
Who ever thought that would be a comparison.

Under Trump, Americans see economy worsening, by nearly 4:1.
Hence the clean energy blockade, creating a huge money pump, extracting money from electricity ratepayers, and sending it to Trump’s corrupt fossil fuel donors. Think that’s coincidence?
They’ve noticed that when they block clean energy, the grid has to go up the “generation stack” to their expensive units.
Customers pay a lot more for their expensive energy, but the extra billions customers pay ends up in their own pockets.
Crooked fossil fuel interests noticed, because ratepayers saving money meant them losing money, so they’ve been using their influence over Trump to block low-cost energy.
You can see that at demand levels of 68 GW, the electricity cost on the Texas grid was only a third of what it was before the low-cost clean energy surge. That’s big ratepayer savings.
After the surge of low-cost clean energy, the Texas demand/cost curve looked like this.
From August 2018 to August 2024, low-cost clean energy surged on to the Texas grid; solar, wind, and battery added 17.6 GW additional power.
In August 2018, the cost of power on the Texas grid at varying levels of demand looked like this. 🧵
Crossover happens! Solar and wind provide more power than gas. Fossil fuel corruption won’t stop progress.

Trump proves he isn't looking out for you.
Trump falls into 20s on inflation (24%) and economy (29%), huge concerns for Americans.
A message from F̶o̶s̶s̶i̶l̶ ̶F̶u̶e̶l̶s̶ the Republican Party:
Yeah, but what do the scientists know? Let’s listen instead to the folks with the conflict of interest and the dark-money dollars!
