Paying the Russian back answers zero questions about this. abcnews.com/Politics/tru...
We made the mistake of accepting “ambitions” instead of actions (like making polluters pay as they should) and we’re now paying the price for that.

Basic truths as we head into Climate Week:
1. Trumpsters lie and fossil fuel corrupts.
2. Free-to-pollute is lethal to climate safety.
3. The CBAM is vital to safety.
I have a different view. Fossil fuel funded Trump’s campaign. They’re on his team. Blocking low-cost clean energy drives grids to their expensive power plants, sending billions in ratepayer dollars to big Trump donors. It’s a massive scam pumping money from ratepayers to donors.
Poodle Patel is a walking embarrassment.
Two ways we can fight corruption:
💰Rein in dark money in politics
👨⚖️Establish enforceable ethics rules at SCOTUS
I’ve introduced bills to do both.
Glad to see my SCERT and DISCLOSE Acts featured in @democracydefendersaction.org's anti-corruption scorecard.
As debt hits 40 trillion and bond rate hits 5% will Republicans let big corporations and billionaires be taxed like normal people?
I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change is making wildfires more frequent, more intense, and more destructive.
@brown.edu research shows that on top of the $38 billion Trump’s madcap war has cost us as taxpayers, Americans have already paid another $107 billion extra for gasoline and diesel. Both numbers will go up, up, up.

The Victory of the Tax Cheats.
The Victory of the Tax Cheats.
European cities look to Phoenix to deal with heat. ALL these extra costs should be in the price of fossil fuel. Free-to-pollute must end.
Can we NOW wake up to the reality of Trump/Russia?
Illegally making electric consumers pay off Trump’s corrupt fossil fuel donors is now standard practice for Trump scoundrels.

Climate issues raising family costs: the cost of insurance for the typical homeowner jumped by 24 percent between 2021 and 2024, according to research by the Consumer Federation of America.
Free-to-pollute isn’t free to you.
As diesel breaks through $6 a gallon for farmers, Trump wings off in his Qatari “Grift Force One” 747 to Ireland, and: “The real point of Trump’s visit is to showcase his Irish resort.”
Trump’s psychology drives him to tear down his party so he doesn’t fail alone.
