EPW Dems argued the case for EPW’s jurisdiction over White House construction and federal public buildings.
We argued that the Public Buildings Act requires EPW approval of projects exceeding $3.9 million. Which it does.

Want to know how we blew up the billion-dollar ballroom?
Let me take you into the parliamentary “reconciliation” challenge.
🧵
Trump gets free pass from Trump IRS and Trump DOJ for any past Trump tax violations.
Not making this up.
Reposted bySenator Sheldon Whitehouse
Trump's DOJ is funneling your tax dollars to a slush fund to pay off Trump's buddies & allies, like rioters who stormed the Capitol & assaulted police on Jan 6th.
An outrageous abuse of power.
Again, billions from your pockets to Big Oil — coincidence?
While you’re at it, look at your electric bill, hiked by Republicans blocking low-cost clean energy.
Your bill goes up (the total is in the billions) and the extra you pay goes to fossil fuel units that wouldn’t even be running if the low-cost energy was on the grid.
Yes, a quarter-trillion dollars from your pockets to theirs — you still don’t think this is on purpose?

Are Republican politicians really this disconnected from reality?
This reeks of corruption.
Already, the “ice cream window” is open at DOJ for cash payouts to his cronies.
And another key point: stopping low-cost wind forces grids to fossil fuel, consumer prices go up, but the extra $$ go to Trump’s big fossil-fuel donors. Payola.
If anyone tells you we shouldn’t fight Big Oil on climate change, ignore them!
Not much mercury likely where the creepy fossil-fuel billionaires live... they’re cool taking the profits and poisoning other people's kids.
On the Billionaire Boys Trip to China, what chance any of them think about reducing your cost of living, versus wheeler-dealing for themselves?
We know where Trump is: he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation,” busy with billion-dollar ballroom and grifting.
And we’re fifteen years too late to the dark money corruption fight, and twenty-five years too late to the Court capture fight, and thirty-five years too late to the climate denial fraud fight.
But other than that, we’re doing great.
Time to pass my Big Oil Windfall Profits bill to claw back runaway fossil fuel profits and return them to American families.

President Trump’s reckless war with Iran is costing Americans at the gas pump. President Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, his policies are hurting people who can least afford it.

13 million of your taxpayer dollars. To repaint the Reflecting Pool. To a handpicked contractor with no competitive bidding.
This isn't a vanity project; it's a national scandal.
Repairs to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool will now cost $13.1 million.
Trump had promised $1.8 million.
The Interior Department added $6.2 million to the no-bid contract for repairs late last week.
