[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Morris Katz: “How is it not a scandal that @SenatorCollins is married to a lobbyist who, while she was on the [Senate] committee deciding what firms get money, gave $76 million to her husband, that she has voted to fund wars that have enriched her own stock portfolio. Susan Collins and her lobbyist husband seem like a scandal…”😳

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built.

Think about that.

At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid.

Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient. He is entitled to his opinions about how they look. He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions.

Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.

Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.

Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.

Governments usually spend money to build things.

This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.

The Foreign Emoluments Clause (art. I, § 9, cl. 8): No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under the United States, shall, without the Consent of the
Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind.

Senator Ron Johnson told a television audience this week that vaccines cause SIDS, then when pressed for a source said he just read it somewhere and don't quote me. He is a sitting United States senator on the Senate Finance Committee who has a vote over federal health policy.

Dr. Peter Hotez is one of the country's most published vaccine scientists. He is pointing out, patiently and for the thousandth time, that the scientific consensus runs the opposite direction. Vaccinations are associated with a reduction in SIDS incidence, partly because some vaccine preventable diseases, pertussis among them, are actual contributing factors to it.

The senator's source is something he read somewhere. The doctor's source is the accumulated peer reviewed record of controlled studies. In any functioning information environment those two things would not share a platform on equal terms.

Socialism is the fire department saving your house.

Capitalism is the insurance company denying your claim.

If destruction of government property is a crime, I wonder what they'll do to the man who tore down the East Wing without a permit.

"Only very sick kids should die from measles"

No, Secretary Kennedy

NO child should die from measles.

Because there's a vaccine to prevent it.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

If DOD needs $80b to replenish stocks and pay for Trump’s unauthorized, unwise, and unsuccessful war, every cent should come out of the bloated appropriation for ICE and border patrol for Trump’s awful mass deportation project.

We've been forced to pay into social security our whole damn working lives, but this little weasel and the Republicans think we don't deserve OUR MONEY back in full when we retire? They say we're not "entitled" to it.

Fuck that.
See you in November, GOP. 🔥

[Matthew Hunt @matthew_hu41905]

🚨 WHERE IS THE MONEY? Blundell reveals that Trump and his cronies gained access to the Kennedy Center’s accounts, and $17 million in operational funds has vanished! This is blatant looting of public institutions. We demand a full investigation now! 🔥😡

So they're arresting people for taking a piece of the paint that's peeling off the Reflecting Pool while allowing the people who rape kids with jeffrey epstein to walk free?????

[Peter Morley @morethanmySLE]

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security.

Will you join me?🤚

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

So the ballroom is a fiasco, the reflecting pool is a fiasco, the Iran war is a fiasco—the Trump administration is a fiasco.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
