How Oligarchy, rule by the rich, works

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Capital One cheats customers and gets caught.

They agree to pay back $2.2 billion.

Then they donate $1 million to Trump.

Poof! Settlement canceled.

Cap One pockets $2.2 billion instead.

If you cannot feel it, see it. Objective measurement matters!

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:

-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000

This is what class warfare looks like.

You can tell he totally has MAGA Catholics in mind with this quote 👇

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good.

Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year.

So much for all that talk about "efficiency."

I support @insideclimate. You should too. https://t.co/k7hFE48ptq @fundjournalism

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

The Senate should REJECT Russ Vought's nomination.

You know what makes absolutely no sense? Confirming the mastermind of the last few days of chaos to oversee our country’s budget again.

[Emily Herbert @emherbor]

Vought “Properly understood, [OMB] is a President’s air-traffic control system with the ability and charge to ensure that all policy initiatives are flying in sync and with the authority to let planes take off and, at times, ground planes that are flying off course." Project 2024

We are part of Creation. Human lives are tied to the fate of all life on Earth: air, water, soil, trees, creatures, minerals

Every second, trillions of flowing cells transporting oxygen to your respiring mitochondria

The blood is the bridge between breath and flowing electrons in your mitochondria

So beautiful !

Exciting news! $33 million is coming to Southern Oregon from the Inflation Reduction Act to build the state’s first wildlife overpass.

[Jeff Merkley @JeffMerkley]

I’ve just learned that out-of-state dark money PACs are targeting other races in Oregon, too. To reiterate:

Organizations running smear campaigns full of disinformation is reprehensible.

I strongly condemn dark money campaigns which are so damaging to our democracy.

[Khanh Pham for Oregon @KhanhPhamForOR]

These attack ads are terrible. When unknown donors spend millions on a smear campaign to swing the Oregon Congressional races, Oregonians lose trust in our democratic process. We must close loopholes to ensure political spending is as clear as daylight. https://t.co/QG1Z8Uvv5m

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

After last week's news that convicted felon Paul Manafort may rejoin Donald Trump's campaign, I'm asking the DNI to declassify details about Manafort's connections to Russian operatives from a Senate Intel report on Russian interference in the 2016 election to benefit Trump.

Ceasefire. Now.

When we sell liquified natural gas to some of our biggest rivals like China, we are boosting their economies and creating higher energy costs for families across the US.

[Oregon League of Conservation Voters @OLCV]

📣“These new safeguards to reduce methane pollution will have a huge impact on fighting the climate crisis and protecting the health of communities who live next to oil and gas operations — which are often low-income communities and communities of color.”

Happy Hanukkah! Wishing light and love to everyone in Oregon and around the world celebrating the Festival of Lights.
