Pipeline giant Energy Transfer secretly funded a front group to influence the North Dakota court in the company's ongoing effort to destroy Greenpeace. The front group is run by infamous dirty tricks PR firm DCI Group. https://t.co/nGnv1EjgSy

New from @PDInvestigates: Emails Show How Interior Dept Delivered New Drilling Permits for Burgum's Billionaire Ally https://t.co/dk7jgnInTU

[Jesse Coleman @jessebcoleman]

Oil billionaire Harold Hamm got a helping hand from Burgum's Dept of Interior in the form of 71 drilling permits in WY. Hamm's company @ContinentalOil received the permits after handing Interior a "roadmap" for skirting a federal court injunction https://t.co/u1WUx0cCDr

Szabo’s EPA office has invited oil industry groups to offer specific wording for the revised rules.

“EPA had informally requested input on this topic and any suggested reg. text language,” Mike O’Connor of the American Petroleum Institute wrote.

A shady oil & gas legal group. A cadre of Trump appointees. A couple million in ultra-conservative dark $$$.

Oh, and an otherwise nondescript Texas strip mall.

All are part of the Endangerment whodunnit:

@ryanweather I think it’s wrong to assume EPA jettisoned the science argument because of pushback from NGOs. API and others with very well resourced legal teams have pushed the CAA legal route from the beginning. The DOE report is for bozos by bozos and was never the leading argument.

SCOOP: Trump's ambassadors are raising cash from companies for USA 250-related celebrations, including a rodeo & a Christmas tree lighting at the US embassy in Singapore.

“I need your money,” @USAmbSG told executives at a dinner sponsored by Philip Morris https://t.co/SD2I8WYW0s

New from @RollingStone: Documents show industry and regulators knew *decades* ago that injecting toxic liquid waste from oil drilling underground wasn't safe...yet it’s still being dumped below communities nationwide. https://t.co/HJNFFD5Ilp

Data also show that Texans have paid 28-52% higher annual electricity bills than Californian every year for the last 25 y

So, when someone points to CA's high electricity price, explain that what people pay is price x use, and electricity use/person in CA is the lowest in the US

Very noteworthy that @exxonmobil is funding Freedom 250, which pushes blatantly political pro-trump messaging on elections. https://t.co/PDYPQtNN7e

Pipeline enforcement is down. Here's the receipts: @PHMSA_DOT initiated 111 cases - 44 percent below 2024. About half the avg 217.

DOI 3rd in command Karen Budd Falen failed to disclose over $3 million in payments from a lithium mining company. Same KBF that said she wanted to be “god of the interior” during Trump 2. https://t.co/xreTNKohDm

Oil billionaire Harold Hamm's wish list has been fulfilled by Doug Burgum's DOI. Using a ground water study paid for by Hamm's company, Continental, The DOI is set to permit thousands of wells in a contested area of Wyoming https://t.co/90W4quMooH

Harold Hamm—the billionaire behind Continental Resources and one of Trump’s biggest supporters—has gotten major favors from the Trump administration. Here’s our analysis of this great story by @EricLiptonNYT and @nytimes. https://t.co/h5dlXdofqR

[Jesse Coleman @jessebcoleman]

https://t.co/GsNjWmav8Y Major ethics scandal brewing for "god of the interior" Karen Budd-Falen. Seems like she failed to disclose a major deal between her ranch and Lithium Nevada, a $2.2 billion mining operation the Trump admin just bought a stake in.

The processed food industry is beating back RFK jr-aligned nutrition policies with the help of Trump’s political machine. Big soda mobilized lobbyists, paid influencer campaigns and pink slime outlets to stop food dye and soda limits in states like Arizona https://t.co/Y6JyrVLHjM
