A GOP proposal would grant the fossil fuel industry immunity from laws or lawsuits.
This would make it nearly impossible for Big Oil to be held accountable for the climate catastrophe they’re enabling.
Once again, Republicans are trying to protect corporate polluters at Americans' expense.
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
With (former) Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick's resignation from Congress, we're at 84 members who started the 119th Congress and don't plan to return.
NPR's Congressional retirement (and resignation/died/lost election) tracker has been updated:

The leaked memos confirm what we all knew: Big Oil effectively has the conservative Justices on retainer. This casts a disturbing pall over future cases affecting oil industry interests, including, most notably, Suncor.

When John Roberts agrees with a Republican policy he will "conclude ... as a matter of law" he has "a solemn obligation to preserve it." If he doesn't like (most likely a Democratic) policy he will "conclude ... as a matter of law" that he needs to "stuff it in the garbage."

This is not an either-or situation. Trump is both unable to fulfill his duties and has committed high crimes & misdemeanors.
He needs an independent cognitive assessment now. We can't wait until he gets mad at another country & decides to commit war crimes in the middle of the night.

This is advance warning to every state’s AG. These fringe “conservatives” (radicals) are coming for ballots in every state.

when Musk bought Twitter I mentioned repeatedly that a BIG part of it was right wing information warfare
and I got a lot of odd, cocksure replies about how I was "overthinking it," "it's not 4D chess," "he's not that smart" "he tried to back out, so how could it be true," etc.
weird shit
surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

Fight fire with fire and take on MAGA's power grab.
