Wait, so he wants Dems to bail them out and come up with ANOTHER plan, that Republicans can then blame Dems for coming up with a terrible plan? Cool, dude.

It's what I like to call, "chasing the cheese dragon."

We finally thought you all had a backbone and were going to stand up to the bullies. We thought you would put on full display the GOP failure to function. We thought you were going to stand up for what WE believe in. But you caved and made yourselves a fool once again. This is unforgivable.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Cats on social media are like cats in real life. They are a distraction, annoying, but kinda cute, sometimes elusive and yet always there when you wish they weren't.

How Greenpeace Lost a $667 Million Trial -- But Saved Its Soul Greenpeace lost big but stood firm after Energy Transfer sued the group for its role in the Standing Rock protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline.

"Greenpeace understood that standing with Standing Rock meant being accountable for what could follow, even if what followed was legal harassment, internal conflict, and potential bankruptcy. That’s what solidarity actually looks like: showing up even when showing up means risking it all."

So much of our tax payer dollars down the drain. For what?

What to do if the Insurrection Act is invoked With the Insurrection Act looming, now is the time to learn how it might unfold and the strategic ways to respond.

I found this interesting. I really like the idea of adding humor as a form of protest and ridiculing the madness. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/04/what...

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I can hardly believe Sen. Booker is still going. This is what I want to see. More of this. More attention paid. More passion demonstrated. More of our representatives standing up for us and speaking truth to power. He has me in tears.

One of the lease sales in the Gulf of MEXICO that my team has challenged was found illegal yesterday by the court. We had a win!

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Fuck you, Chuck Schumer, FUCK YOU. Coward. Spineless. Traitor.

On Mondays, I send an email to my team w/an agenda for our meeting. I've begun starting this with a short paragraph of something cheerful that happened to me the week prior. Just a little something to start everyone's Monday with a bit of positivity. It's the little things we can do for each other ❤️

It appears to be! Waving hello across the interwebs!

BREAKING: Earthjustice is suing to block Trump's illegal ocean drilling order. ​Today, we filed the first major environmental lawsuit against the new Trump administration. We’re challenging an illegal order by Trump to remove protections for vulnerable ocean areas from future oil-and-gas leasing.

Alaska Lawsuit Aims to Block Trump’s Offshore Drilling Plans The suit, filed in Alaska, is likely to be the first of many challenging the administration’s goal of expanding fossil fuel production.

Just filed the first environmental lawsuit (of likely many) against one recent E.O. rescinding Biden's withdrawal of large swaths of offshore lands from oil and gas drilling!
This lawsuit was a huge push to get filed and many incredible people put everything they had into it. Great work, Team!

Oh dang, I'm already on the light rail heading home. Thanks for showing up today! ✊

I was there! Just left.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Trump wants more drilling, but the oil market is already saturated Despite President's Trump directives, oil companies can't drill if there is little market for their product.

While this regime is claiming we need energy dominance and the only way to achieve this is by unfettered drilling for O&G, they are misleading everyone. We are not in an energy crisis, unless we are referring to clean energy. We have more than enough domestic leases that aren't even producing yet.

Here’s What Senate Democrats Should Be Doing to Fight Trump Senate rules were explicitly designed to protect the minority. Democrats should exploit them mercilessly to slow Trump and Musk before they destroy the country.

Crisis at DOJ’s Environment & Natural Resources Division - Legal Planet Dismantling ENRD will be disastrous for future administrations, the American people, and even for the Trump Administration.

The Env't & Nat. Resources Div. of the Dep't of Justice faces its most profound crisis since it was established in 1909. This on top of all the other destruction from this regime. Today, my sister said "we need to let our differences go and be family. We need to support each other." FUCK that.

Read, share, act.

120. The Impoundment Crisis of 2025 The Trump administration's Monday spending freeze is likely to provoke a crisis over the constitutionality of "impoundment"—one that the justices could well have to resolve *very* soon.

Thank you, @democracyforward.bsky.social for filing for a TRO against the potentially catastrophic pause on federal grants. This pause affects financial assistance (including for foreign aid, NGOs, Tribal governments, scientific research, etc.). This directive is insane; the challenge is critical.

Reviewing the new Exec Order on energy dominance and permitting, a couple thoughts:

Its a fine example of the combined incompetence and malevolence that is the hallmark of this President. Its not even proofread.

It seeks to gut permitting and environmental review to streamline permitting of....

And now here we are, an executive order undoing all of previously banned areas for offshore drilling. We are fighting back.

Biden's recent ban on drilling offshore in sensitive areas is going to be challenged and my team is watching closely to defend the ban. Trump previously tried to "un-ban" areas Obama designated. We challenged that in an Alaska court which ruled against Trump. There is precedent to rely on here...

Biden administration warns natural gas expansion would drive up domestic costs New study shows LNG exports risk raising greenhouse gas emissions, hampering efforts to curtail climate crisis

DOE’s analysis confirms the facts we’ve known for years: exporting liquified natural gas raises energy prices, fuels climate disasters, and slows progress towards clean energy solutions. ejus.tc/400b4Cw
