Today in Politics, Bulletin 66, 2/7/25 … DOGE staffer Edward Coristine was fired by Path Network in 2022 (a company known for hiring former hackers), for leaking confidential information to a competitor.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 66. 2/7/25. We begin to learn more details about the incels in Musk’s 6-person DOGE team, and it isn’t pretty. That, and everything else you need to know about what happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

A Reddit post about a man getting his dream job that would help America and its timber industry sustainably only to have Elon Musk hijack the US Treasury and freeze all grants. An actual reality of his actions in American jobs and industry.

Heartbreaking.

Opinion | The World’s Richest Men Take On the World’s Poorest Children I’ve seen U.S.A.I.D. operate around the world, and it’s not woke — it’s lifesaving.

Trump and Musk's shuttering of the DOJ's Office of Environmental Justice proves the goal isn't cost cutting or efficiency. The tiny OEP brings in tens of millions of $ from illegal polluters. Without that, tax payers have to foot the clean up bill

From OEJ's deleted-today annual enforcement report:

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated.

MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans.

They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers.

Unacceptable.

The first crisis for President-elect Musk…

Montana Supreme Court sides with youth plaintiffs in landmark climate lawsuit Governor, GOP lawmakers charge that justices overstepped their authority in deciding Held v. Montana.

Huge win for the climate.

MANCHIN STATEMENT ON HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP BLOCKING PERMITTING REFORM

The end of Manchin’s permitting “reform” is a huge win for the environment.

The purported climate gains were illusory, while the giveaways to fossil fuels were permanent and hugely damaging. Can’t solve the climate crisis by throwing communities under the bus

We are stoked! Can’t wait to work with your team!! Congratulations!!

Trump gave Interior nominee one directive for a half-billion acres of US land: 'Drill.' Donald Trump assigned Doug Burgum a singular mission in nominating the governor of oil-rich North Dakota to lead an agency that oversees a half-billion acres of federal land and vast areas offshore: “...

We will stop them.

Trump once shunned Project 2025 as ‘ridiculous.’ Now he's staffing up with them. In recent days, Trump has tapped nearly a half-dozen Project 2025 authors and contributors for roles in his administration.

Trump is already packing his administration with the authors of Project 2025.

Project 2025 was always the playbook. But since they spelled out every horrifying detail of their takeover plan, we have the roadmap to stop it.

Trump Boosters Expect Big Returns on Their Investment: ‘The Shackles Are Off’ Wealthy donors to the president-elect’s campaign anticipate a more business-friendly atmosphere, including the firing of Biden-era regulators.

No one should doubt that whatever the rhetoric, the goal of the oligarchs and special interests that will run the Trump administration is to squeeze every last drop for themselves, no matter the consequences to the environment or ordinary people.

A graphic of a computer pop up that says “Recruit working class candidates to run for Congress. Nominate a candidate to run for— and take on the billionaire class — today.”

It doesn’t have to be this way.

A better world is possible, if we're willing to take on the billionaire class to build it.

Really close uncalled House race, Dem just took the lead by 30 votes.

If it holds Republicans may only have 3 seat majority in House.

And then they will be down two with Stefanik and Gaetz out.

Trump taps oil executive Chris Wright as Energy secretary The oil executive and GOP fundraiser disputes the need to fight against climate change.

A petrostate governor at Interior and a fracking executive at Energy. This is going to be the oiliest administration since George W Bush.

Trump names fossil fuel executive Chris Wright as energy secretary President-elect Donald Trump has selected Chris Wright, a campaign donor and fossil fuel executive, to serve as Energy secretary after his second administration begins in January.

Another puppet of the fossil fuel industry and extreme loyalist picked to run another cabinet agency.

Good news, Chris Wright has no idea how to run an agency and will be ineffective and clumsy.

apnews.com/article/trum...

Here’s the Center’s take: “Picking someone like Chris Wright is a clear sign that Trump wants to turn the U.S. into a pariah petrostate,” said Jean Su, director of the Center for Biological Diversity's energy justice program.

“I do agree. He will probably have to pull out. Sorry, that’s a bad choice of words for Matt Gaetz”

Trump’s Agenda 47 — And What It Means for Democracy As Donald Trump and his campaign embark on their “Agenda 47” tour, many aspects of Trump’s plan are already playing out across the country.

Donald Trump has been elected as our next president — what will happen now?

Here are his proposed policies regarding voting rights, abortion rights and democracy.

Nonprofits Vow a New Resistance. Will Donors Pay Up? Groups that used lawsuits and protests to stymie the first Trump administration will face longer odds this time. The courts are more conservative, and patrons are dejected.

"During Mr. Trump’s first term, Mr. Suckling’s group filed 266 lawsuits challenging the administration’s environmental policies, blocking offshore drilling and expanding protections for species from grizzly bears to bumblebees. 9 out of 10 cases had produced wins."
