My breakthrough bipartisan ocean plastics bill, recently signed into law by Trump, is a beachhead. Bipartisan Senate work—even an EPW hearing—on next steps has already begun. We know far too little ab what this does in our human food chain, for instance. https://relay.nationalgeographic.com/proxy/distribution/public/amp/environment/2018/10/microplastics-found-90-percent-table-salt-sea-salt …

The only responsible & legally correct thing for the
@EPA to do is to withdraw this scientifically unsupported proposed rule. This is another example of how this agency bows down to the industries it’s supposed to regulate.https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/411839-epa-puts-science-transparency-rule-on-back-burner …Show this threadThanks.

This excellent article is buttressed by an added point: the fossil fuel industry protects a massive subsidy ($700B/yr in U.S. per IMF). So there’s not a level economic field for
#renewables; they have to fight uphill against an entrenched incumbent.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/16/opinion/climate-change-warming-technology.html …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Happy talk is one thing. The test will be what he does about the 73-decision partisan romp his “Roberts 5” took the Court on, in service to big
#Republican interests. That’s a little hard to explain as “balls and strikes.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/roberts-assures-audience-supreme-court-will-serve-one-nation-not-one-party-or-interest/2018/10/16/3c5238f0-d196-11e8-8c22-fa2ef74bd6d6_story.html?utm_term=.05bc911dd36a …Show this threadThanks.

Perhaps Roberts can then explain the 73 decisions in which he led the
#Republican appointees to deliver 5-4 partisan victories serving powerful R interests. 73 is a lot. The pattern is damning.

#Kavanaugh talked about joining a “team of nine.” In fact, he joins a team of five that reliably delivers big wins for the#Republican interests that had such a big role in his selection and confirmation.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/10/john-roberts-history-brett-kavanaugh-supreme-court.html …Show this threadThanks.

Legal acts done to obstruct justice, for instance, are still obstruction, with “corrupt intent.”https://twitter.com/senwhitehouse/status/1052346258894061569 …

I understand why
#Sessions doesn’t want his fellow Trumpkins to answer questions under oath, but it’s just legally wrong to say intent doesn’t matter in an act by govt officials.https://thehill.com/latino/411601-sessions-attacks-judge-who-ordered-officials-to-sit-for-depositions-in-challenges-to …Thanks.

Add in Big Oil execs saying they support a price on carbon, while Big Oil spends millions to defeat the only carbon price on the ballot, and you see what I mean about lies. It’s like they’ve been lying and denying so long they can’t help themselves.

I love these fossil fuel rogues saying a
#carbonprice “creates an un-level playing field within our industry,” when they’ve been surfing on a $700B/yr subsidy in U.S. alone, per IMF (Econ 101 says externalities should be in price).https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-15/washington-voters-to-decide-on-first-of-its-kind-u-s-carbon-fee …Thanks.
