"possibly"

While the US abandons the EU on the security front, the EU is looking to invest in US LNG companies. Seb Kennedy points out the folly. "this approach smacks of desperation, raising serious questions about both fiscal prudence and the EU’s longstanding commitment to climate leadership."

This! That addendum from Bynum’s staffer at the end is truly excruciating to read. As your constituent, Representative, you are missing the moment. Protecting Democracy *is* serving your constituents.

(Bloomberg) - Microsoft Corp. has begun canceling leases for a substantial amount of datacenter capacity in the US, a move that may reflect concerns about whether it’s building more AI computing than it will need over the long term, TD Cowen said in a report. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Big court win: judge rules Exxon, Shell, Chevron, BP and others must face claims by Puerto Rican towns in a RICO case alleging the companies engaged in a coordinated, decades-long deception campaign to conceal the true dangers of fossil fuel consumption. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Shutting down already installed infrastructure isn't "efficiency," it's sabotage electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

How are the Dems so bad at this

This is a heavy Republican district (R+32) Rep. Cliff Bentz "The crowd again started shouting “tax Elon,” “tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich” and “tax the billionaires.” The shouts and boos continued throughout the town hall" www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Same event.

Mexico’s Reliance on U.S. Natural Gas to Grow Amid Rising Trade Tensions I'll have a lot more to say on this matter soon... www.fitchratings.com/research/cor...

look at that little head nod acknowledging and agreeing w the crowd as they cheer his nazi salute

that would pay for the entire National Park Service budget for 33 years. but "government is inefficient"

More and more people are saying this

An unpublished document from the EU envisions direct public support for overseas LNG (say, in the US) Problem is that the same document identifies fossil fuel import dependence as costly and source of price volatility So why would EU deepen their LNG dependence? gasoutlook.com/analysis/eur...

Musk's mafia state

great analysis from @geoffdembicki.bsky.social on Musk's support for far-right movements in Europe www.desmog.com/2025/02/20/e...

Great piece on the first LNG project to get a key approval since Trump took office insideclimatenews.org/news/1902202...

Wild. -> 1% of Americans view Canada as an enemy (56% ally) -> 27% (!!) of Canadians now view the US as an enemy (30% ally) “Enemy” is a strong word. This massive shift in Canadian sentiment highlights the anger we are feeling in response to Trump’s aggression and disrespect.

Will the EU agree to buy dirty US LNG it doesn't need to keep Trump happy while he sells them out to Putin? @nickcunningham.bsky.social has the latest info and also highlights how Japan is a major player in trying to get the world hooked on LNG.

China is owning the future, just 6 months ago the US seemed like we would be competitive, now Trump is in the process of pissing all that possibility and prosperity away, well done

Most of the Democrats are cowering as Trump and Musk smash and loot the government. AOC is one of the few standing up

why have a union at all then bsky.app/profile/atru...

A former campaign staffer told me Fetterman is bleeding staff because of his hard-right turn - and not just on Israel. “This is a guy who, since Trump won, is for lack of better word basically a useful idiot for Republicans.” theintercept.com/2025/02/19/f...

Trump designates the cartels as terrorist orgs and Musk immediately suggests drone striking Mexico 🫠

I’ve spent the last 8 years working on a book about forever chemicals, or #PFAS, and the chemical industry’s decades-long campaign to cover up their dangers. What I discovered along the way is deeply disturbing, and yet the journey has left me hopeful. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554198...

Reupping this scoop from Friday

bizarre that the EU would consider public funding for US LNG... www.politico.eu/article/eu-f... ...when gas demand is declining, there will be a global supply glut, and European LNG import terminals are already underutilized www.theguardian.com/business/202...

unbelievable corruption in just about every move Trump is making right now

Gas extraction takes emotional toll "Gas extraction, production, and distribution are not only a physical construction but also a system of unfairness and marginalization that materializes in emotional, embodied harms to residents" ohiorivervalleyinstitute.org/wp-content/u...

Heartbreaking story. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, age 11, took her own life after her bullies constantly threatened to call ICE to have her Hispanic parents deported. Her story is one of the many real human consequences of Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. youtu.be/vwMGdnM24Cw?...

If there's one thing that'll fix high prices, it's deepening reliance on the thing that's causing high prices

Would have thought we had learned the lessons from 2022, but apparently not... A great way to undermine EU credibility on climate internationally while achieving absolutely nothing on lowering the cost of gas for EU consumers in any sort of meaningful time frame.

This is, of course, wildly illegal.
