"Humanity is now standing at a crossroads. And when we look back at this crucial time, we want to say we did everything we could to push the world in the right direction." - Greta Thunberg

Maybe it's not the time to cut regulations that would make natural gas infrastructure expansion even easier?

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this cordinated campaign to delegimatize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans.
These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

What it changes is it takes away the tools local communities have to protect their land, preserve wildlife, and block dangerous fossil fuel projects. In exchange for…clean energy stuff that Trump will still absolutely kill. Even mods like Podesta are saying it’s a rotten deal.

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

Weakening our ability to restrict methane emissions is not only bad for the environment — it’s bad for business. Most U.S. producers have already adopted methane-reduction tech, giving them a real edge in global markets where responsibly sourced gas is in demand. Rolling back the rules rewards the least efficient, least responsible polluters and puts that edge at risk.
We can and should back American industry and protect its competitive advantage without gutting environmental protections.
Breaking News: The Trump administration is set to relax rules restricting the emission of methane, a gas considered to be a “super pollutant.” nyti.ms/3WP2qaG

Abundance and permitting bro legislative strategy:
Step one: declare clearly flawed bill perfect & inevitable.
Step two: insult environmentalist & other opponents, declare selves true progressive thinkers.
Step three: …

I would love one day for the opportunity to interview or debate Bret Stephens. He says so much nonsense with so much confidence. The whataboutism is here is pathetic.
Is the interior minister of Japan daily bragging about mass murder and ethnic murder and making foreign mothers cry?
Is the interior minister of Japan receiving billions of dollars in US military aid?
Is the interior minister of Japan's government being investigated by the ICJ for genocide and wanted at the ICC for war crimes?
Are we in a war alongside Japan right now?
Do US politicians, both GOP and Dem, declare they entered politics to defend Japan or have dreams about Japan?
I could keep going...

Podesta “added that ‘there are other issues’ with the bill in his view, including ‘removing states’ ability to ensure clean drinking water’ and ‘a lot of restraint on the ability to get courts to enjoin for NEPA violations’.”
That’s on top of this👇
SCOOP: Former Biden senior climate advisor John Podesta said senators should renegotiate the bipartisan permitting deal & he believes the bill’s permit certainty language hands Trump a “loaded Howitzer” to go after public lands.

Which is why it’s such a self-own that BAAJA constraints all future presidents from using new scientific data to direct agencies to constrain fossil energy projects, and establishes the baseline for differential treatment for energy projects using Trump’s last two years in office

The equivalent in Japan is Hisayuki Fujii, who is a perfectly reasonable reform minded public servant. He has not been cheerleading the obliteration of innocent people with US taxpayer dollars. Bret Stephens is worse than not a serious person. This level of sophistry in the NY Times is dangerous.
What about all these radical free-market think tanks is centrist? It amazes me that the "let's destroy nature for profit" people are somehow considered more moderate than the rest of us.

I will note here that Jody Freeman, Professor of Law at Harvard, says that BAAJA is:
"structurally designed to lock in and subsidize natural gas & other fossil projects over cleaner renewables for years to come, using the courts and taxpayer dollars."

it's wild that so many in the "liberal" policy space believe this bill will somehow be the constraint that finally gets Donald Trump to act lawfully.
👀 Great questions from 4 Dem Senators on the permitting deal’s “inherent logical inconsistency”.
"The promise of BAAJA will only succeed if President Trump takes care it is faithfully executed. The administration’s record gives us no basis to assume he will."

Tough BAAJA permitting reform questions posed to @SenCapito @SenMikeLee @SenWhitehouse @SenatorHeinrich by @SenDuckworth @JeffMerkley @RonWyden @SenMarkey: "[I]n seeking our support for BAAJA, you are asking every Senator to rely on informal assurances from a Trump administration that has proven to be an untrustworthy and erratic negotiating partner and demonstrated a willingness to ignore and violate the plain language of the law.
Beyond consideration of the actual text, the promise of BAAJA will only succeed if President Trump takes care that it is faithfully executed. The Trump administration’s record gives us no basis to assume that he will."
Great ongoing reporting by @SiegelScribe for @PunchbowlNews (See his post for link to the letter.)
Scoop in @PunchbowlNews AM: 4 Senate Democrats led by @SenDuckworth are pushing back on the bipartisan permitting reform bill, arguing it will further enable Trump to favor fossil fuel projects and won’t stop its attacks on clean energy. Merkley, Markey, Wyden join new letter

Proponents should feel free to name the time when bipartisan energy policy got negotiated in secret and jammed through in the lame duck with no hearings or markups.
