According to a 2018 Yale survey, 55% of Texans support expanding oil and gas drilling off the U.S. coast.

So do 52% of Americans in Iowa, New Hampshire, Arizona and South Carolina.

About 240,000 Texas jobs depend on oil and gas.
Not only would this hurt American workers and their families, it would amount to unilateral surrender in the global competition of energy production, and be a huge gift to Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabia. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/kremli…
In FY 2018, the four Gulf oil and gas producing states – Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas – received nearly $215 million in offshore oil and gas production revenue.

Alabama - $24.5M
Louisiana $75.8M
Mississippi $25.4M
Texas $46.3M

It’s disturbing that so many racists and bigots seek to work at the New York Times. Why is that?

DOJ IG blasts James Comey:

"Comey's characterization of the Memos as personal records finds no support in the law & is wholly incompatible with the plain language of the statutes, regulations, & policies defining Federal records, & the terms of Comey's FBI Employment Agreement."
Page 54 of the DOJ IG report:

"Comey Violated Department and FBI Policies Pertaining to the Retention, Handling, and Dissemination of FBI Records and Information"
oig.justice.gov/reports/2019/o…
DOJ IG: it's "particularly concerning that Comey did not tell anyone from the FBI that he had retained copies of the Memos in his personal safe at home, even when his [COS], the FBI's [ADD], & 3 SSAs came to Comey’s house on May 12, 2017, to inventory & remove all FBI property."

Paperless voting machines are just waiting to be hacked in 2020. But a startling number of counties don't plan on doing anything about it. politi.co/2T6Ke7H
Cybersecurity experts are urging jurisdictions to replace paperless machines. But these states still used them in 2018:
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana

Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
South Carolina

We spent 5 months asking election officials in the 14 states who used paperless voting machines last year about their plans to switch to paper. Here’s what we learned 👇 politi.co/2T6Ke7H

#Texas political affiliation, according to 2014 Pew Survey.

Top level: Texas is a preponderance Democrat state run almost entirely by Republicans. In some areas, the only challenger to Republican candidate is a Libertarian.

Let's drill down one level...
A mystery starts to unravel. Texans who are strongly Republican. Latinos are mixed/lean Democrat, and blacks are Democrat.

This makes voting rights and gerrymandering issues extremely important to how a Republican minority dominates elections in a state with equal D & R.
Correction: Texans who are *white are strongly Republican.

A (long) thread on the Trump EPA's #DoNothingButHarm air pollution & climate pollution agenda, including the cynical hypocrisy at the heart of EPA's proposed Dirty Power Plan for fossil fuel-burning power plants.

Buckle up. 1/
The Trump EPA has proposed to repeal stronger carbon pollution standards for fossil fuel-burning power plants, replacing them with weaker standards that allow up to 1,400 more deaths & tens of thousands more asthma attacks, annually. nytimes.com/2018/08/21/cli… 2/
The former industry coal plant attorney now heading the EPA air quality office, Bill Wehrum, has implicitly conceded the proposed Dirty Power Plan will let industry pollute more than the Clean Power Plan that the Trump EPA proposes to repeal. 3/

1) Ok, I want to wrap up this really good--but flawed--book "Devil's Bargain" as I have to speak in CA tomorrow night. We left off on 125: Bannon & Robert Mercer got along cuz Mercer was used to thinking in unusual & abstract terms.
2) Mercer agreed to put $10m into Breitbart News's relaunch in 2012, but Andrew's sudden death put Bannon in charge.

3) According to Green Bannon had a 4-pronged approach to discredit Cankles (as if she needed discrediting): First, Breitbart;
3) contd. Second, the Government Accountability Institute (Schweizer's outfit) that did serious, long research projects like "journalists' actually used to do. (This resulted in "Clinton Cash"); Third, Glittering Steel, the film production arm; . .

Iowa & South Carolina voters! If u care about public education, u must call ur state legislators NOW to oppose pending legislation to join the so-called "Convention of States" to amend the U.S. Constitution! This effort is backed by the #Kochs & #ALEC! Sourced info. below. 1/
2/ The #Kochs--who support and fund the pending legislation in states like Iowa and SC to call a Convention of States to amend the U.S. Constitution (see posts below)--are determined to undermine public education. commondreams.org/views/2018/02/… …
3/ Here is a handout w/ links to model legislation from #ALEC--a #Koch funded organization --that would undermine public education. #ALEC is also pushing for a Convention of States to amend the US Constitution via pending bills in states like IA and SC!
