The earth is spinning toward climate catastrophe.

Unfortunately, much of corporate America failed to support policies to #ActOnClimate
edf.org/media/climate-…
Many individual corporations profess to be on the side of fighting climate change, but support business associations, like @USChamber, a relentless adversary of climate action.
The US Chamber is not the local chamber of commerce sponsoring your main street businesses. It runs a massive influence machine on behalf of big corporations, touching every part of the federal government.
influencemap.org/report/Trade-G…
Thus far, the @USChamber has been able to hide in the shadows while the public remains blissfully unaware of their climate denial and obstruction.

It’s time for corporate America to demand that the #ChamberOfCarbon support real climate action in Congress.

In considering Schumer’s letter, note that the House articles of impeachment are based on sworn testimony that was subject to adverse questioning, where the Trump denials include no testimony taken under oath or examination.
Oaths matter, and witnesses to the alleged Ukraine shakedown attempt should testify under oath. It’s not honest to argue the impeachment evidence is too weak and at the same time block relevant sworn evidence.
This needn’t be a big burden. In the Clinton impeachment, witness testimony was taken by deposition, and relevant parts were entered into the Senate record. Easily done.

Republican faux outrage ignores that Nunes was not targeted by any subpoena — a somewhat important fact.

Nunes did call a subpoenaed target, so his records came up. That’s different.

You can’t complain about being wrongfully wiretapped when you call the crook whose phone has been wiretapped.

You can’t complain about being wrongfully surveilled if you go to a warehouse being surveilled for drug trafficking.
No one targeted YOU; maybe you shouldn’t have been in the warehouse or on that guy’s phone.

The Department of Justice Inspector General report shows there was a proper predicate for the FBI to investigate Russia’s malign influence on the 2016 election and contacts with the Trump campaign.
That puts to rest President Trump’s accusations of a deep state conspiracy, and no amount of spin from Attorney General Barr, the White House, or congressional Republicans can change that. Barr’s decision to question the report in the media says a lot about Attorney General Barr.
The Inspector General is a defender against political influence over law enforcement—a regrettable tendency under Attorney General Barr. I hope the Inspector General turns his attention to other allegations of politically motivated investigations by this administration.

The Council for National Policy #CNP, "The Secret Society" web.archive.org/web/2012102019… "the heart of a great conservative movement that helped to make America strong and prosperous in the 20th century – now helping to ensure she remains free and secure in the 21st century,"
Some CNP members - Mike Pence comes quickly to mind - in the context of bolstering their conservative credentials, have proudly revealed their CNP membership, even though CNP's policy is to keep membership a secret. Here is it's 2014 Membership, the latest splcenter.org/sites/default/…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
