Concentrated economic power is a threat to both our democracy and our free and open markets. Over the past several decades, market power and economic concentration have risen significantly while enforcement has been in retreat. 1/2
I, like so many Americans, am deeply concerned about these developments. It is essential that we conduct effective oversight and act where appropriate to address this concern, which is why the @HouseJudiciary antitrust investigation is critical and long overdue. 2/2
Read my statement from Novermber’s @HouseJudiciary antitrust hearing entitled: “Online Platforms and Market Power, Part 4: Perspectives of the Antitrust Agencies” nadler.house.gov/news/documents…

Today, Republicans introduced their #FairnessforAll Act which purports to protect LGBTQ civil rights, but in practice would enshrine & federally sanction anti-LGBTQ discrimination in nearly every way - healthcare, social services, housing, employment, education & more.
#FairnessforAll Act would also roll back EXISTING protections against discrimination based on race, sex and religion – undermining key parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – AND could preempt certain state & local protections. It is a truly terrible bill.
Apparently the sponsors of #FairnessforAll Act believe its ok to be LGBTQ as long as you take your business elsewhere, seek medical care elsewhere, are educated elsewhere and that LGBTQ people should simply exist – elsewhere. vox.com/policy-and-pol…

NYCHA residents know their community best and need to have a real voice in determining its future. Public housing is a crisis in this city, and we cannot let our neighbors continue to live in these conditions. nadler.house.gov/news/documents…
I appreciate @NYCMayor’s willingness to hold this RFP, and to sit with residents & community members to craft a plan that works for the residents of Fulton and Elliot-Chelsea Houses.
I have joined with @NydiaVelazquez to introduce legislation to fully fund NYCHA’s capital needs, and I do not believe that demolishing public housing is the best way to save it. But there are hard choices ahead, and we have to make sure it is residents that are leading the way.

This morning the Supreme Court is hearing three cases to determine whether #LGBTQ workers are protected from discrimination under our nation’s sex non-discrimination laws, a decision that will have major consequences for our nation. #SCOTUS
Someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity is intrinsically linked with their sex. It is impossible to discriminate against someone in a same-sex relationship without, by definition, taking their sex into consideration.
Same goes for gender identity. It is impossible to discriminate against someone for not expressing themselves in a way that aligns with how you perceive their sex without considering... their sex.

Today @RockyMtnInst has released our foundational analysis to understand The Impact of Fossil Fuels in Buildings. Direct combustion in homes and businesses has been ~10% of GHG emissions for decades, with impacts on climate, health, & infrastructure. #energytwitter #climatechange
Across the US economy, gas has now surpassed coal in its overall contribution to climate change. With coal’s decline, electric power-sector emissions have fallen by a quarter in the past decade, but emissions from fuels burned in buildings have not budged.
The majority of these emissions are the result of burning gas (about 450 million tons of CO2 per year), with propane (78 million tons) and heating oil (64 million tons) still producing significant emissions.

Thread: Dismantling the Administrative (Orwellian) State
1)
 “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
-Ben Franklin’s answer when asked what type of government the Continental Congress had formed for the USA.
2) The United States of America was created by our founding fathers to be a representative Republic, a government of the people, by the people and for the people through which we elect representatives to represent our wishes in their legislation.
3) After studying the types of governments around the world and throughout history, they came up with what was supposed to be a government representative of her people, enshrined with three co-equal branches to keep each other in check.

Thread: Arguing with a Lefty About the Welfare State and More, Part I

1. Seems like a waste of time, doesn’t it? Lefties think we don’t live in a “welfare state” but at the same time don’t see any problem with “government assistance” of any kind. Let’s explore this.
2. Before getting started, many followers wonder where all the topics of my threads originate, as well as how I can keep pumping them out daily. I happen to like history & politics & their intersection. I find that most people ignore political history these days. Unwise!
3. Before my Tw@tter days, I used to collect and disseminate articles and commentary of interest to an extensive email distro list built up over many years, as well as engage in debates with a few of them on occasion.

Nigeria’s 2019 Election:
What Are We Missing?
Vote buying. Thuggery. Rigged primaries. Logistical
failures. Official misconduct. Ballot box snatching.
Budget delays. Voter apathy. Intimidation. Turnout
suppression. Inconclusive results. Bribed officials
#NigeriaDecides2019
These and many other challenges routinely undermine the credibility and smooth conduct of elections in Nigeria.

Congressional Antitrust Caucus
@AntitrustCaucus
The first @AntitrustCaucus briefing will focus on the impact of economic concentration on racial and gender inequality:
The briefing panelists include @Sally_Hubbard, @NellAbernathy, Seema Nanda of @civilrightsorg, Prof. Marcellus Andrews of @BucknellU, and @DiBartz of @Rueters, who will moderate the panel.
Over the past several decades, waves of mergers coupled with lax antitrust enforcement have led to excessive concentration and market power across the economy. economist.com/news/briefing/…
