@bubbaprog @RepKatiePorter Mr. Summers -
How many acres of public land are ALREADY LEASED by the fossil fuel industry that haven’t been used yet?

S: blah blah blah…

P: Reclaiming my time!

The answer is 13.9 MILLION acres.

There are 7,700 UNUSED permits. 1/
@bubbaprog @RepKatiePorter @katieporteroc: To visualize how much UNUSED federal land is ALREADY AVAILABLE to the fossil fuel industry, let’s say:

1 grain of rice = 1 acre of land

That would be 479lbs of rice!!

That’s 13.9 MILLION pristine acres of land already leased to the oil and gas companies. 2/
@bubbaprog @RepKatiePorter @katieporteroc 3. Rep. Porter: The American Petroleum Institute has 13.9 million federal acres at their disposal, yet they SUED to stop the pausing of further public land leases.

Do you [Gas & Oil Execs] support the pausing of federal land leases to the fossil fuel industry?

No.
No.
No.
No.
@bubbaprog @RepKatiePorter @katieporteroc @Chevron @bp_America 4. Rep. Porter: The oil/gas industry already has 13.9M unused acres. That’s the equivalent of Maryland + NJ combined!

How much more do you need?!

You already have 2 of our 50 states at a price that makes the LA Purchase look like a rip-off!

How much more do you need?!

Uhm…
@bubbaprog @RepKatiePorter @katieporteroc @Chevron @bp_America 5. Rep. Porter to Oil/Gas Execs:

Our public land belongs to the American people, NOT Big Oil.

When you lobby and you SUE so that you can take more of our public land, you’re saying, “Too much is NEVER enough!”

The American people are tired of this charade!

<standing OVATION!>

🇺🇸The #FreedomToVoteAct, along with the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct contain the most comprehensive democracy reform laws enacted in decades.

The #FTVA will protect our elections from sabotage, dark money, gerrymandering and voter suppression. Get the facts:
brennancenter.org/sites/default/…
2. What would the #FreedomToVoteAct do?

EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES TO VOTE

The #FTVA creates a baseline national standard for voting access, preempting many of the onerous, racist restrictions passed by Republicans to prevent POC, people in lower income and/or Dem areas from voting.
3. What would the #FreedomToVoteAct do?

• Require all 50 states to offer Early Voting for at least 2 weeks prior to Election Day and include night and weekend hours.

• Require EV locations be easily accessible to all voters, esp. voters in rural areas and on college campuses.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD)
Lead Impeachment Manager

“Our case is based on COLD, HARD, FACTS. It’s all about the facts.”
2. @RepRaskin:

“President Trump has sent his lawyers here today to try to stop the Senate from hearing the facts of this case.

They want to call the trial over before any evidence is introduced.”
3. Raskin:

Trump’s lawyers argue “that if you commit an impeachable offense your last few weeks in office, you do it with Constitutional *impunity* -

You get away with it!”

On August 3, 2020 - Putin insider and Trump whisperer, Artem Klyushin, provided Donald Trump with a roadmap for annulling the Presidential election, in case he would be defeated.

A roadmap, thinly veiled as ‘the Democrats plan’ that in November Trump followed to the letter. 1/
2. Pretending it’s the Dems’ plan, Klyushin instructs Trump to form “a coalition of rebel states” that could “declare succession from the United States.”

Klyushin names the 12th Amendment, the Congressional certification of the election, as a vehicle for annulling results.
3. Thinking the November election would be close, Klyushin tells Trump he could challenge the election, and then describes how electors could be used to provide favorable results. Conspiracy theories a plus!

Again, these “suggestions” were given to Donald Trump on Aug. 3, 2020.
