This is a long-overdue step by the justices, but a code of ethics is only binding if there is a mechanism to investigate possible violations and enforce the rules.

Want to know how we blew up the billion-dollar ballroom?

Let me take you into the parliamentary “reconciliation” challenge.

🧵
@EPWCmte Dems argued the case for EPW’s jurisdiction over White House construction and federal public buildings.

We argued that the Public Buildings Act requires EPW approval of projects exceeding $3.9 million. Which it does.
The Republicans’ problem?

There was no reconciliation instruction to EPW, so if there was EPW jurisdiction, the ballroom measure was defective.

Top 10 reasons why Democrats need to talk about climate change now:

🧵
1.  In some states, the top economic issue is the home insurance meltdown. Start with a big cost, add a huge increase, and you get big cost impact on families.
Behind the cost impact is huge hassle factor, as insurers abandon customers and whole markets, and families suddenly face massive “get new insurance” problems.

The gentleman who ICE hauled without cause out of his home in his underwear into the icy Minnesota winter (after terrifying his 5-year-old grandson) was from Laos, one of the Hmong hill tribes people of the then-Kingdom of Laos.

🧵
You should know a bit about the background of those people.

During the Vietnam conflict, the CIA supported a Hmong military force operating out of a base in Laos called Long Tieng, run by a general named Vang Pao.
They opposed the communist Pathet Lao, and fought to protect their territorial home. They helped rescue downed pilots and disrupt the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Yet again, actual data show wind and solar are the least expensive power on the grid (and getting cheaper by the day). So the Trump administration is just lying about that. A graph titled, "Wind and solar are now cheaper." Subtitle reads, "Cost to build electricity generation in dollars per megawatt hour, based on recent projects and fuel costs" and depicts the cost for different energy types with "gas peaking" as the clear most expensive.
Trumpsters lie in no-accountability public statements, but when the lie was challenged in offshore wind court filings that asserted huge cost savings for consumers, they conspicuously failed to contest that.
Demand is increasing and outpacing supply. Imagine if our supply no longer included all of renewable energy projected to come online. We’d come up short even faster. A graph titled "US New Electricity." Subtitle reads, "New electrons from solar, storage and wind are expected to outnumber those of new natural gas plants almost six-fold in the next 10 years." A bar graph of cumulative added capacity demonstrates this with data for each source by year.

This is getting ugly fast.

🧵
The saga began initially with Trump’s plan to illegally deport people from the United States to a foreign prison. When lawyers for the victims of that scheme got wind of it, they went to court.
The judge in that matter was the chief judge of the federal court in the District of Columbia, Judge Jeb Boasberg. When Boasberg ordered the illegal deportations to stop, the Trump administration violated his order.

Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now.

I get it. I have my own feelings.

🧵
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.
