Mike Johnson says he will continue working to cover up the Epstein files 👇
Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

Soooo… 1. 25 years is 25 years too late, 2. We already have all the tech we need - #solar, #wind & #batteties - we need to fast track installation & stop all new #fossilfuels (@iea) 3. Not invented yet = no idea if they ever will! Bonkers & irresponsible! #auspol
Pressed to outline how the LNP will reduce emissions with their new energy plan, Sussan Ley says they’ll rely on “breakthrough technologies” in about “25 years time”😳 - ones not invented yet & “we’re not talking about today”🤔
There you have it. As bonkers as it gets. #auspol
