Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.
The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Chief Bovino is not a political appointee. He is a civil servant, subject to the same requirements to be nonpartisan as any other employee. These messages are being broadcast from an official government account.

‘They bring diversity and ENERGY to a place like Minnesota!’ Pathetic. Somalians LEECH - DEPORT THEM.”
Response from Gregory Bovino’s official account: “Waltz is of the same class as newsome, stein, pritzker - gubners [governors] who choose illegal aliens over their own citizens. Amazing incompetence”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreihst32abq4yk2kvsi3sg5bjedowsscsf5lfojdskehwivjizr2tme@jpeg)

Reporter: The president said that if someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn't mean you arrest the president. How is that different than what the administration is accusing Maduro of doing?
Leavitt: You're cherry picking the president's statement.

Who would have thought that electing a convicted felon president would mean that he would be a lawless president who issues unlawful orders? 🤔

💯 this. Trump believes he’s untouchable, that he’s above the law, and that he will never be held accountable for what he does. And most everyone in my former political party has learned from Trump and mimics Trump. Bcuz they now believe the same. 💯 this.👇
Trump, Hegseth, and the rest of them are so sure they're never going to be held accountable for their crimes, and I believe it's fundamentally important to this country that we prove some things still fucking matter.

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.

If your doctor decided you needed an MRI (indicating concern about something serious) and you claim that you didn't ask why or what part of your body he wanted to look at, you are:

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Anyone who doesn't have shit-for-brains knows that things would have been better with Kamala Harris as president.
The only ones now rejecting it are racist, bigoted dipshits who will hold onto Traitor Trump until they lose everything.
And even then, they'll give up their well-being for racism.
