To give 11 interviews and *still* not know if you are on the record really underscores the gross incompetence of the Trump team.
CNN suggests Susie Wiles might not have known she was on the record 😆

almost three years ago I wrote a post in which I speculated that Marjorie Taylor Greene was only pretending to be a moron. it seemed ludicrous at the time but holy shit what if I was right? (either way, she's still trash)

is Marjorie Taylor Greene a stupid fucking idiot, or does she just play one on TV
you could easily conclude the woman is a low-wattage moron. but I think you would be wrong

Donald Trump's remarks about Rob Reiner's murder prove that Jeffrey Epstein was right about one thing: Trump.

Since the end of the Cold War, democrats have created 50M jobs and republicans have created 1M.
The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

President Biden was disliked, persecuted and hated because " HE STOOD IN THE WAY OF MONEY-HUNGRY BILLIONAIRES" , blocking them from RUINING LIVES, LAND AND NATURE, JUST SO THEY CAN MAKE MONEY!

This NYT piece--the story of Harold Hamm--helps explain in part why this is happening, regardless of efforts to combat climate change. The course of America energy history has shifted this year under Trump. A BIG deal. Read the story--understand a bit why and how. As you can see, it was a journey.

The life of fossil fuels is being pushed out in the United States--thanks to Trump and oil executives like Hamm. Yes, part of it is AI demand for more electricity. But it is also industry execs like Hamm who gave millions to get Trump back to the White House and now are cashing in on that win.

Trump’s Interior took that study, endorsed it and this summer, it started to issue permits to Hamm again to allow the drilling to move ahead. I was out there in early December and met members of the drilling crew who had just “spudded” Hamm’s newest well.

Federal records we dug up showed that after these questions emerged re groundwater impact, Hamm and other oil bosses hired their own consultant who did a report concluding no major groundwater impact will happen as 5,000 new wells are drilled. Guess what happened next?

My job as a reporter takes me to some truly wonderous spots--far from the big cities and coasts. This was one of them. But loads of oil operations here too. Loren Elliott, our NYT photographer, brought a drone with him to capture the scale of the landscape.

The last stop, at least for me, was Wyoming.This is where Hamm is pushing a massive oil project that was stalled during the Biden because of questions over possible harm to groundwater used by cattle ranchers. HOURS of driving to get there. But wow. Beautiful territory. Other worldly. This site.

Next stop for me was Oklahoma City, for a conference Hamm sponsored that gathered oil industry bosses, Trump officials and tech companies to talk about how natural gas (surprise!) can help power AI data centers.

EV charger funding. Tax incentives to buy EVs. Permits for wind energy projects. All gone. But tax incentives to extract more oil and gas were expanded by Trump and GOP-controlled Congress. There has been victory after victory for Hamm and his group, Domestic Energy Producers, in Trump's second term

Rebecca Elliott and I were meanwhile busy interviewing oil industry folks and digging up government documents detailing how Hamm has repeatedly used his clout, along with other oil-industry execs, to radically reshape policies, often in concert with Trump. Started in Trump's first term.

I was not discouraged. Part of the job. I next saw Hamm in Houston, at the big annual energy conference. There at his book signing, I had a chance to introduce myself to him. He was cordial, friendly enough, I thought. But he declined to talk to me.

But there was an awkward moment for me. I accidently ended up in an elevator with Harold Hamm himself (and his security team.) Oh yes indeed. They weren’t happy-- as one of his aides recognized me. I was escorted out by security--without a Trump pop-tart gift

I have been working on and off on this story, along with my colleague Rebecca Elliott, since January when I was at Hamm’s Inauguration Day party for Trump at the Hay Adams in DC. It was a crazy event celebrating the return of big oil to power in DC. Yes, Nigel Farage was there.

Hamm is only among a dozen or so key oil CEOs. But his friendship with Trump allowed him to play an outsized role in naming Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Hamm is a good buddy with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. Here they were last year with Burgum at a VIP dinner in North Dakota.

Our NYT piece examines Hamm's determined, 15-year campaign to reshape US energy policy. Why? He wanted to extend out the life of fossil fuels to allow his family-controlled company to keep drilling. He argued this is essential to US. energy security. A free link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/b...
