2. Last year, the Biden admin requested $715 billion for the Pentagon. Congress rejected that as insufficient and approved a budget of $740 billion This year, the Biden administration is taking that inflated number and adding an additional $33 billion https://t.co/CFPe69v0Fl — PolitiTweet.org

1. The conventional wisdom is the United States government is hopelessly divided — Republicans and Democrats can't reach a consensus on anything That's not true Year after year, everyone comes together to support massive increases in defense spending https://t.co/CFPe69v0Fl — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that so many powerful elected officials are willing to overlook or endorse Trump’s brazen attempt to subvert democracy doesn’t make it less illegal — PolitiTweet.org

Trump openly campaigned for the Vice President and others to obstruct Congress so this makes sense — PolitiTweet.org

@rsgreen30 Still a waste of time but my main issue is these articles may encourage other students to apply to too many colleges — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to understand the glacial pace and extreme caution of the January 6 committee. — PolitiTweet.org

@SenTedCruz "Thus far, the Jan. 6 committee has not subpoenaed Cruz, or asked for his voluntary cooperation, according to a source familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential matters." — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenTedCruz agreed to represent Trump in his unhinged lawsuit to overturn the election at the Supreme Court The only reason it didn't happen is SCOTUS didn't take the case https://t.co/IQVnO0rsyS — PolitiTweet.org

10. Corporations spend many billions convincing the public they are doing great things on climate and other issues How much time is spent scrutinizing these claims? That's where my newsletter, Popular Information, comes in It's free to sign up https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

9. If corporations are genuinely committed to addressing climate change they need to CALL OFF THE DOGS. They can't produce advertisements touting action on climate while deploying an army of lobbyists to do the dirty work https://t.co/MOqI54JNeT — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. Right now, companies like @Amazon want to have it both ways. They want to convince the public that they are committed to climate change but they don't want to be held accountable for their commitments or substantiate their claims https://t.co/MOqI54JNeT — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. The @USChamber says the current voluntary, standardless disclosures "have been and will continue to meet the interests of their investors on climate-related information" The new rule is too "prescriptive" and "overly broad" https://t.co/MOqI54JNeT — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. @USChamber, which represents @Amazon, @Microsoft, @Apple and other companies that claim to be dedicated to tackling the climate crisis, has already begun attacking the SEC"s proposed rule https://t.co/MOqI54JNeT — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. The proposed SEC rule would crackdown on the spin. Public companies would be required to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. And companies that make climate pledges would be required to detail HOW they intend to meet climate-related targets https://t.co/MOqI54JNeT — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. @Amazon is so into climate pledges that it bought the stadium rights for the NHL's Kraken and named it the "Climate Pledge Arena." But Amazon's pledge "remains unsubstantiated without any explicit reduction target for the company’s own emissions." https://t.co/MOqI54JNeT — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. An analysis of 25 corporations that pledged to reach net-zero found they collectively committed to reduce just 20% of their current carbon footprint by 2040 The plans include "loopholes" that allow significant net carbon emissions to continue https://t.co/MOqI54JNeT — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. In TV ads and sustainability reports, corporations tout their efforts to increase efficiency, utilize clean energy, and ultimately achieve "net-zero" emissions. But these claims are often misleading and incomplete. https://t.co/MOqI54JNeT — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. The SEC proposed a powerful new rule to require companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and substantiate their climate pledges Surprise! Corporations that claim to support climate action have already deployed lobbyists to attack the plan https://t.co/MOqI54JNeT — PolitiTweet.org

"Workers called Tesla’s factory 'the plantation,' and 'the slave ship,' not just for the brutal work pace... but... because Black workers were routinely segregated into a corner of the factory that lacked air conditioning," according to a former employee https://t.co/znlia2nA8m — PolitiTweet.org

"Thomas was the sole dissenter in a proceeding in which Trump asked the Court to stop the [1/6] committee from obtaining records of his communications relating to efforts to subvert the 2020 election... It is unclear whether Trump’s records would have implicated Ginni Thomas." — PolitiTweet.org

"Ginni became part of the team seeking to overturn the election. That team expressly identified, as a critical part of its strategy, appeals to the Supreme Court, and therefore to Clarence" — PolitiTweet.org
