Pennsylvania Democrats spent years staving off attacks from Republicans and the fossil fuel industry over a landmark climate initiative.
Now the state has pulled out of the program altogether, in what environmentalists are calling a 'shocking reversal.'

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Bessent's not only hiding these docs, he bizarrely claimed Treasury has no role investigating them at all. It’s a lie. It's impossible someone with his background doesn’t know about Treasury's extensive role investigating the kinds of financial crimes Epstein must have been committing.

What would those records help reveal? Where Epstein got his money. How he acquired and controlled his victims. Who he trafficked them to. What individuals and banks enabled the trafficking. Who else had control of Epstein’s accounts, and what crimes they committed.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Successive governments feeding the housing Ponzi scheme by handing wealthy people lots of money to invest in it is a big problem, but different topic to this one. Low income people can't get ahead because every time they get a pay increase along comes the landlord to grab it from them.

Reminder of why rents are reducing. I mean it's good that they are, but it's just because people can't afford to pay more and our population growth is slowing right down. Rents rise in lockstep with wages.

I checked car rego costs this morning.
Current levies are:
PETROL: $144.22 per year
DIESEL/ELECTRIC: $212.84 per year
Anyone would think this shabby govt is trying to dissuade the public from going electric...?!🙄
Oil companies will be happy-as-Larry.
