Before his election, Donald Trump promised oil executives that he would roll back clean energy policies for $1 billion in campaign contributions. Today, he followed through.

The Senate majority released new language in the tax bill that would end incentives for renewable energy and tax wind and solar generation. Together with the largest sale of public lands, this bill will put more money in the pockets of polluters—hurting Americans. www.nrdc.org/press-releas...

Trump’s massive power grab over our government is beyond the authority given to the president in our Constitution. Defending our democracy starts with speaking out. Thank you @booker.senate.gov for your leadership.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing.
Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense:

For over 50 years, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has given us the weather service, managed our abundant fisheries, and provided critical climate research. Now, President Trump is slashing the agency and these services are at risk.

Senate Republicans backed Trump’s “energy emergency” plans to scale up dirty fossil fuel projects although the U.S. already produces more oil and gas than any other country. This reckless move will enrich Big Oil at the expense of the American people.
