    We need to start accounting for the fact that Ukraine can achieve victory over Putin. I’m headed to the floor to talk about that now.

    If you let that happen, interests that can gin up “controversy” can cause DOJ to flinch, and escape legal accountability. That’s not justice.

    Here’s the test for DOJ: will it avoid doing anything hard or controversial, as proxy for avoiding doing anything political?

    Putin and his oligarchs stow their dirty money in rule-of-law nations by purchasing mansions, mega-yachts, artwork, and other high-value assets. We ought to seize those ill-gotten luxuries and put them to use helping the Ukrainian people.

    They have power. As members, they’re entitled (indeed have due diligence) to ask about fossil fuel funding in the last decade: Chamber was likely paid millions to be top climate obstructor. Are they even asking that question? For sure, doesn’t want to answer!

    Companies that make flashy sustainability pledges while remaining dues-paying members of the are complicit in the Chamber’s fight against climate action. Corporations need to be held accountable for the damage the Chamber is doing in their name.

    In sum, they remain a bad net negative against getting on a pathway to climate safety. They are still a top U.S. obstructer.

    Outside HFC legislation (which doesn’t trigger fossil fuel interests), the “climate” stuff has supported has no significant effect on emissions reduction.

    All the Chamber’s fossil-fuel-funded evil bypasses that “conversation” and goes straight into operations, including attack right now on climate-aware Fed nominee Raskin and opposition to climate-friendly reconciliation bill.

    responded by corralling those companies into a climate “conversation” that has now been going on for over two years. Every good climate thing goes to climate conversation, where it dies. But not the bad stuff.

    Let’s review the bidding on the climate efforts. It started when InfluenceMap nailed as “worst climate obstructor in the U.S.” Some companies griped about being associated with that brand and demanded better climate performance from .

    The Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act cracks down on the chief beneficiaries/enablers of Putin’s cruel, corrupt kleptocracy as he savagely invades Ukraine. We should seize their super yachts, jets, mansions, penthouses & other luxury possessions.

    This morning, President Zelenskyy will address Congress from Kyiv, where Ukrainians have mustered their strength to defend their homes & lives. It is an honor to hear him speak at this critical moment, and I will keep pushing to secure help for his people.

    Oligarchs & kleptocrats should be terrified of bringing their dirty money anywhere near the United States. Instead, our financial system has become a haven for corruption. We need reforms to enforce transparency & punish those who hide criminal assets.

    This talented woman was attacked with lies by the dark-money “flying monkeys” of the fossil fuel apparatus. They can’t bully their way out of climate responsibility, but they sure do try.

    . is one of the most qualified people to have ever been nominated for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors– she previously served on the Board and she served as second-in-command at Treasury, both positions where she earned bipartisan Senate confirmation.

    The right-wing Supreme Court auditioning continues for the next time a Republican president is in office. Scheme donors expect stand-out candidates who wear their commitment to the cause on their sleeves. Watch closely.
