🚨The Massachusetts Attorney General has new evidence of Exxon's climate deception, including a deposition with an Exxon scientist who agreed the company's algae biofuel claims were misleading. “They are really scared of the public finding out about this reality,” said @aaronregunberg.bsky.social

New Documents Add to Evidence in Climate Deception Case Against ExxonMobil - Inside Climate News

Court filings by the Massachusetts attorney general’s office include previously undisclosed documents, revealing new details about internal deliberations at the oil giant.

There is much that is analytically wrong with Jane Flegal's support of the permitting deal. Should inject caution & humility to grasp of the scope of this very complicated, hotly contested brawl. And, to me, suggests the secrecy & urgency behind this bill is designed to override legit opposition.

This case is about fossil fuel CEOs’ profound fear of sitting in front of a jury of 12 Americans and trying to defend their companies’ deceptive conduct—because they know it’s indefensible. That's basically the whole deal.

Aaron's piece is spot-on This extends far beyond climate & "really does represent an attempt to fundamentally restructure our corporate governance model in the US" They want to not only dismantle the regulatory state, but also take away any judicial recourse to remedy harms. It is utter impunity

The oligarchs are coming for every last tool the American people have ever used to restrain corporate abuse, deception, and overreach. It's a huge new front in the right's push for elite impunity, and it's not getting enough attention. For @newrepublic.com. newrepublic.com/article/2154...

The judicial system should apply to everyone and corporations shouldn’t get to opt out of it.

Not a lawyer, but "SEC. 209. ENEPA TECHNOLOGIES" (pages 74-94) appears to require creation of AI tools for a) company use to generate environmental docs and b) agency use to review environmental docs. AI-generated forms reviewed by AI tools in understaffed/underfunded agencies! What could go wrong.

The Senate's permitting bill text is up. It's way too big/complex for anyone who didn't have early access to digest today, so beware hot takes, but this bit (p. 54 line 9) is funny: If an agency misses a deadline, the agency head can't travel >25 miles from their desk til the agency submits the doc.

Corporate Dems tried to weaponize the Uncommitted Movement against progressives. But to be clear, using a primary to push the party to stop doing something catastrophic is very different from opposing a progressive nominee in a general election, as some centrists have been doing.

Do you live in one of the 500+ cities and counties spending taxpayer funds to hire Congressional lobbyists who work for climate-cooking fossil fuel companies? Time to shame our local govs into cutting ties with #fossilfuellobbyists @polluterspay.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

US fossil fuel lobbyists also represent hundreds of cities fighting for climate damages

Analysis of federal lobbying disclosures shows local governments working with firms also linked to fossil fuel giants
