Just the last sentence or so about making a deal in the moment your in. The door seems open then. But the rest of it would seem to indicate accepting a promise like this doesn’t work out.

Yes, but. The last point is not clear.

That is it. To gut the ability of states and Tribes to protect their water quality to grease the skids for his pipelines. This bill does that- undermining section 401 of the Clean Water Act beyond the horrible Trump rule.

Well he said this was his be all and end all for serving a short stint in the Senate. It’s a bad deal.

That IS the reason for the project. So showing the work is central.

The permitting deal would fundamentally reconfigure the energy and environmental protection landscape. With GHG costs/benefits predicated on speculative assumptions/bets such that modeling is virtually impossible. And yet the Senate wants to bulldoze this through in a lame duck session. It's 🤯.

This deal is just bad. They are trading some benefits for decimating NEPA, undercutting water quality and endangered species. We need clean energy and transmission but clean water matters too. To get the good the fossil fuel industry gets to run wild.

Ann Mesnikoff @annmesnikoff.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

On timing - it’s a mystery why they chose now. But if they were going to drop it better to give time to rip it apart then try to shove it thru before the scope of harm v benefits is clear.

Ann Mesnikoff @annmesnikoff.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It’s a deal built in throwing clean water, endangered species and environmental reviews under the bus. The problem is that they cannot do what could happen for transmission without giving those things away to Big Oil and gas. Armstrong is there for this alone.

All this attention on permitting reform in the Senate - the real culprit in holding up projects from clean energy to transportation is the Trump administration - not NEPA or the Clean Water Act or the Endangered Species Act. Yet the Senate is poised to throw them all under the bus.

Was replacing the slats on benches in Capitol Hill parks one of the projects paid for with diverted funds? Pretty, but definitely not necessary. I saw trucks from other states as far as WA state while fences were being painted.

Why don’t they all get up and walk out together? Thats hard but maybe it would shake things up.

Agree that is horrible repetition of the what the administration wants the frame to be. I have noticed a drop in Guard presence around Capitol Hill (around Lincoln Park and eastern market metro). But clearly they are imposing their occupation on other neighborhoods.

It’s really probably way higher- the disruption, loss productivity as federal employees were jerked around and put under stress.

Kinda don’t want to see these images until the wave has gone big and crashed into shore leaving a ton of red seats sloshing around in the water (not actual red seats because that would be bad for the ocean).

Mail voting rules stayed put, so now comes the wildly radical part: actually making a plan. Check registration, know the deadlines, request what you need, and vote. Democracy works considerably better when citizens participate in it. #GetReadyToVote
