Every Michigan school district reports its bus fuel spending to the state. We scale each district's 2023–24 report to today's diesel price from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Every figure is an estimate, with its source linked. busfare.walletshock.org/michigan

$7,922 to go. 227 people at $35 gets us there. Our billboard goes up in Detroit Monday, October 12, 22 days before Election Day, to tell Michigan what the Iran war is costing its schools. The spot is secured. Now we pay for it. #FollowTheMoney secure.actblue.com/donate/go-on...

Someone pays for $6.89 diesel. For schools it lands in next year's budget. One Washington district says diesel could add $130,000 next year, “the equivalent of one teacher.” 37% of districts expect to tap reserves. Help fund our Detroit billboard. secure.actblue.com/donate/go-on...

$3.80: Midwest diesel, the week before the war with Iran began. $6.29: Midwest diesel, week of Oct. 5. $29,066,828, at least: what Michigan school districts are paying extra for bus fuel this year, by our estimate. Find your district: busfare.walletshock.org/michigan

Odds are your kid's school bus runs on diesel. Nearly 90% of America's 480,000 school buses do. Michigan diesel hit $6.89 a gallon last month. By May, 56% of districts were over fuel budgets and 25% had cut routes. Help fund our Detroit billboard. secure.actblue.com/donate/go-on...

Deleting the J6 database was one of Trump’s most brazenly corrupt attempts to avoid accountability. We’re making sure that attempt to escape accountability falls.

French's plan for orphan wells on Texas ranches is to strip "DEI spending" from the agency. He also posted a photo of South Asian students at a UT game as proof Americans were "displaced by foreigners." The oil lobby condemned it and kept endorsing him.

Tofer Harrison @toferh.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Who wanted it dead? Tim Dunn's CrownQuest Operating called pit registration too stringent, then sued. Then PACs Dunn funds put more than $1,000,000 behind French, who beat the commissioner who wrote the rules by 1.2 points.

Zane Kiehne runs Z&T Cattle Co on more than 400,000 acres in the Permian. He told regulators the rules "will actually benefit oil and gas companies by lessening the number of future environmental damage claims." Ranchers asked for this. French calls it the Green New Deal.

What the rules do. Drillers must register where they put waste pits. Pits need liners where groundwater sits within 50 feet. Commercial waste sites face tougher construction and bonding standards. The Texas Farm Bureau said the changes "leave us in a better position."

The Permian Basin alone produces an estimated 3.9 billion barrels of wastewater a year, 5 to 8 times saltier than seawater, carrying arsenic, benzene and toluene. The Railroad Commission has logged 712 water contamination violations since 2015. The old rules predated fracking.

French is an oil heir. Family members and vehicles held 5% each of Kimbell Royalty Partners at its 2017 IPO. He is an officer of his mother's Furth Oil Company. She gave $225,000. He wants to regulate the industry that pays his family.

Tofer Harrison @toferh.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
French's top 10 donors gave over 70% of his money. The 452 Texans who gave under $1,000 add up to 2.3%. At least 9 of the top 10 are tied to industries the Railroad Commission regulates. That is regulatory capture on a spreadsheet.

$923,500 came from the Texas Freedom Fund for the Advancement of Justice PAC, overwhelmingly funded by Dunn. It was called Defend Texas Liberty PAC until it was caught meeting with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and changed its name. Add $285,000 and $100,000 from two more Dunn-funded PACs.

George Washington, 1790, to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport. 'All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship.' The refugee program built on that idea in 1980 is now a single-nationality pipeline your taxes fund.

The premise. A South African court ruled in Feb 2025 that claims of a white genocide are 'clearly imagined and not real.' Ernst Roets' Lex Libertas, with the New York Young Republican Club, has put 3,000 white crosses on the National Mall and wants a dedicated US envoy for Afrikaners.

The contract. News24 reports Amerikaners, the group Sam Busa founded to take up Trump's offer, went from volunteers to State Dept referral partner to US government contractor collecting about R6 million a year, roughly $375,000, to help Afrikaners apply for refugee status.

Right now. One lawyer says he has filed 400+ tort claims for Jan 6 participants and calls the existing Judgment Fund 'a real possibility.' Proud Boys want $100M. Jan 6 cost taxpayers $2.7B per GAO. Restitution collected from rioters, under $665,000 per CREW.

Blanche wrote that the fund is dead 26 times in answers to the Senate but refused to swear under penalty of perjury, as a court ordered, that it will not proceed 'in any manner, or under any name.' On Sept 4 a federal magistrate ordered the administration to name who designed it.

May 18, 2026. Trump settles the $10B suit he filed against his own IRS by creating a $1.776B taxpayer fund for anyone who 'suffered weaponization and lawfare,' plus audit immunity for his family. Blanche now says the fund is dead. Trump's words, 'It is dead, but you know, I wish it weren't.'

There was a policy. Military parole-in-place, created under George W. Bush in 2007 and codified under Obama, let parents and spouses of troops get legal status without leaving the country. Bipartisan for 18 years. Scrapped in April 2025. Recruiters still sell it.

DHS answered on Sunday. "Having a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate our nation's laws." The administration, it said, "does not pick and choose which laws to enforce." That is the official position. Written down.
