Bacon (R-NE-2) 10/06/2022: Retweet of @ADL – “Herzl saw #Zionism as a light unto the nations, and now, as @JGreenblattADL shared at #WZO125, anti-Zionism is a darkness unto the nations.

Cotton (R-AR) 10/06/2022: Tweet – “.@KatieBrittforAL is right. And this is another reason we should cut off funding for the UN Human Rights Council. Link to quoted tweetShameful, but not unexpected.

Bourdeaux (D-GA-7) 10/06/2022: Tweet – “For 20 days, the world has watched Iranian women so courageously rise up against oppression. I stand with the women of Iran and join in mourning Mahsa Amini and Hadis Najafi. We are watching as Iranians stand up for freedom.”

Bowman (D-NY-16) 10/07/2022: Tweet – “It is our responsibility to stand up and speak truth to power and shatter oppression in any form it takes. Refusing to be oppressed under the regime of the Iranian government and choosing whether or not to wear a hijab are forms of pushing back. Link to video”

Casten (D-IL-6) 10/07/2022: Twitter thread – “There is a tragedy - in the Greek sense, where the audience knows what's happening but the players don't - going on in our financial system as markets run from dirty, expensive energy to clean, cheap energy. Short thread: 1/ First, just look at what capital markets are doing. Exxon, Chevron, Shell are all trading at price / earnings ratios of 7 - 10. First Solar, Tesla, NextEra are trading at 30 - 100. Investors are 5 - 10x more excited about the future prospects in cleantech. 2/ There is nothing surprising about that. If company A produces widgets for $10 and company B makes them for $2, you'd view company B as a better long term investment in Big Widget. And it's cheaper to warm your home, drive to work and power your factory with clean energy. 3/ The whole energy conversation is so politicized, but this isn't fundamentally different from any other tech revolution. Innovators make cheaper, better tech, capital markets follow and old buggy whip manufacturers are left behind. 4/ That in turn is leading to unprecedented collapses in US fossil fuel demand. That's good for the environment and for energy consumers. BUT... it also represents a massive wealth transfer from energy producers to consumers. You have more money in your pocket. Exxon has less. 5/ You may not shed a tear for Exxon in this tale. But what about the folks on the Gulf Coast who's livelihood depends on oil & gas extraction? Or in Appalachia who depend on coal? They are Americans. They kept us warm and well lit for the last decade. We owe them dignity. 6/ And yet, we have a lousy track-record of looking out for folks caught up in these transitions. Mining automation made consumers wealthier but was terrible for John Henry. Agricultural innovation kept food prices down but left the Joads behind. 7/ What we SHOULD do is ensure that as we "make the pie higher" everyone gets a slice. Help folks get retrained if they want, move if they want or at least live with dignity where they are. Significant portions of the #InflationReductionAct sought to do exactly that. 8/ And yet not a single Republican voted for that bill. Who, coincidentally are vastly more likely to represent the energy-extractive parts of America who are already losing out in this transition. Why not? 9/ In short, because of the tragedy. Losers always cry in Washington louder than winners cheer. Rather than embrace the transition, they are fighting to subsidize failing industries that can't compete. They are trying to push back the tide. 10/ Here's just one recent example in Lousiana where they are trying to bully investors into keeping their investments in the least productive sectors. State treasurer accuses giant investment firm of putting politics ahead of taxpayers... | nola.com 11/ Investors choosing to put capital in companies that deliver 70x earnings instead of those that only deliver 7x earnings isn't "woke capitalism". It's capitalism. And capitalism is really scary when your community is tied to an industry that is struggling to compete. 12/ And thus the Greek tragedy. Political leaders in the regions who most need help are doubling down on their foibles. State pension funds are going to have less access to high-returns in those states where folks are going to become most dependent on a well-funded safety net. 13/ They are also directly funding groups like the State Financial Officers Foundation who are anti-market, anti-environment and are preparing draft legislation that will protect energy producers, but at the expense of all the people who most need help. 14/ I talked about this with Jamie Dimon and other bank CEOs a few weeks ago. Link to quoted tweetDuring this week's @FSCDems hearing, I asked @JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon to commit to stop funding a group that spreads climate financial disinformation. We cannot continue to ignore the financial risk of the climate crisis. (Link to twitter.com) 15/ It's also why I've been so focused on making sure our financial regulators are monitoring the flows of capital that result from climate change. Not just the losses from fires and floods, but also the flight to quality, away from extractive America. Casten, Feinstein Introduce Bill to Reduce Climate Change Risk in Financial System | Representative Sean Casten 16/ In the meantime though we are still left with this tragedy. The politicians who are politicizing the problem are making life worse for their constituents... while making those same folks ever more receptive to scapegoating arguments. It's a vicious cycle. 17/ We break the cycle with facts. With truth. And with empathy for our fellow Americans who are at risk. Their local leaders may not be standing up for them. It's on the rest of us to step up and lead with love. /fin A brief postscript. These two stories are closely related: In a world turning away from fossil fuels, state-directed anti-capitalism is the shared political interest of all FF-dependent regions. Saudi, Iran, Russia and Louisiana alike. Link to quoted tweetOPEC's slash in oil production this week should be called out for what it is: an attempt to enhance Russia's ability to wage an illegal war against Ukraine, and an attempt to meddle in US politics. It is time for us to reconsider our military support for the region. Thread:”

Cornyn (R-TX) 10/06/2022: Retweet of @SenDanSullivan – “This is national security suicide. @POTUS shuts down energy production in America—particularly in Alaska—then goes on bended knee to dictators in countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia & Venezuela, begging them to produce more energy. Does anyone in America think this makes sense? Link to quoted tweet”

Crenshaw (R-TX-2) 10/07/2022: Twitter thread – “Biden has an abusive relationship with American oil and gas. I don't know how else to describe it. He chastises them for not producing enough, while also hurting their ability to produce with more taxes and regulations. Link to video On top of that, he cozies up to foreign oil, like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. You can't make this stuff up. Now he wants to ease sanctions on Venezuela, probably because the Saudis have lowered exports, as likely retaliation against us for trying to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran—Saudi Arabia's big geopolitical threat. This stuff is complex, but the conclusion is simple: Democrats don't understand the real world or what fuels it. Kick them out in November so we can have rational discussions about energy policy again.”

Jayapal (D-WA-7) 10/06/2022: Tweet – “Seattle: tomorrow, please come out and stand in solidarity with our Iranian brothers and sisters fighting for change, bodily autonomy, and freedom in honor of Mahsa Amini.

Malinowski (D-NJ-7) 10/06/2022: Tweet – “"Malinowski said, 'I find it incredibly disturbing we depend on dictators for our energy' & the way to avoid that was to accelerate a transition to clean energy & get away from relying Russia, Iran, Venezuela & Saudi Arabia for the global energy supply."

McMorris Rodgers (R-WA-5) 10/06/2022: Tweet – “President Biden continues to turn to anywhere but home for more energy. OPEC, Russia, Iran, China, and now Venezuela, are emboldened because he is shutting down American energy and ceding our global leadership to these corrupt regimes.”

Barrasso (R-WY) 10/06/2022: Tweet – “We have American weakness at home and abroad. @POTUS & the Dems have undermined us as a nation taking us away from energy dominance.

Blumenthal (D-CT) 10/06/2022: Tweet – “Cutting arms aid provides a plausible path in persuading Saudis to pull back on disastrous supply cut plans.

Cartwright (D-PA-8) 10/06/2022: Tweet – “It's outrageous that by inflating global oil prices, OPEC has chosen to financially empower Putin, further funding his criminal war against Ukraine.

Costa (D-CA-16) 10/06/2022: Twitter thread – “The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) decision to slash oil production is a blatant political move by Saudi Arabia.

Khanna (D-CA-17) 10/07/2022: Tweet – “We should ask OPEC+ to reconsider their Saudi-led decision to raise global oil prices and give them five days. If they don't reverse course, we should suspend weapons sales and other military support that we provide to the Saudis. Link to video”

Khanna (D-CA-17) 10/07/2022: Tweet – “Gas touched $4 in Akron yesterday. That is a red line for many Americans. The Saudis are to blame.
