The Opposition Gains Momentum and More Bad News For TrumpBig events in Texas, new protests, Dems stall big evil bill, and moreBefore we start another week of Trump’s absolute madness, I’m glad to have a fresh edition of Great News for you today. Thanks for being here—let’s dive in. Fmr. Dem Rep. Beto O’Rourke drew a big crowd for his town hall in San Antonio, TX—joined by Dem Rep. Joaquin Castro and other elected officials. Beto also spoke to another full house at a separate event in Laredo, TX. O’Rourke ripped Trump’s big evil bill, saying: “What if … we stopped … shoveling trillions of dollars to the … wealthiest people in this country, and instead use the trillions to cure cancer … to build the millions of homes we need in this country so people have a roof over their heads.” Elon Musk’s birthday was “celebrated” yesterday with global Tesla Takedown protests. Dubbed “Musk Must Fall,” the day of action featured dozens of events held across the world outside of Tesla showrooms and dealerships. There are national “Sick Of ICE” protests scheduled for July 1. Organizers are urging folks to call in sick to work, and take to the streets to speak out against the Trump regime’s many immigration abuses. BRAIN WORM RFK JR! Speaking of sickness, The American Academy of Pediatrics took a stand against failing HHS head Bob Kennedy—by leaving his vaccination advisory panel. They said they won’t take part in “a system that is being politicized at the expense of children's health.” Good. Everyone should constantly call Kennedy out for the harm he’s doing. Meanwhile, in Florida, a large group of protesters gathered outside the new “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE detention center in the Everglades. It’s a complete waste of money—basically a militarized tent city that’s expected to cost close to half a billion dollars a year. It’s an inhumane abomination. Two groups, Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity are pushing back. They just filed a federal lawsuit against awful DHS Secretary DOG KILLER Kristi Noem in US District Court on Friday, with the goal of shutting down the facility. Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and DC Metro police officer Daniel Hodges are suing the Architect of the US Capitol—for failing to hang a plaque honoring those who bravely fought off the January 6th insurrection. The plaque was legally required to be installed on the building more than 2 years ago, but it’s been sitting in storage collecting dust ever since. Some Dem Members of Congress got tired of waiting, and started putting up copies of the plaque outside of their DC offices. CA Gov. Gavin Newsom had some strong words about his new $787M defamation lawsuit against Fox “News,” saying: “The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bulls**t. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox.” Trump is pushing for a vote on his big evil budget bill in the next few days. Democrats stalled a vote by having the entire garbage legislation read aloud—as of now, they’re 11 hours in. GOP Sens. Thom Tillis, and Rand Paul—who can’t be trusted to run a toaster—said they’ll vote against the bill. But that’s not enough to stop it. I run one of the biggest Contact Congress campaigns out there. We’ve made countless calls, and sent more than 400,000 letters to block this big evil bill. All while pushing hard against any GOP cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, and more. We’re completely independent, thanks to 100% of our work being funded by our readers. And right now, more than ever, we need all hands on deck. So if you haven’t already, please become a paid subscriber today: No matter how you subscribe, thanks for standing strong with me. Onward! Scott COMMENT: This bill is an abomination. This clip with Senator Warren on the latest details explains the potential damage - and how they have strategically staggered its worst impact to fall later after elections when a potential Dem POTUS is in office. Just evil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISc8KjmT-Cw Senator Warren initially ran against a DIRTY ENERGY KOCH SOCK PUPPET Scott Brown, well known for his centerfold photos. (Scott Brown initially filled Senator Kennedy's unexpired term after his passing.) Although she was a relatively unknown at the time, there was a man who stood out every single day on a highway ramp holding her sign. She defeated SCOOTER BROWN who went on to CARPET BAG in NEW HAMPSHIRE where he was defeated by another WOMAN, Senator Jean Shaheen! SCOTT BROWN is the ONLY CANDIDATE to be defeated TWICE by women!

And he's running again? Scott Brown announces second run for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire "R" voters are conspicuously uninformed & refuse to do research. KELLY AYOTTE's history is widely available - she sued PLANNED PARENTHOOD, lost & paid their legal fees. NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS & DIRTY ENERGY KOCH $$$ are unpredictable. They elected KELLY AYOTTE who was previously defeated as the incumbent SENATOR for good reason. Went on the become corporate mouthpiece for corporations she did business with as Senator, has lots of STOCK as a consequence. She's got a lengthy & controversial history, anti-union, anti-minimum wage, etc. Her gubernatorial opponent was supported by unions etc. NEW HAMPSHIRE supports their schools with REAL ESTATE TAXES with predictable results. I did voter canvassing in NH & poor education & poverty was conspicuous. I worked with a group that sent me into REPUBLICAN VOTING neighborhoods: WOW! NEW HAMPSHIRE has opposed income tax & has state owned stores - like liquor stores - that Massachusetts residents drive over the border for purchases. NEW HAMPSHIRE residents clog Massachusetts highways traveling for better paying jobs. https://middlebororeview2.blogspot.com/2024/09/kelly-ayotte-scrutinize-her-record.html HuffPost: Kelly Ayotte’s Deep Ties To Scandal-Plagued ‘Green’ Energy Firm excerpt: HuffPost notes that “contrary to myths about Bloom, our research indicates that Bloom’s technology is not sustainable, clean, green, or remotely profitable.” Investigative articles from Forbes and Axios respectively concluded that Bloom’s technology is “too dirty and too costly’ to transform the electric grid, and that the company has “‘a history of playing fast and loose with its numbers.’” Kelly Ayotte served as chair of the Bloom Energy Board of Directors’ nominating, governance, and public policy committee while the fuel cell startup mishandled hazardous waste and allegedly “misrepresented its profitability and financial health.” Public filings show that Ayotte “earned at least $131,250 and received more than 13,000 company shares” while at Bloom. The new reporting is just the latest example of Ayotte deceiving the public about her record while pushing to advance her career. Ayotte has falsely claimed to be a supporter of clean energy initiatives, despite her involvement at Bloom, as well as her role as “sherpa” for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, who, since joining the Supreme Court, has voted on numerous occasions to weaken the federal government’s ability to adequately address the impacts of climate change. “Ayotte’s involvement at a scandal plagued ‘green’ energy firm is fitting – similar to Bloom, Ayotte embellishes her track record and downplays the destructive practices that she takes part in,” said NHDP Chair Ray Buckley. “Wealthy corporations might find Ayotte’s deceit appealing, but Granite Staters see right through it and will hold her accountable in this year’s race for governor.” https://www.nhdp.org/post/huffpost-kelly-ayotte-s-deep-ties-to-scandal-plagued-green-energy-firm But in the intervening years between leaving the Senate and running for governor, Ayotte spent her time in the private sector and made over $2.1 million in cash fees serving on corporate boards between 2017 and 2023, according to an NBC News review of corporate proxy statements. The figure does not include any stock she was awarded while serving on the corporate boards, which could also total in the millions, and it includes only reported data from public companies on whose boards Ayotte served, like Blackstone, Bloom Energy, Boston Properties, News Corp. and Caterpillar, not private companies where she was also reported to have served on boards, like Blink Health and Citronics. At different points in 2023, Ayotte owned over 16,000 shares of Blackstone stock and over 7,000 shares of stock in Boston Properties, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings. In January 2024, she also reported owning over 50,000 shares of News Corp. stock. Ayotte also served in advisory roles for several other companies, like Chubb Insurance, Microsoft and Revision Military. MIKE POMPEO NEGOTIATED THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL WITH THE TALIBAN, EXCLUDING THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT, WITHDRAWING U.S. MILITARY, RELEASING TERRORISTS THAT THE AFGHANS HAD ARRESTED TO SABOTAGE THE INCOMING BIDEN ADMINISTRATION - POMPEO SET THE DEADLINE! FOR AYOTTE TO OPINE INDICATES HER WARP! As a member of the Afghanistan Study Group, building on an area of focus for her as a senator, she co-authored a report in 2021 urging the Biden administration to postpone the deadline for the required withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. She also authored a letter to the editor in The Washington Post in 2019 about the GOP’s plans to tackle climate change. SO WHAT'S AYOTTE GONNA DO? WHERE IS HER POLICY DEFINED? In the letter, Ayotte critiqued a recent article that she said “failed to take into account several examples of recent Republican leadership on advancing clean-energy solutions. As a former senator and strong public advocate with a track record of advancing policy in the clean-energy space, I feel compelled to set the record straight and give credit where it is due.” When she wrote the letter, Ayotte was also serving as an adviser to Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, a right-of-center nonprofit aimed at pushing Republican politicians to advocate for clean energy solutions. She also zoomed in on more local issues in the press. In 2021, Ayotte also wrote an op-ed in the New Hampshire Union-Leader criticizing Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess for seeking to “strip the [police] department of ... independent oversight and seize control.” At the time, Nashua’s Police Commission was the last in the state whose commissioners were still appointed by the governor, rather than locally. Ayotte’s allies are quick to point out that despite her service on corporate boards and in various political roles since leaving the Senate, she’s also sought to return to her New Hampshire community in more average ways. One person who used to work with Ayotte told NBC News, “Since leaving the Senate, it’s not unusual to see her at the Penguin Plunge,” or in the carpool line at her children’s school, where she serves on the board. “They’re just, you know, they’re just regular New Hampshire parents,” the person added. Now, Ayotte is trying to climb back onto the political ladder and lead the state. NBC Legislation Ayotte sponsored 217 bills, including:[73] CHECK THE LINK: WIKIPEDIA Post-Senate career Ayotte has been named to several corporate boards of directors, including Caterpillar Inc., News Corp., BAE Systems, Boston Properties, Blink Health, Bloom Energy, and Blackstone Group.[86] Minimum wage Ayotte opposes increasing the minimum wage,[106] and opposes federal legislation to index the minimum wage to inflation, reflecting adjustments in the cost of living.[107] Ayotte said she supports the current federal minimum wage, but that "each state should decide what is best" when it comes to raising it.[108] Social Security In 2010, Ayotte said she was open to raising the Social Security retirement age for younger workers in an effort to avoid long-term insolvency, but does not support changes for people at or near retirement.[107][109] Labor issues Ayotte opposed passage of the Employee Free Choice Act ("Card Check"), which would have amended the National Labor Relations Act to allow employees to unionize whenever the National Labor Relations Board verified that 50% of the employees had signed authorization cards, therefore bypassing a secret ballot election.[110] Climate and energy In 2010, when asked about climate change, Ayotte acknowledged that "there is scientific evidence that demonstrates there is some impact from human activities" but stated that "I don't think the evidence is conclusive."[116][121] She opposed both a cap-and-trade system and a carbon tax to reduce carbon emissions.[116] In 2011, she voted to limit the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.[122] In 2012, Ayotte voted with four other Republican senators to defeat a proposal to block the Environmental Protection Agency from promulgating the first federal standards regulating air pollution from power plants.[115] In 2013, she voted for a point of order opposing a carbon tax or a fee on carbon emissions.[123] Health care Ayotte favors repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare),[127] and has repeatedly voted to repeal the ACA.[128] She has described the ACA as a "success tax" on successful businesses,[129] and says that the ACA drives up the costs of health care.[130] Social issues Abortion and reproductive rights In 2024, Ayotte said she supports the current New Hampshire abortion law, which permits abortion on request until 24 weeks of pregnancy.[137] Previously, she said she was pro-life except in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the life of the mother.[138] She said in 2010 that Roe v. Wade should be overturned.[139][140] In 2014, she led a Republican effort to call for a vote on a bill to implement a 20-week nationwide abortion ban.[141] While in the Senate, Ayotte offered legislation to make birth control available over-the-counter without a prescription, which she argued would increase access and allow flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts to be used to purchase it.[142] She voted to shift federal funding from Planned Parenthood to other community health centers that also serve low- and middle-income women and families, but opposed an attempt to shut down the federal government over the issue.[143][144] Ayotte was given a 100% rating by National Right to Life and an 82% by the pro-life Campaign for Working Families.[98] NARAL Pro-Choice America gave her a 15% rating and pro-choice Planned Parenthood gave her a 6% rating.[98] KELLY AYOTTE HAS BEEN ANTI-UNION....
