AN 12 24

Politico legal correspondent Kyle Cheney reported Wednesday that Russell Taylor — who invited "fighters" to help him storm the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election — will be attending President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025. Former Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) wrote a letter to U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth saying that "three current members of the Utah congressional delegation" were co-signing his invitation of Taylor to the inauguration, given that the terms of Taylor's probation ban him from traveling to Washington, D.C. without an invitation. He did not mention which three of Utah's six representatives were in support of Taylor's attendance.

“He is [a] caring father and reveres his family, his faith, and his love of our Country as his highest priority in life,” Stewart wrote. “I am honored to extend this invitation for him to attend the Inauguration as my guest.”

Some of the "fighters" Taylor asked to help assault the Capitol were "Three Percenter" militia members. The Southern Poverty Law Center has deemed Three Percenters as an "antigovernment general militia movement" whose leaders have specifically targeted Muslims and immigrants. Cheney wrote that on January 6, Taylor "surged to the U.S. Capitol with a knife and a tactical vest." And the day before, he delivered a speech threatening violence unless the election was overturned in Trump's favor.

"In these streets, we will fight and we will bleed before we allow our freedom to be taken from us," Taylor said according to court documents. "We will not return to our peaceful way of life until this election is made right."

Trump has promised that he would pardon scores of January 6 participants shortly after taking the oath of office next month. Some defendants have cited Trump's promise of pardons to argue that their proceedings should be delayed until after the inauguration, given that a presidential pardon would negate their prosecutions by President Joe Biden's Department of Justice.

According to Cheney, members of the U.S. Capitol Police Department will be tasked with protecting Taylor during his impending visit to Washington. This makes it a historic first that someone who participated in a deadly attack on the Capitol — that led to the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and the injuries of 174 other Capitol police officers — will be protected by that same department. Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn called it a "slap in the face" for Trump to consider pardoning people who attacked police.

In a 2023 post to her Substack newsletter, journalist Sarah Kendzior presciently warned that Biden's presidency would be a mere "placeholder" between "aspiring American autocracy" and a more "entrenched" form of authoritarianism if he failed to thoroughly prosecute both the participants and architects of the 2021 insurrection.

"Under Biden, the United States became the first country to face an attempted coup and not only fail to punish the coup plotters but allow them to hold office and make laws," she wrote. "There is no parallel in world history. Even Hitler had a prison interlude between his putsch and his presidency."

3 wolf bills

H.R.1985 - Pacific Northwest Gray Wolf Management Act of 2015

Rep. Newhouse, Dan [R-WA-4] (Introduced 04/23/2015)

==

Over objections from the White House and many science and environmental groups, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives this week approved two bills that would change how the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) obtains and uses scientific data and advice. The bills aren’t likely to become law this year, but they are fueling an intense political battle that is likely to resurface when the new Congress convenes in January.

Proponents of the bills, which the House passed almost entirely with GOP votes, say they would increase transparency in how EPA uses data to justify its regulations and result in better, more balanced scientific advice for the agency. “EPA has an extensive track record of twisting the science to justify their actions,” and so reform is needed, said Representative Lamar Smith (R–TX), head of the House science committee, in a statement supporting one of the bills.

But opponents say the legislation would do more harm than good. “These bills are the culmination of one of the most anti-science and anti-health campaigns I’ve witnessed in my 22 years as a member of Congress,” said Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson (D–TX), top Democrat on the House science committee, in a statement.

White House officials say they would recommend that President Barack Obama veto the legislation if it reaches his desk. That’s unlikely in the current Congress, which ends next month, given that Democrats still hold a majority in the Senate. That makes the votes largely symbolic. But observers say they represent another salvo in a long-standing battle over therelease of scientific data that underlines key regulations—and a sign of battles to come once Republicans assume control of both chambers of Congress in January.

One bill, approved 18 November on a mostly party-line 229 to 191 vote, would overhaul rules regarding the membership and meetings of EPA’s Science Advisory Board (SAB). That federally chartered body of scientists, economists, and other scholars reviews agency risk assessments and scientific documents and advises the agency on other matters. The EPA Science Advisory Board Reform Act (H.R. 1422), sponsored by Representative Chris Stewart (R–UT), would require the agency to make SAB’s membership “fairly balanced,” add more public comment opportunities, require more acknowledgment of dissenting panelists’ views, bar panelists from discussing their own research, and limit nonscientific advice from the panel. “Ensuring that the [board] is balanced and transparent will help instill more confidence in the EPA’s decision making process,” Stewart said in a statement.

The bill would seek to balance membership by setting a quota for state, local, and tribal government officials on SAB panels and clarify that industry experts aren’t barred from membership as long as their potential conflicts of interest are disclosed.

The second bill, the Secret Science Reform Act (H.R. 4012), would require that the data from any study that EPA draws upon to inform its regulations, risk assessments, and guidance documents be “reproducible” and released publicly as long as the law doesn’t forbid it. “If you’re going to make public policy, do it by public data,” said Representative David Schweikert (R–AZ), the bill’s lead sponsor and chair of the House science committee’s environmental subpanel, on the House floor on 19 November. The House approved the measure on a mostly party-line 237 to 190 vote.

Trade associations in key industries—from chemicals to oil to natural gas—support the bills, saying that boosting data transparency and changing SAB’s composition would result in more scientifically sound, and thus publicly trusted, regulations.

Opponents, however, say the bills are thinly disguised efforts to make EPA’s job more difficult.

For instance, the EPA SAB reform act could “turn conflict of interest on its head” by opening the door to more representation from industry scientists, says Andrew Rosenberg, director of the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a science and environmental advocacy group, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A White House statementargues that the new membership requirements “could preclude the nomination of scientists with significant expertise in their fields.”

Public health groups, scientists, and environmental groups warned in a letter to lawmakersthat the bill would grind SAB to a halt by requiring an “endless loop” of public comment and responses from the panel to almost every comment. “At best, the SAB will be reduced to busy work. At worst, the SAB’s assessments will address the concerns of corporations, not the desires of citizens for science-informed regulation that protects public health,” the letter argues.

The “secret science” bill could drastically cut the number of studies that EPA would be allowed to use in developing rules, the advocates’ letter argues. By requiring “reproducible” data, the bill “seems to adopt a very narrow view of scientific information solely based on laboratory experiments,” it argues, noting that many studies that EPA traditionally relies on involve modeling or analyzing real-world health data, which can be hard to replicate.

H.R. 4012 could also rule out EPA’s use of other studies involving confidential health information, which can be important, critics say. And the bill’s requirements “could be used to prevent EPA from finalizing regulations until legal challenges about the legitimate withholding of certain scientific and technical information are resolved,” a White House statement warns.

Rosenberg argues that the real purpose of H.R. 4012 is to enable EPA critics to obtain data and turn it over to their own analysts, in order to pick apart studies they don’t like and produce findings more favorable to their views. “The problem they’re trying to fix is, they don’t like the answer” provided by certain studies, he says.

Both bills, or similar versions, are likely to resurface in the new Congress.

Chris Stewart, climate change science denier

Chris Stewart, a republican from Utah, was recently appointed Chair of the House subcommittee on Environment.

This means that Congressman Stewart now has dominion over the EPA, climate change research, and "all activities related to climate." According to the House Science Committees website (of which Stewart's subcommitee is a part), the chair of the Environment subcommittee oversees:

"all matters relating to environmental research; Environmental Protection Agency research and development; environmental standards; climate change research and development; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including all activities related to weather, weather services, climate, the atmosphere, marine fisheries, and oceanic research;…"

Unfortunately for the EPA, NOAA, and anyone worried about climate change, Chris Stewart is a climate science denier. Mr. Stewart believes there is "insufficient science" to determine if climate change is caused by humans. He believes this in spite of the fact that the EPA, NOAA, and all experts in the field (which he now oversees), disagrees with him. 

For the record, Chris Stewart has no advanced degrees in science. However, before running for congress he was owner and CEO of Shipley Group, a company that trains government workers on environmental issues. Shipley Group actually runs a training on climate change science, and according to the Shipley Group website "Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to understand basic climate change science." Clearly Mr. Stewart has never taken his company's training.

Ties to Fossil Fuels

Though Stewart seems to ignore climate change science (while his company profits by teaching it), he does not ignore the fossil fuel industry. In fact he is quite sympathetic to the plight of oil and gas companies. His campaign websiteclaims:

"I am the CEO of a company that works extensively with independent energy producers. I understand how difficult it is to get a drilling permit on federal lands. It is painfully slow, incoherently arbitrary, and always expensive."

Stewart's "extensive" knowledge of the fossil fuel industry is not a surprise.  His brother, Tim Stewart is a lobbyist for American Capitol Group, a washington DC lobbying firm. American capitol Group lobbies for fossil Fuel interests, like the Western Energy Alliance, a group mainly comprised offracking and oil companies. Tim Stewart also lobbied for EnergyNorthAmerica, a company he cofounded to lobby for the Fossil Fuel Industry. One EnergyNorthAmerica slide presentation reads:

"The fact that fossil energy and mining are viewed by political "elites" with disfavor, a view driven by acolytes of radical environmentalism, has resulted in damaging laws and regulation and general neglect"

Unsurprisingly, the fossil fuel industry does not ignore Chris Stewart either. One of Stewart's books (which were published and praised by Glenn Beck), is recommended reading at Koch Industries.  Stewart received the maximum possible campaign contribution from ExxonMobil and Koch Industries during his last campaign. He also received considerable support from several Koch and Exxon funded SuperPACs. All told, he received more funding from dirty energy companies and their superPACs than any other single source.

QUOTES

"I’m not as convinced as a lot of people are that man-made climate change is the threat they think it is."

According to a spokesman from Representative Stewart's office:

"there is not sufficient science to say that the release of greenhouse gasses from human causes is affecting the climate"

"I am the CEO of a company that works extensively with independent energy producers."

"De-federalizing public lands is vital to a coherent energy strategy. It will lead to greater energy independence, an issue that is critical to our national security"

"At critical times in our history...we literally had miracles where God intervened to save us."

“Stimulus spending, bailouts for Wall Street, local education, Amtrak, farm subsidies, medical research,alternative-energy development, transportation programs … the list of federal spending programs that can be cut goes on and on,”

"From time to time, we get a certified nutcase, and Chris Stewart truly is a certified nutcase." - Former Utah Republican, from Mother Jones Magazine
