  1. Billionaire #KelcyWarren invests in #pipelines — and #Trump

    The #EnergyTransfer boss’ political strategy can yield big returns.

    By Mike Soraghan | 09/05/2024 06:41 AM EDT

    "Kelcy Warren is good at getting a return on his investments.

    "The #billionaire pipeline mogul goes big and moves fast — even if it sometimes looks bad from the outside.

    "That’s how his company, Energy Transfer, built the #DakotaAccess oil pipeline in spite of bitter #TribalProtests. And that’s how the company made $2.4 billion from buying and selling #NaturalGas during the deadly #TexasBlackouts in 2021.

    "This year, he’s invested $5 million in the campaign to elect former President #DonaldTrump to another term in the White House. The potential return on investment is high."

    « Officiellement, Amy Bah n'est pas investie par le Front Populaire, en revanche, dans les coulisses, elle semble recevoir beaucoup de soutien : "Je soutiens le programme du "Nouveau Front Populaire" et je porte toutes les valeurs de gauche", précise la juriste sur le réseau social X. »

  4. CW: Investitures pour les élections législatives

    "Chers camarades de la France Insoumise, purger les gens qui ne sont pas des lignards mais garder Quatennens, ça dit beaucoup de vos méthodes et de votre rapport
    1) au féminisme
    2) aux désaccords."
    … a écrit sur X, il y a 11 heures, Marie-Charlotte Garin, candidate à #Lyon #693e #69_C3 #69C3

    "Je ne vois pas pourquoi nous ne soutiendriions pas des député·es qui sont des sortant·es", a dit Marine Tondelier (pour #LesEcologistes, aux "Quatre Vérités", sur France 2). "Quand on a discuté avec tout le monde, il a toujours été clair que tous les député·es sortant·es de nos forces politiques respectives seraient soutenu·es par le Front populaire, hormis des cas très précis parce qu'il y aurait eu des VSS [violences sexistes et sexuelles] ou des affaires judiciaires. Pour le coup, La France insoumise fait l'inverse."

  7. With electoral bonds decision, SC makes amends

    SC has managed to retrieve some of the ground it had steadily ceded to the Executive. It remains to be seen, if, on this decision and in cases in the future, it can stay the course. Christophe Jaffrelot writes.

  9. When asked to get electoral bond data, SBI limps before SC, but bolts for government

    SBI has asked the Supreme Court time till June 30 to provide details of electoral bonds. While SBI moves sluggishly in disclosing the names of those who played secret santas to political parties saying it is a laborious task, the bank has in the past displayed stunning agility in fulfilling similar government inquiries.

  11. Election Commission Has no Comments on Landmark Verdict on Electoral Bonds, How it Changed its Stance

    From calling it “retrograde step” to backing the opaque funding instrument, the ECI has come a long way from warning the Modi government that electoral bonds might even "lead to increased use of black money for political funding through shell companies".

  13. Rahul Yatra: Congress’s political strategy faces too many constraints for a successful execution

    Social justice for vulnerable groups is the ideological plank and a focus on tribal, OBC and Dalit voters is the electoral strategy underpinning the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Pulling it off for the 2024 Lok Sabha election looks a tall order. Asim Ali writes.
