On December 5, right-wing culture warriors instructed lawmakers attending the
American Legislative Exchange Council’s ( #ALEC )
"States and Nation Policy Summit"
in Washington, D.C.,
on the steps their states can take to upend policies and practices
designed to help address the unfolding climate emergency and diversify workforces.

CRC Advisors Senior Vice President 💥#Mike #Thompson 💥led the workshop
“Battles Won, War Continues:
The Left, ESG and State Policy,”
according to materials obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD).

In 2020, #Greg #Mueller and #Leonard #Leo, who played an integral role in Trump’s effort to pack the federal judiciary with right-wing judges,
founded CRC Advisors
— the group Thompson represents
— to “funnel big money and expertise across the conservative movement.”

Although not as well known as Leo,
Thompson, a member of ALEC’s private sector advisory board,
is an important Christian Right operative
who plays multiple leadership roles in campaigns and communications.

Thompson’s public relations skills were on full display in his remarks
demonizing the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ),
“a global coalition of leading financial institutions committed to accelerating the decarbonization of the economy”
in order to preserve the planet from further destruction.

Thompson argued that large asset managers and banks that participate in GFANZ
— including BlackRock, State Street, Wells Fargo, City Bank, Morgan Stanley, Chase, and Bank of America
— are breaking antitrust law by utilizing sustainable investment strategies.

Thompson provided an example of a lawsuit against BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard
filed last month by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and 10 other Republican attorneys general
— all active members of the fossil-fuel backed "Republican Attorneys General Association" ( #RAGA )
— alleging that the three companies violated antitrust law in colluding to raise electricity prices through their investments.

“The states have filed an antitrust lawsuit and they detail in it all of the evidence where those three companies were colluding to keep coal in the ground and from coming to market,
thus, driving up the price and violating antitrust law,”
Thompson told workshop participants.

The PR professional neglected to mention that CRC Advisors is a paid consultant of RAGA
or that his boss Leo’s "Concord Fund" has funneled $3.5 million to the pay-to-play group this year
and $20.3 million since the organization was founded in 2014, according to CMD’s analysis of its tax filings.

#Sal #Nuzzo, the first workshop presenter, is executive director of
"Consumers Defense",
the sister organization of Consumers’ Research,
which is a vice-chairman sponsor of ALEC’s summit and a driver of the right-wing’s manufactured crisis around “woke” capitalism.

Nuzzo argued that reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 through renewable energy production would force Americans to cede
“two-thirds of [the] U.S. electricity generation supply chain to the Communist Party of China.”

He didn’t cite a source for this claim, nor does the group’s website provide any research substantiating it.

Nuzzo also attempted to raise the alarm with lawmakers from states that depend on agriculture
by claiming that the Left has “shifted their attacks and tactics into the agriculture space”
in response to anti-ESG legislation passed over the last three legislative cycles
and has moved to prevent farmers from getting access to loans.

“The [Left’s] coordinated attacks on agriculture are occurring at all levels.
They’re at the producer level.
They’re at the distributor level.
They’re at the consumption and sales level,”
Nuzzo claimed.

“If farming interests cannot get financing, [farmers] cannot operate.”

#Paul #Watkins, founder of "Fusion Law" and both a senior legal fellow at "Consumers’ Research"
and a special counsel with "Heritage Action", made a number of claims in his presentation
based on his belief that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are discriminatory,
and therefore illegal.

As a member of ALEC’s "Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force", he is involved in drafting and voting on most of the group’s pro-fossil fuel policies alongside lawmakers and polluting industry lobbyists.

#RAGA had an arm called the "Rule of Law Defense Fund,"
deployed
to do #robocalls, to
👉urge people to go to the Jan. 6 events that Trump said would be wild, to go there on the day that Congress was supposed to be certifying the election, as he was mounting this intimidation campaign against [Vice President Mike] Pence, unleashing his followers to assail him.

And this is in the context of weeks of efforts by Trump and his lawyers and advisers --- trying to help him execute a coup.

You had the #state #attorneys #general actively involved in some of this litigation to try ⭐️to stop other states from certifying the election. ⭐️

The group itself through this "Rule of Law Defense Fund" was actively involved in ♦️peddling the big lucrative lie about the election ♦️to push people to go to the mall on Jan. 6.

There was sort of shock and horror that a group of state attorneys general would be involved in trying to aid the precursor events to the violent insurrection at the Capitol.

And big companies 👍said they weren’t going to fund RAGA. 👍

And so 🔸for a moment there,🔸 there was a bright light shining on RAGA and on the events around the capital and these AGs.

💥But then months later, some of those companies came back to fund RAGA.

The #accountability light was ON and then OFF for the companies that were funding RAGA in 2020.

In addition to #Leonard #Leo’s network, #Koch Industries, #Comcast, #Walmart, #Home Depot, #Amazon, #TikTok, 1-800-CONTACTS, #Chevron, the #NRA, #Monsanto, #Facebook, Fox, #Uber, #Coca-#Cola, #Exxon, and #Google were some of the main funders of it.

Of course it didn’t last.

Leonard Leo continues to be the biggest subsidizer of RAGA through the money that is coming through his network,

but it’s also the case that they’re facing 🔹no consequences,
basically allowing them to just get away with it. 🔹

There’s been💥 no consequence for them, and the Rule of Law Defense Fund still exists. 💥

RAGA still exists, and many of these attorneys general have been actively involved in other efforts that make it
🔥harder for Americans to vote, and they may well be involved this fall in
🔥a repeat of 2020 in terms of their efforts to protect Trump at any cost.

#RAGA #Leonard #Leo #Heidi #Przybyla #amicus #briefs #Murthy #Missouri #abortion #EMTALA

Republican attorneys general decided to create their own attorney general association to pursue their own agenda and actually raise money from industries that they were supposed to regulate in order to fund this operation, which was designed to fuel their campaigns.

The history is deeply embedded in antipathy to public regulation, government regulation of industries that have literally killed thousands, if not millions, of Americans in the form of the tobacco industry, for example.

#RAGA #Leonard #Leo #Heidi #Przybyla #amicus #briefs #Murthy #Missouri #abortion #EMTALA

One of the greatest destabilizers of democracy that almost nobody knows about is a little tax-exempt group called #RAGA,
which stands for the "Republican Attorneys General Association".
It represents more than half the states’ chief legal officers, and its members are on the front lines of pretty much every single important legal movement in the country.
Its moves and funding are directed, of course, by everyone’s favorite little Monopoly Man Money Guy, #Leonard #Leo.
Yet the group receives almost no sustained public attention or accountability.
Recently, #Heidi #Przybyla at Politico reported on how RAGA tried to run a D.C. official who had dared investigate Leo out of office.
🔥 Once you actually train your focus on RAGA, they tend to pop up everywhere, over and over again. 🔥
👉The group was behind #amicus #briefs in the outrageous social media case #Murthy v. #Missouri.
👉They are driving the efforts to get around federal emergency treatment laws for #abortion in the forthcoming #EMTALA cases.
👉They’re pushing for Texas-style S.B. 4 legislation in several states.
And that doesn’t even get you to the whole raft of RAGA interventions when it came to trying to🔸 overturn the results of the 2020 election.🔸

Most corrupt Oval-Office occupant in U.S. history congratulates most corrupt attorney general in Texas's history for now being partners in lawless acquittal from impeachment.

While Paxton still has one more to go to be on par with his Mar-A-Loco master...😎

Quite expectably corrupt "Republican" Texan senators acquit "the most corrupt attorney general in Texas history on 16 charges of bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of office."
Shared values oblige — be it even to obstruct justice.

"No, the senators weren’t all that concerned about Paxton’s misdeeds. What they are concerned about are a couple of West Texas oil billionaires, Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks, who fund many of their campaigns. Christian nationalists dedicated to destroying the Texas public school system, among other far-right aims, they’ll do what it takes to accomplish their mission. Paxton is their point man."
