Hey, @EPAScottPruitt – we hear you’re claiming not to be involved with decisions about your extravagant, first-class travel. Well then, let's talk about what you're definitely involved in! THREAD! wapo.st/2EtP2jy#SpendyScott
Quick refresher @EPAScottPruitt: you run the @EPA, whose mission is to “protect human health and the environment.” Just keep that in mind while we discuss your decisions as administrator. #PollutingPruitt
You decided to repeal lifesaving health protections to try to prop up your polluter cronies by gutting the #CleanPowerPlan - even though the vast majority of Americans support it. #ProtectCPPreut.rs/2EqamSX
You decided to blatantly reject settled science by scrubbing climate data from the @EPA website. #SpendyScottbit.ly/2E7s8gW
You decided to spend nearly $9,000 on a trip to Morrocco to improperly advocate for the dirty energy industry. Being an ambassador for corporate polluters is NOT your job. #SpendyScottwapo.st/2sqJu3K
You decided to put the the health of children and farmworkers at risk by refusing to ban cancer-causing pesticides after you met with Dow Chemical’s CEO. #SpendyScottbit.ly/2DMH6tn
– your decisions have wasted taxpayer dollars and put our families in danger. Period. This is more than flights – this is proof that you should resign. #SpendyScott

Sierra Club statement: Trump Administration Considers Forcing Taxpayers to Bail Out Coal and Nuclear Executives sc.org/2JneIQl
"This is an outrageous ploy to force American taxpayers to bail out coal and nuclear executives who have made bad decisions by investing in dirty and dangerous energy resources..." - @maryannehitt
"Trump will clearly try anything to help millionaire coal and nuclear executives, even demanding American families fork over big bucks to prop up their uneconomic, failing power plants."
REALITY CHECK: Pruitt has spent $3 MILLION on security and travel in just over a year. His security detail is three times as large as his predecessors, yet the AP found no court records of cases of anyone being arrested for threatening Pruitt. #BootPruitt apnews.com/e2fdc3fe88be43…
REALITY CHECK: Here's where you could stay in DC for the rent Pruitt was paying his fossil fuel lobbyist landlord (though his rent was late, so the landlord changed the locks). Spoiler alert; These aren't super fancy like Pruitt's luxury condo #BootPruitt washingtonian.com/2018/04/04/sco…
REALITY CHECK: While Pruitt is a dangerous threat to the health of our families, his sloppy and careless legal work is undermining his ability to even implement his extreme pro-polluter agenda in several key cases. #BootPruittnytimes.com/2018/04/07/cli…
