Although Tom Ragsdale’s oil companies owe New Mexico more than $3.5 million for pollution and unpaid fees, the state has recovered only about $50,000.
Drillers across the industry have employed similar tactics in what is known as “the playbook.”

The American Oil Industry’s Playbook, Illustrated: How Drillers Offload Costly Cleanup Onto the Public
Oil executive Tom Ragsdale walked away from his old wells, making the pollution left behind the state of New Mexico’s problem. His tactics, however, are ubiquitous in the industry.

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

On every major policy question, the Trump regime is failing badly. And voters are taking note.

![I wanted to let you know that the Rapid Action team will be taking a holiday break (as is Congress).
We will resume daily emails on Monday, 1/5/26. Enjoy your holidays!
Call Your Senators Protect Funding and Access to Gender Affirming Care
This script is taken from 5calls.org.
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to urge [SEN NAME] to oppose the House-passed bills H.R. 3492, the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, and H.R. 498, the Do No Harm in Medicaid Act. These bills will unnecessarily ban, and even criminalize, health care for transgender Americans. Congress should be working to increase access and lower costs for all Americans, not attack a vulnerable population and block them from life-saving care.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Call Your Representative
The House passed bills yesterday which will deny gender affirming care. Please call so that your Rep knows you thoughts on this
If Democrat:
Hi, my name is (NAME) and I'm a constituent from (CITY, AIP)
I'm calling to thank (REP NAME) for voting to protect funding and access for gender affirming care. I am grateful that you are speaking up for this group of people who are under attack.
I am aware that Speaker Johnson has sent everyone home for the holidays. When you return in January, I know that you will continue to fight for a clean extension of the ACA tax credits.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
If Republican:
Hi, my name is (NAME) and I'm a constituent from (CITY, AIP)
I'm calling to tell (REP NAME) how upset I am that he voted to deny funding and access for gender affirming care. Shame on him for taking this action to harm our neighbors.
I am aware that Speaker Johnson has sent everyone home for the holidays. When you return in January, I expect that you will fight for a clean extension of the ACA tax credits. Failure to do so will harm many of your constituents.
Thank you for your time and consideration.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r6foxcfryyzazfbajthdjo42/bafkreifwgq3y7jcvy6vvyr5eogspeyq5x5rtddc5oaqqkhzhja5wqt2tza@jpeg)

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
