Smith Reveals Meeting with the US Heritage Foundation After Trump Win via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...
Smith met with the Heritage Foundation because she is aligned with them. Treason at work. Her allegiance lies first with herself and then with her MAGA masters.

Morally broken leaders talk of #Pipelines as #NationBuilding instead of burning but it's a disastrous economic bet as well. #CostOfClimate needs to be demonstrated the and time again. #BigOil will continue to just take the money and run #ClimateChange prospect.org/environment/...

Climate-fueled disasters cost America almost a trillion dollars over the last year, far more than economists predicted.

It goes beyond genocide and sociocide to unicide— which is apparently the name of a disinfectant— threatening to make Earth into Venus II.

All for short-term personal profit, at that.
