I have not done any real investigative journalism in a while and I think you'll LOVE this! open.substack.com/pub/jenniwhite…

@Abbreviated @GovStitt Correct, but the appointment is nonetheless irresponsible and wholly inappropriate. In the months he's in, will he get his bill for pipeline placement with FERC as the only overseer of the process?

@ROPEreport @GovStitt Appointee can’t run.

Please read this whole thread. Apparently @GovStitt has yet again appointed one of his friends and campaign donors to a prime government office. Is everyone finally able to see that our governor believes that government is a business meant to be run by the rich and powerful while we grunts are just meant to pay for it all while they enrich themselves on our tax dollars?

@RebukeWoke @gal220reagan @GovStitt That seems entirely possible.

It’s about DATA CENTERS!! Trump's team has already coordinated with Stitt on the appointment (including the Mar-a-Lago meeting), and while past donations (e.g., to Kinzinger) have drawn MAGA criticism, Armstrong's track record on delivering reliable, scalable energy for AI could outweigh that in a short-term Senate role. His insights on permitting reform, pipeline expansions, and behind-the-meter power would inform policy that accelerates U.S. AI scaling—directly advancing Trump's goal of staying ahead of China. Armstrong is executive chairman of Williams Companies (the Tulsa-based natural gas infrastructure company. Williams has committed billions to behind-the-meter facilities, viewing AI/data center demand as a massive growth driver for natural gas. There are already on-site (or more precisely, behind-the-meter/on-site) natural gas-fired power plants being built or planned by Williams Companies specifically to supply power directly to data centers. These are part of their "Power Innovation" strategy, led by Alan Armstrong, to address the massive electricity demand from AI and data centers without relying on overloaded public grids.

Why judges require scrutiny before we vote for them!

@Hewittreform Great job Jonathan!

So Alan Armstrong currently has millions if not billions of dollars in federal bids and grant money. Now nominated to the Senate. It seems like Gov. Stitt has a proclivity to giving his friends positions to decide how much of YOUR money they get. #oklahoma #senate #stitt

No, Tired, I don't bitch about that. In fact, I bitch about the opposite - CEOs of companies and titans in business who can donate thousands to campaigns when there are a ton of us smart, but not politically connected people who never get chosen for anything. Could it be because we call out FOOLISH AND SELFSERVING political appointments like this one? More than likely and yet, we understand and eschew the practice of conflict of interest and that government isn't to be run for and by the friends of the elected. This appointment shows exactly why people know government is broken.

@Hewittreform You fools bitch about people saying they have no experience or are “uneducated”. Then our Governor picks someone who is an accomplished businessman who started out like the rest of us, worked hard and made something of himself then you all bitch about that too. Trump approves.

Dee Sage talks about how Oklahoma's 16.5 billion dollar TANF block grant evades oversight.

Dee Sage talks with ROPE Report about how private for profit organizations are funneling SNAP and TANF funds.

@JakeMerrick4Gov talking about how just talking about business, without talking party, can interject some truth into conversations.

Anatomy of a push card! Why SB743 was a bad bill!

Adam Holley talking about representing himself at the Supreme Court!
