Part of Dick Cheney’s legacy is the #RFS. GWB had Cheney chair an Energy Task Force that vetted various policies for inclusion in the Administration’s energy priorities. The Task Force endorsed a Renewable Fuels Standard. The discussions were “secret”. The result was law! RIP

Among the folks I will be toasting tonight in celebration of 20 years of the #RFS is Red Cavaney, former CEO of the API. Red understood the threat from the continued reliance on the water-contaminating MTBE and sought solutions. Ethanol & the RFS provided one! Cheers, Red!

20 years ago today, I celebrated the signing of the RFS into law with a hoot and a holler in the middle of Lake Winnipausaukee, NH where the family was gathered for our annual vacation. So I’m here again today - celebrating a win for farmers and consumers! The #RFS has aged well.

@NormOrnstein Sugar is sugar. I can’t wait to see what corn farmers think about this one! 😂

Apparently, so is lying
Sen. Marsha Blackburn@MarshaBlackburn
Winning has never tasted better.

I lost a good friend yesterday and so did agriculture. Mike Perrine started me on my farm broadcasting career path in the mid 1970's. Over the years he helped me and many other broadcasters as well. I will always be grateful for our friendship. He will certainly be missed.

President Jimmy Carter was the driving force behind the Energy Policy Act of 1978, which included a tax incentive for the production and use of fuel #ethanol. It jumped started the industry that today lowers consumer costs, reduces emissions, and enhances energy security. RIP

@NormOrnstein The ethanol “boondoggle”?! 😂. C’mon, you gotta get out more. Come with me to Iowa and you’ll see understand!
English
I assume you’re starting with farm subsidies for Iowa farmers, including the ethanol boondoggle

I am partnering with the Trump admin and @DOGE to disrupt the business-as-usual bureaucracy in Washington. My $2 trillion blueprint is an instruction manual to drain the swamp, eliminate waste, and get the federal government back on track. #MakeEmSqueal

Proposed @AirResources #LCFS regulations are “completely disconnected from reality and, if finalized, will very likely result in shortages of low-carbon fuels and higher fuel prices for California consumers.”

@StuPolitics I’m fine without those guys, so long as we don’t lose @StuPolitics !

When I see some of the current reporters, analysts, and anchors on TV, I am reminded how much I miss Bill Schneider, Frank Sesno and Charlie Cook (among others). Boy, those were the good old days.

@NormOrnstein You’re a good man, Prof! I knew that in the 70’s as a student of yours. It’s become only more clear in the years since. You honor your son. You honor your faith. The work of your entire life honors our democratic traditions. I pray your birthday wish is granted.

So today is my birthday. At my age, we don’t celebrate, we commemorate. But for me, as with anyone who has suffered a grievous loss, all of the holidays and commemorative days are more painful than joyous. They bring up the good times, when our family was whole. For me it’s particularly true because my birthday comes right around the time of the High Holidays—not to mention, going forward, October 7. The liturgy on Yom Kippur, written in the book who is to live, and who is to die, is too much to take. I do have one birthday wish. For anyone who follows me, you know what it is.

The number of Republicans I knew, liked, worked with who have proven to have no spine and no moral core is truly unsettling.

Quite a Yankees comeback tonight. Down 4-0, the Yanks scored 5 in the bottom of the 7th. A Judge grand slam did not hurt. Final score: Yankees 5, Red Sox 4.

@fuelinggood @JohnDeere At least they “respectfully” declined!

For those following my @JohnDeere tractor fire… this letter appeared in my mailbox this weekend. JD has determined that a lightly-used clean tractor with 33 hours self combusting is not a failure of anything green. Act of God? I am so lucky. It is a really good thing I already have my new tractor, it would have changed color. Fun having a tractor you can’t park inside.

RFA's board of directors is meeting this week in Washington, with scores of visits on tap with key lawmakers and administration officials.

@NormOrnstein The genius who invented auto correct needs to burn in hello!
English
Try reading my response. I wrote heir, autocorrect changed it to air.
Oakbrow Farwalker@OakbrowF
@NormOrnstein You're an "Emeritus Scholar", an editor, and have a podcast called "Words Matter", yet you do not know the difference between "heir" and "air"? That's a double dumbass on you.

@COUNTRY_F1RST @AdamKinzinger Hey, Congressman … if you can, DM me your #. I need to chat with you about something …. Your old friend

@StuPolitics Just in case you’ve been multi-tasking and didn’t see …. The Red Sox won 7-0! Are you hearing footsteps? 😂.
