‘Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard’: Republicans amp up their resistance to Trump’s Greenland push - POLITICO

"If there was any sort of action that looked like the goal was actually landing in Greenland and doing an illegal taking … there'd be sufficient numbers here to pass a war powers resolution and withstand a veto," Tillis said. 

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) went further, predicting that it would lead to impeachment and calling Trump's Greenland obsession "the dumbest thing I've ever heard."…

Trump considers punishing countries with tariffs if they don't back U.S. takeover of Greenland | PBS News

Murkowski emphasized the role of Congress in spending and in conveying messages from constituents. 

 "I think it is important to underscore that when you ask the American people whether or not they think it is a good idea for the United States to acquire Greenland, the vast majority, some 75%, will say, we do not think that that is a good idea," she said. 

Along with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, Murkowski has introduced bipartisan legislation that would prohibit the use of U.S. Defense or State department funds to annex or take control of Greenland or the sovereign territory of any NATO member state without that ally's consent or authorization from the North Atlantic Council...

Meet the Republicans who killed solar subsidies — after using them - POLITICO

The law was a double-whammy for the solar industry. It speeds up the phase-out of both the rooftop solar subsidy tapped by Calvert, Curtis and Massie as well as another credit relied on by project developers to cut the price of leased panels. At the same time, it boosted an oil subsidy created in the early 1900s and included other provisions to increase the production of fossil fuels that are primarily responsible for global warming. 

"There has been a push, as you know, for a long while to get rid of those tax credits," said Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, whose Capitol Hill rowhouse roof has been layered with solar panels for about a decade. "And then when you had Trump come into office, he made it very clear that this was not something that he was going to continue supporting."…
