SaveRGV drops lawsuit against SpaceX’s Boca Chica operationsSaveRGV, one of several fringe activist groups that has been using lawfare to try to shut down SpaceX’s Starship/Superheavy operations in Boca Chica, suddenly announced yesterday that it has dropped a lawsuit against the company that claimed the potable water released in the launchpad deluge system during launches polluted the wetlands there.
Save RGV board member Jim Chapman said they dropped the lawsuit because the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality [TCEQ], the state’s environmental agency, granted SpaceX a permit that “moots” their lawsuit. “We think we’re right,” Chapman said in a phone interview. “We just didn’t feel like [the lawsuit] was going to move in a positive direction for us.”
According to the article at the first link above, SaveRGV and its partner fringe groups have filed a different lawsuit against TCEQ, challenging its decision to issue SpaceX that permit.
When TCEQ issued the permit last week, I wondered if the lawfare of these groups would begin to fade away because their funding is now drying up because of the Trump’s DOGE team effort to shut down the laundering of money illegally to such groups by many agencies in the executive branch. SaveRGV’s decision yesterday, only days after TCEQ’s decision, makes me think my theory might have some merit. It could be it no longer has funds to pay its lawyers for multiple lawsuits, and has decided to focus on one for the time being. Only time will tell.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I think this is more a case of, if SpaceX has a permit to discharge water, a lawsuit about that activity is pretty much dead, SpaceX would be making a motion to dismiss if SaveRGV hadn’t. The actual activists might not care, but the lawyers that have to show up in court probably want to stay on the good side of the judges and not waste their time.
I think Zimmermans Hunch is correct, especially since George Soros was receiving money from USAID just for this purpose. To position Partisan prosecutors in every state possible to release convicts, without even charging them with the crime. while attempting frivolous lawsuits to tie up the courts. his crimes are many and infamous.
“Palumbo noted that “other early activities of Soros’ involvement with USAID include his International Renaissance Foundation partnering with them to support Ukraine’s ‘Orange Revolution,’ the European country he’s ‘invested’ more in than any other. Robert F. Kennedy revealed in an interview with Tucker Carlson last November that USAID also led the more violent Maidan Revolution in 2014 that ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.”

“When Arizona Republican Rep. Eli Crane introduced an amendment to reduce funding for USAID last year, all Democrats and 114 Republicans voted against it.”
I am not a lawyer nor a finance guy.
Are they 501c3? Are there rules about disclosing money sources?
Real question, as I have never looked into those things.
I never liked Greens-they don’t understand infrastructure
