How well-developed is this telekinetic power? Could I, for example:

• Continuously turn the air 10M around them into a horrific miasma of farts by doing organic chemistry with nearby carbon and sulfur sources?
• Always make it much too uncomfortably warm near them by raising the local temperature?
• Condense the moisture out of it so that the politicians are always dripping wet?

I think in absence of doing real harm to them the best bet is to make them and everyone within 10M of them as extremely uncomfortable as possible.

Nah nothing fun, just tanks of propellant.
