Senate Republicans have quietly inserted provisions in President Trump’s domestic policy bill that would not only end federal support for wind and solar energy but would impose an entirely new tax on future projects, a move that industry groups say could devastate the renewable power industry.

G.O.P. Bill Adds Surprise Tax That Could Cripple Wind and Solar Power

Wind and solar companies were already bracing for Congress to end federal subsidies. But the Senate bill goes even further and penalizes those industries.

You demean yourself with this comment.

Please stop saying “this is not who we are”. It’s an empty phrase and not accurate. American history is full of political violence.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

We have been warned that violent MAGA agitators would embed among peaceful protesters. I think this is most likely cause of violence.

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

The Trump administration has agreed to pay the family of Ashli Babbitt.

American taxpayers will now be forced to give likely millions of dollars to the family of a January 6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol.

Trump administration reaches settlement with family of Ashli Babbitt, rioter killed on Jan. 6, 2021

Ashli Babbitt's death was a rallying point for Trump loyalists and Capitol rioters who alleged police used unnecessary force in stopping the mob on Jan. 6.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

When one of these especially egregious actions is perpetuated by Trump admin, one must concurrently investigate: WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO DISTRACT US FROM?

If you still order from Amazon, you probably noticed the bump in prices.

Folks are starting to see the proof in their own lives. Trump’s tariffs aren’t “making China pay”—they’re making us pay.

Please start talking about HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE. Out here, the American people are building a Resistance Movement in our streets. We need our Congress Reps to back us with a plan to hold people in this administration who have broken laws accountable when we take them down.
