Trump is making electricity more expensive–not less.
That’s because of something we’ll call the “Trump Tax”—a combination of tariffs, canceled clean energy investments, and cuts to energy affordability programs.
Now his “big, beautiful bill” could make it even worse. 🧵

Trump promised to cut your energy bills in half. Instead they've gone up 13% since he took office.
He is single-handedly making this crisis worse.

Until there’s more electricity being generated to meet demand, your energy bill will stay high. The fastest way to meet demand is with clean energy, but Trump is killing clean energy projects and all the jobs that come with them.

Trump’s assault on clean energy sinks permitting reform. There is no path to a bill if this administration refuses to follow the law.
Trump will own higher electricity prices, aging infrastructure, & loss of U.S. competitiveness.

Sen. Heinrich: The Continental Divide Trail is part of the Triple Crown of Hiking and brings visitors from around the world to climb the spine of the North American continent. For many New Mexicans, it's their local trail where they walk their dog or spend time with their families.

The Trump energy crisis is self-inflicted.
The projects canceled or delayed since Trump’s election would have produced enough electricity to power over 13 million homes.
Now, factories are closing, utility costs are skyrocketing, and 165,000+ jobs are lost.

"If national Republicans continue to make public lands a target of budget cuts, without understanding the unique politics of them in Western states like Montana, some suggest the party will likely have to face the wrath of these voters."

Sen. Heinrich: The public lands recreation economy contributes over $350 million a day–a testament to how deeply Americans value time outdoors and their history. Unfortunately, directives from this administration are a threat to the parks that Americans know and love. youtube.com/shorts/7EwMO...

Senator Gallego's energy strategy is rooted in what's most important for working families: affordability, reliability, and innovation.
Growing up poor, I know what it’s like to play ‘utility roulette’ – which bill will have to get skipped this month? What will we have to go without? Those are questions too many families are asking these days. But I've got a plan.

There is no better idea than the National Park Service, and it should be the premier park agency in the world. I’ll keep fighting to protect the parks and the people who take care of them.

Trump denied disaster aid to rebuild power lines in rural Michigan after a devastating ice storm.
Now, residents could end up picking up the tab...to the tune of at least $4,500 per household.

200+ clean energy jobs folks can build their families around. Cutting-edge innovation. Keeping New Mexico competitive. Kairos is an example of workers in our state leading the way as we grow good-paying jobs and strengthen our clean energy leadership.

For decades, Republicans have been slow walking progress on clean energy. That isn’t free. Home insurance premiums are through the roof because of their inaction.
Rising Home Insurance Premiums Are Eating Into Home Values in Disaster-Prone Areas
Changes in the insurance market have started to affect home prices in the most disaster-prone areas, new research finds, pushing some homeowners’ finances to the breaking point.

The revenue generated by public lands is comparable to hosting 8 Super Bowls per month. They’re more than just places to recreate–they boost our national and local economies and support almost a million jobs. Cutting resources hurts more than recreationists, it hurts communities.

No real consultation. A one-week comment period. And now Trump is rushing to lift Western Arctic protections — railroading Tribes, ignoring community input, skipping NEPA reviews, and putting wealthy interests over everyday Americans.

Our National Parks are our “crown jewels.” Just one expert was plugging abandoned mines that leak methane and oil into these lands — until this administration let him go.
Their reckless cuts endanger Americans and create a new public health crisis.
