Trump and Republican politicians promised to lower costs. Instead, electric bills are up 12% this year. Why? Their “Big Beautiful Bill” killed new clean energy projects and policies that kept energy prices down.

Killing the fuel-efficiency standards is a lose-lose-lose situation: losing out on $84B in total savings, losing out on 50.4 miles per gallon in fuel efficiency by 2031, & losing out to our foreign competitors who are rapidly innovating in more efficient vehicle technologies.
Once again, President Trump and Republicans are choosing to boost profits for oil & gas CEOs, rather than bring down costs for the average American. [1/3]
Trump to roll back Biden-era vehicle fuel efficiency rules: White House official

DOD has committed to an investigation and remediation process of PFAS at hundreds of military installations — but now has quietly revised its schedule. We’re demanding transparency.

Trump is selling out Floridians to boost the profits of Big Oil donors. Floridians strongly oppose drilling off Florida’s Gulf Coast - it’s too risky to our economy and way of life.
BTW, it’s an illegal maneuver- Biden Admin adopted a permanent protection that can’t be rolled back.

Prioritizing the interests of energy producers over the interests of energy consumers has caused prices to skyrocket.
