It wasn’t “unrealistic” when the GOP passed another multi-trillion tax cut $$$ for billionaires—triggering the largest spike in utility bills in history & ripping away health care from millions.
Dems are basically offering them an opportunity on a silver platter to clean up the crisis THEY created.

The day after Trump and Republicans shut down the government, the White house gleefully launched another act of clean energy sabotage aimed squarely at states that didn't vote for him.
It was a perfect snapshot of Trump’s governing ethos: political retribution at all costs. 🧵

Trump’s own Energy Secretary admitted the truth: “We’re going to get blamed.”
And he’s right. Trump’s war on clean energy is driving electricity bills up for working families—while padding fossil fuel profits. 🧵

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Not one of the 21 House Republicans who were supposedly "outspoken defenders" of clean energy tax credits voted to save them.
Every single one of them made clear that they are really in Congress to hand wealthy people and corporate polluters tax breaks. insideclimatenews.org/news/2205202...

....a grift led by the same Republicans whose own districts are benefiting from the clean energy investments they just voted to kill, no less.
If passed into law, Americans will wake up to find the GOP quietly reached into their wallets and handed their hard-earned cash to corporate polluters and billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
