Trump’s “war on woke” became a war on affordable energy. Americans are paying higher bills so he can prop up dirty coal instead of cheaper clean energy.

That would cover LIHEAP (which helps people afford to heat their homes in the winter) for 7 years—Trump wants to eliminate that altogether.

Families across the country are having to choose between keeping the lights on and putting gas in their cars. But sure. "The most energy affordable nation in the world."

Burgum: "The US right now is the most energy affordable nation in the world. President Trump is in the strongest position of any US leader ever going into a discussion with China."

It's not just gas prices going up...
Grocery prices and electricity also jumping.
These are the basic costs for most Americans.

Oil executives shouldn't profit from Trump's war in Iran while Americans struggle to get by.
That's why my bill would suspend the national gas tax when gas prices rise above $4 a gallon and pay for it by stopping subsidies for oil and gas companies.

Trump one month before the 2024 election: “Think of it - within one year you’re gonna have electric bills and energy bills and gasoline for your cars is going to be 50% cheaper than it is right now. That’s a big thing.”

Trump’s obsession with fossil fuels caused mercury pollution to jump 9% last year, pumping toxic metal that impairs brain development into the air.

The "plan" is to let climate disasters rack up billions in damages while Trump guts the capacity and resources to help communities rebuild.

Trump is letting 180+ polluting facilities off the hook from Clean Air Act rules—with no input from EPA scientists.
Clean air protections for millions of people vanished overnight so Big Oil and corporate polluters could save a few bucks. propublica.org/article/clean-…

REMINDER: Electric bills rose as high as 13% last year under Trump, and gas prices are exploding.
This Administration has done NOTHING to lower your energy prices. All they are doing is killing the cheap, clean energy that would actually lower your bills and getting us into costly wars that are crushing you at the pump.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright over a Fox News graphic showing the national average gas price at $4.55: "This is an administration all about lowering energy prices, and an incredibly successful record in doing that"
English
Trump promised cheaper gas. Instead, he dragged us into a reckless war that has gas soaring past $4.50/gallon, driving up grocery prices, and leaving Americans footing the bill for another endless conflict.

Trump says we can’t afford weather forecasting and climate research, all while spending $1.2 BILLION in taxpayer dollars a day on his Iran war.

Trump’s leaving people to fend for themselves because they didn’t vote for him.

Trump’s Iran war is hitting us where it hurts most: gas, groceries, and our bills. Turns out “America First” means “America must pay first.”
English
Did Trump ever stop to think about what his Iran war would cost Americans?
Because families paying $4.56+ for gas definitely are.
English
“Windfall profits from Trump’s war will allow big oil to build a wall of money around its Trump-era political victories.”
