When Trump blocks clean energy from the grid, rates go up. Trump is rigging the electricity grid to enrich his Big Oil buddies, and you're footing the bill.

Corruption really stands out in the costs of climate risk: home insurance, groceries, electric rates. Fossil fuel’s climate denial fraud and dark-money political corruption drive those costs sky-high!

How much do polluters pollute? Check this out:

Trump has full-on crashed with independents on his handling of the economy — Crater City.  moneywise.com/news/economy/t…

The fossil fuel industry poured massive amounts of money into electing Trump, and now he's paying them back with your money, by forcing grids across the country to run dirtier, pricier power plants that would otherwise sit idle because they're inefficient and polluting.

Please jump in and support Platner as energetically as he has galvanized Maine voters. The creepy billionaires will come in hard for Collins to defend their grip on power; we need to stand up to them. secure.actblue.com/donate/platner…

The Maine primary is over, early. @grahamformaine won it, fair and square. This is a completely winnable seat, with approval numbers for “Concerned Collins” in the tank.

Pissed off at the rotten Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act?  Express yourself by donating to @scott_colom. I’ve been down to visit him and he’s the real deal. secure.actblue.com/donate/sbd-sc-…

For all our sakes, I want the world’s fourth largest economy led in the coming crisis by someone who really understands the problem and the best solutions. We all have a stake in that.

That matters because climate change has moved from the science department to the economics department. The first climate disruptions looming are economic disruptions. It will only get worse, so long as fossil fuel pollutes for free.

Why I Endorsed @TomSteyer. California is a long way from Rhode Island, but it shares our vulnerability to climate upheaval. As the world’s fourth largest economy, California also has huge throw-weight in climate solutions.

Seriously, look at the guy. Do you think he cares one bit about your welfare as he crashes?

Republicans would do well to be concerned that their mad narcissist pursuing these mad vanity projects, instead of attending to voters’ concerns about the cost of stuff, will drag them down. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

Sen. @SheldonForRI: Stuff should cost less. You are making lots of stuff cost lots more. Your attack on clean energy raises costs for consumers, but it sends billions Trump's big donors. Trump's attack on wind stalled 9 cent kWh power getting to my constituents who work in an 18 cent kWh grid. Will you concede 9 cents less than 18 cents? Trump's EPA Administrator: Well, 9 cents is less than 18 cents.

Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades. Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Voters on both sides of the aisle hate the creepy dark money that they know warps their elections. Pass my DISCLOSE Act and restore power to the people.
