The Trump administration just finalized a rollback of fuel economy standards that will cause drivers to pay at least $1,100 more in fuel per vehicle. It's "kind to oil companies and cruel to the rest of us," says CAC's Margie Alt. www.actonclimate.com/post/cacs-ma...

Americans didn’t ask for higher gas bills. But that’s exactly what this finalized fuel economy rollback delivers. At a time when families need relief, the administration chose to help oil companies instead of American consumers and families. #CleanerCars www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/c...

A new report from @democrats.senate.gov Anti-Corruption Initiative and @epw.senate.gov details just how deep the fossil fuel industry is tied to the Trump administration, and how although they poured millions into his campaign and inaugural fund, we're the ones paying the price.

Gas is $4/gallon. Electric bills are up over 10% since last year. Climate change is making heatwaves worse, and Trump and Republicans are making it harder to afford AC. Utility companies are padding their profits. Working families can't afford the GOP agenda. #ThePriceIsHigh @economicsecurity.us
