2026 vibes report summed up by the fact that at both the Phoebe Bridgers and Olivia Rodrigo shows with my daughter in the last week, both artists invited the audience to participate in a very prolonged, full-throated, cathartic scream.

Republicans' 2025 Big Ugly Bill gave data centers tens of billions of dollars in tax breaks, fueling the data center boom that has raised our costs and polluted our air and water. Now they're pretending that never happened. But we won't forget.

Prompt: Have energy prices been cut by 50% since the start of 2025 like Trump promised? Yes or no?

Bot: No. Official EIA data do not show a 50% cut in energy prices since the start of 2025.

For LCV Victory Fund, the new ads are part of a broader strategy to reach what the group calls the “energy bill voter.” Polling commissioned by LCV and Climate Power earlier this year found 42% of swing voters said they were “very concerned” about electricity costs.

Juan Ciscomani's district has attracted over $924 million in clean energy investments since 2022. But if it were up to Ciscomani, that number would be $0. He has accepted campaign cash from mining and fossil fuel interests and voted for Trump's Big Ugly Bill that gutted clean energy. #DirtyDozen
