There’s a deliberate scheme to raise your energy costs. Who’s responsible? Trump and Big Oil.

Even Trump’s own DOJ won’t go along with his vandalism lies.

Trump feeds his monumental ego with his vanity projects, and Americans are left to foot the bill.

@whitehouse.senate.gov asked a Trump nominee for evidence that vandals damaged the Reflecting Pool. We're still wondering, where is that evidence?

We want to pass permitting reform in the Senate. But the Administration’s clean energy obstruction must end.

It takes some messed-up math to believe expensive, polluting coal is bringing costs down.

You meant to say energy, Lee. It’s more expensive now thanks to you.

The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the math is simple. Offshore wind lowers energy costs.

Trump’s EPA lies about bringing down costs for families. All they care about is paying off Trump’s fossil fuel donors. You pay the price.

Cutting methane is a no brainer. Trump’s bullying of the EU will hurt American companies, waste gas, and increase air pollution. @whitehouse.senate.gov and @repscottpeters.bsky.social led 24 Members of Congress in urging the EU to resist Trump's attacks and uphold its methane standards.

Trump did a hostile takeover of the Kennedy Center, installed loyalists to bless his power grab, and illegally named the building after himself. Now, amid a wave of boycotts and declining sales, he is trying to shutter the Center. Ranking Member @whitehouse.senate.gov's statement:

Experts agree—there is no permitting reform without project certainty.

The Senate could be working on bipartisan legislation to bring more clean, affordable energy to the grid. The Trump Administration doesn’t want it.

Big Oil is fueling the climate crisis, and they’ve known for nearly 60 years. They’ve been burying the truth and spreading disinformation to make a profit.

The Trump Administration will stop at nothing to help Big Oil. There’s no point in passing a bipartisan permitting bill if this corrupt Administration won’t faithfully execute the laws.

NEW: @whitehouse.senate.gov introduced 16 resolutions to formally acknowledge the harms of climate change and toxic air pollution. An industry corruptly denying the dangers doesn’t change the science. It’s a choice between truth and falsehood, and we want to put the Senate on record.

Trump’s assault on clean energy sinks permitting reform. There is no path to a bill if this administration refuses to follow the law. Trump will own higher electricity prices, aging infrastructure, & loss of U.S. competitiveness. @whitehouse.senate.gov & @heinrich.senate.gov's statement:

Looks like the EPA is celebrating another self-aggrandizing list. Surprising no one, it’s riddled with hyperbole and misdirection. Here are just a few lowlights:

The U.S. federal government had one representative at this year’s COP: @whitehouse.senate.gov. He showed up with U.S. state & local leaders to show the world that while Trump may think climate change is a hoax, the majority of American people do not.

Trump was right about something—we DO need more energy on the grid. So, why is he gutting affordable clean energy that would help lower energy costs?

The FBI wants to move into a DC building located on top of a Metro stop AND a public parking lot. Great for a Spirit Halloween, not for one of our top national security agencies.

How many fossil fuel-funded Republicans does it take to deliver on one president's promise? Trump pledged to cut your energy bills in half. Instead, costs are UP 10% and STILL CLIMBING.

The real energy emergency is skyrocketing energy costs—all so Trump’s fossil fuel donors can sell more oil and gas.

Insurance costs are soaring in areas with high climate risk, like North Carolina. No insurance = no mortgage. No mortgage = no buyers. No buyers = property values crash. This is how climate risk leads to economic collapse.
