Retired Ohio school teacher Joni Watson was "dumbfounded" by the drastic increase in her electric bill this past year. Thanks to Trump's war in Iran and his administration's policies against clean energy projects, utility prices will continue to go up.

In case you missed it, here's what Trump has been up to recently: ❌ Gave the coal industry $700M in taxpayer dollars ❌ Leased 700,000 acres of the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas companies ❌ Used national park entrance fees to pay for his D.C. vanity projects He is destroying and looting our country.

Families like Jason Freed's are faced with difficult decisions as both the temperature and his utility bills continue to rise.
An image featuring a quote from Jason Freed, an educator in Tucson, Arizona, about the high cost of electricity.

The background shows a high-angle view of the Tucson city skyline with a desert landscape and saguaro cacti in the foreground. Large, hand-drawn-style speech bubbles contain the following text:

"Electricity is a huge issue in Arizona because of how hot it is. We do anything we can to keep the AC use down. If you leave your house or sit in front of a fan all day just to keep the bill under control, something's off. If prices keep going the way they are, we're going to have to keep cutting corners."

The final sentence is highlighted in yellow. At the bottom, there is a headshot of Jason Freed, a man with short dark hair wearing a suit and tie, next to his name, occupation, and a yellow location pin icon for "Tucson, AZ." The bottom right corner features the "Center for American Progress" logo.

$1,000,000,000. That's how much of our taxpayer money Trump is giving to a foreign fossil fuel company to STOP construction on offshore wind projects. This nonsensical, destructive "policy" will raise our costs and pollute our planet further all so Big Oil can get even richer.
