Good explanation from Chrystia Freeland, a former Canadian deputy prime minister, speaking to @ezraklein on how Trump’s tariffs on Canadian aluminum increase our electricity bills here at home.

Nationwide disaster relief and preparation has been a key part of homeland defense for all of #US history. #Trump wants to get rid of it — abolish #FEMA — and push all the responsibility to states. Americans pay taxes and have a national government in order to protect all its citizens. #Disasters are increasing thanks to #extremeweather caused by #climate change. Storms and fires and floods don’t know state borders. And in the US we are all connected by family ties, our economy, and our #Constitution. Your tax dollars are supposed to cover disasters wherever they strike. Thats is what you count on. #Americans deserve better. politico.com/news/2026/10/20…

I am once again asking you to remember that Trump has six times (6!) called for eliminating LIHEAP, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, calling it "unnecessary" and promising lower energy costs instead. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/up…

I worked with FEMA in The White House.
This is an insane move. States don’t have the budget for this.
Ex: Katrina cost $108B, LA’s total state budget in ‘05 was $19B.
Batshit insane
BREAKING:
Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own.
The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help. politico.com/news/2026/10/20…

.@JamesTalarico: The richest man in the world is coming after us — but it is nothing compared to people power.
Elon wants our land. He's already trying to buy one of our beautiful state parks down in South Texas. He wants our water for these AI data centers. He wants our taxpayer funds like when he ran that crazy DOGE process.
And he wants his very own personal United States senator — and that's what he thinks he can get with Ken Paxton.

Well, would you look at that. Greg Abbott is lying to Texas.
He claims he’s hit pause on all data center development.
Turns out his admin is still approving permits.
“…the approval process has since moved forward for dozens of data center projects.”

In 2024 Trump made what he called a “deal” with oil & gas billionaires at Mar-a-Lago, where they would raise $1 billion for him, and he would kill off their clean energy competition and let them do whatever they want. Two years later, we have the results:
Climate Power retweeted
Trump’s core 2024 promise was bringing down costs by being the energy president — “when you bring down energy costs, everything else falls.”
The story of 2026 is that his energy policy, killing clean energy to make us dependent on oil, gas, and coal, has been a massive failure.

America’s $1 trillion/year military is being brought to heel by a country with a tiny economy over a tiny water passage for oil tankers; gas, utility, and diesel costs are sky high; and China is running away with the energy future — but yeah sure, it’s ENERGY DOMINANCE MONTH.
Climate Power retweeted
This administration’s energy policies aren’t working for American families.
We need an approach that uplifts clean energy and brings down costs for everyone.
Households in the contiguous United States will pay thousands of dollars more for energy through 2040 because of federal policy changes since President Trump returned to office, according to modeling released Friday by a nonpartisan think tank. abcnews.link/iqA2Txc

Affordable, reliable, clean, and local energy.
Those are the priorities that drove the modeling of our brand-new Virginia Energy Plan.
The 2026 Virginia Energy Plan is a strong, necessary step to deliver reliable energy, power innovation, and stay on track for a clean energy future.
Climate Power retweeted
Trump promised to halve energy costs, but now we're locked into paying a whopping $6,500 more per household over the next 2 decades. Trump really meant it when he said he didn’t care about our financial situations. And it’s even worse for states that voted for him!

Trump’s signature cost-of-living promise on the campaign trail was that he’d cut energy prices in half — now his “oil & gas only” energy policy is his single biggest failure, the biggest reason Republicans are losing.
3 of the 4 top pain points for people are energy costs.

Ashley Hinson took over $217,000 from Big Oil and Gas, then voted to continue the Iran War SEVEN TIMES.
Iowans are paying record diesel prices because of the war that Ashley Hinson repeatedly voted to continue.

AI data centers should pay for the upgrades to the electric grid they need. Not ratepayers.
Senate Republicans’ Ratepayer Protection Act does nothing to establish this requirement.
Senate Democrats just blocked this Big Tech distraction. Americans need real action, not Republican messaging.

🎯 Husted “gave big giant tax breaks to … these data center companies, and now he’s introducing legislation that doesn’t really address the problem,” said Sen. Mark Kelly
new - Senate Dems wielding the filibuster down the stretch as Senate GOP hunts for wins.
Dems voted for bipartisan college sports but will block Husted data centers and Ricketts stocking trade/voter ID bill today and stopped crypto bill this month
“They’re cooked. I think Donald Trump is going to tweet five more times that he loves data centers. And that is the official position of their party,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told Semafor. “This is panic.”
Republicans are also frustrated the permitting reform bill wasn’t ready to pass the Senate this month, angry about what happened to the crypto bill and pre-blaming Dems for stopping the Husted bill
Sen. Thune: Democrats “can’t take yes for an answer because they are interested in just trying to politicize everything going into the election"
