I feel like I’ve been holding my breath for two years, wondering if the America I believed in was a mirage.
IT WAS NOT!!! It was not.
You pay for their grotesque excess profits, from them gouging you at the pump.
Trump helps them screw you by blockading low-cost clean energy.

Grateful our permitting bill keeps winning union support. We can build things again in this country and create good, family-supporting jobs in the process.
New from @jamepdx: Prominent unions, including the Teamsters, back the bipartisan permitting reform deal.
Elections must be free, fair, and secure.
We got a serious briefing Sunday night on the Trump/MAGA schemes to cheat, and have made preparations so they don’t succeed at subverting our democracy.

It’s been eight months since Trump bypassed Congress and started a war with Iran. Prices are still rising, Americans can barely afford their lives, and this Administration still can’t explain what this was supposed to achieve or when it will end.
A cleaner, safer, more abundant, and less expensive energy future awaits us on the other side of this permitting bill.
I’m glad to have the support of @JayTimmonsNAM as we work to lower energy bills and create more well-paying union jobs in Rhode Island.
Pass my DISCLOSE Act and get rid of toxic dark money polluting our politics.

Their blundering would be comical if it weren’t for the evil corrupt malice that is the motivation.

This excellent report merits a lot more attention. Good work, House Judiciary Dems!

No family should be forced to cut back on essentials like gas and groceries just to afford their healthcare premiums.
Instead of lowering costs, Trump is waging a war with Iran and driving up prices at home.

Since Trump took office, gas prices, housing costs, and everyday expenses have skyrocketed. American families are paying more just to get by, but Trump is raking in billions.
The president’s reckless policies are making him richer while costing Americans more.
“Not only is reform needed to meet America’s soaring energy needs, but — contrary to the claims of its critics — it’s also essential to safeguard the nation’s natural resources.”
A cleaner, more affordable future awaits.

Hey, Florida, put that on Big Oil’s climate change tab.
How much are they pitching in?

Our permitting bill saves ratepayers $55 BILLION alone just by requiring data centers to pay their fair share.

Have we come to the point where creepy billionaires can buy American elections? Say NO. Pass my DISCLOSE Act to end their dark money mischief.

Corruption, and you paid for it.

This mini-tantrum of a brief challenges the judge’s fact-finding with presumptions about what took place when they have control over the evidence.
Seems like appointing a special master to investigate DOJ’s conduct and report would make sense.
