The weirdest part to me is how much of it is supposed to be “comedy” or comedy-adjacent and yet so frequently the “jokes” are just the laziest, unclever, unfunny garbage.

The Republican budget will stick Americans with higher energy bills.

End the war on clean, cheap energy. Kill the Bill.

21 House Republicans signed a letter supporting clean energy in their districts.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is keeping them honest: "What are those 21 Republicans going to do when the time comes to vote for this Big Ugly Bill" that guts clean energy jobs?

Tell your reps to #VoteNo TODAY.

"Raising the cost of your energy bill by hundreds of dollars, stripping away millions of jobs... and what is all of this being done for? To provide massive tax breaks to billionaires."

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill will gut clean energy, jack up energy costs, and kill good jobs -- all to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires.

Our team and partners were on the Hill to support @housedemocrats.bsky.social leading the charge to defend our communities and oppose this bill. #VoteNo

The GOP’s big spending bill could kill renewable energy projects Republican senators voted to roll back renewable energy tax credits that benefited their own districts.

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is the most anti-environmental piece of legislation in U.S. history.

This bill would gut clean energy and raise our costs while giving massive handouts to the fossil fuel industry.

Big Oil may as well have written this legislation.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill would increase medical and energy bills for millions, gut clean energy, and add $4 TRILLION to the deficit — all to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-rich.

It's time to kill this extreme, costly bill.

They plan to roll back green energy investments. That will spike our utility bills while warming our planet. A double hit only the GOP could conjure.

Torres: "In 2024, 90% of new electricity generation in the US was clean energy. 60% of it is solar. And Republicans are proposing to defund solar and battery storage and wind, which are the leading sources of new electricity generations in the US. It is an act of strategic self-sabotage."

"To take away the cheapest, quickest way to put more electrons on the grid, solar, makes no sense."

@schumer.senate.gov called out Trump and Congressional Rs' war on clean energy that will take away family's jobs and increase costs.

‘Kill shot:’ GOP megabill targets solar, wind projects with new tax

Senate Republicans stepped up their attacks on solar and wind energy projects by quietly adding a provision to their megabill that would penalize future developments with a new tax.

If you didn't already think the #BigUglyBill was essentially a ban on clean energy, you should now. Overnight GOP added a new tax on wind and solar while giving a new subsidy to COAL, most of which gets exported. Meanwhile the rest of us will pay more for less energy.

This is exactly right. Anyone voting for the spending bill is voting for higher energy bills and blackouts.

The overnight version of the Big Ugly Bill doesn't just end clean energy tax credits, it GIVES tax breaks to COAL while IMPOSING new taxes on cheaper, faster wind and solar. Fossil Fuel CEOS make more profits while the rest of us will be paying for the Republican Rate Hike. Say NO to this bill!

The Senate version of GOP's budget bill dropped in the middle of the night. Astonishingly, it got EVEN WORSE. It raises energy costs, kills $100s of billions of investment in manufacturing, makes grids less reliable, increases pollution & constrains our ability to compete w/China on AI. Loser stuff.

At every turn the IRA rollback has gotten worse.

Wind and solar tax credits were bipartisan agreements that went back decades. They are removed now, and instead wind and solar are taxed.

Made gfx/tool based on modelling from @energyinnovation.org that shows that the GOP tax and spending bill will result in larger energy bills for many Americans compared with a scenario where the bill does not pass. Thanks to EI & Ella who worked on me with this: www.cnn.com/2025/06/27/c...

NEW: Republicans killing wind/solar/EV tax credits means annual energy costs will be higher in *every state* in the continental US than they would have if the tax credits stay intact, per @energyinnovation.org data. Red states like SC, OK and TX will be hit hardest. www.cnn.com/2025/06/27/c...

The Republican Rate Hike in their Big Ugly Bill will cause YOUR energy bills to go up by hundreds of dollars a year.

They're trying to sell working Americans and our communities out to enrich their Big Oil friends.
