I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Evergreen: Republicans Just Sold Out Working-Class Americans So Oligarchs Can Hoard Even More Wealth Republicans just jammed through one of the most catastrophic bills in a generation.

Working-class Americans may not have had a seat at the table, but they will remember who slammed the door in their faces.

Never forget who is responsible for this betrayal.

🚫Your power bills will soar.
🚫Prices at the pump will climb.
🚫Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost.
🚫Our air will get dirtier.
🚫And the climate crisis that already threatens our way of life will accelerate.

Working-class Americans don’t have armies of lobbyists. They have elected officials.

And this week, those officials sold them out so a few hundred oligarchs and ultra-wealthy Americans could hoard even more wealth.

Why did Republicans do it? Because Big Oil and dying coal barons saw cheaper clean energy as a threat to their profits. So they spent billions buying power in Washington. That investment just massively paid off.

And here’s the kicker: the people who will suffer most are the same working-class and rural voters who put their faith in Trump and Republicans to lower costs. Instead, Republicans sold them out.

On top of all that:
🥫 Food assistance slashed
🧑‍⚕️ Health care ripped away from 17 million people
📉 The entire health system destabilized

Republicans just declared war on working-class Americans.

The result?
❗️Toxic air.
❗️More asthma and cancer.
❗️Hundreds of premature deaths, especially among kids and seniors.

As climate-fueled heatwaves and power-hungry AI demand push the grid to the brink, Republicans voted for MORE blackouts and MORE pollution.

That means:

⚡️Half the grid’s future capacity—gone. 🔥 Electricity bills up $110 next year, $400/yr within a decade. 💼 Nearly 1 million jobs destroyed.

The bill repeals clean energy investments, killing the cheapest, fastest-to-build power sources, putting critical science-based climate targets out of reach.

🧵Republicans just passed one of the most catastrophic bills in a generation.

It raids trillions from working families and hands the cash to billionaires and Big Oil—while slashing clean energy, food aid, and health care. Here’s what you need to know ⬇️

The gif is of the classic former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi meme, "There's no point in saying good morning because it certainly is not one." But instead of "good morning" it says "happy july 4th" So, it reads, "There's no point in saying happy July 4th because it certainly is not one." Trump and Republicans in Congress rammed this bill down America's throats by this arbitrary deadline of July 4th, presumably because the more Americans find out about it, the more they hate it. But they had to kill the clean energy industry and get that tax break for their Big Oil donors and billionaire benefactors who bought-and-paid-for these politicians, otherwise they would be big mad. Truly wild this is where we are. It really sucks, ya'll. We can't let them get away with it.

BREAKING: Big Oil bought politicians in Congress willing to spike your bills, torch your job, and pollute your kids’ lungs to squeeze out a little more profit.

Republicans just cashed the check and sold working-class Americans out to a handful of billionaires.

elon rn: state the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy, I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me! so go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and CRAZY

that's fine, i'll tell mine you're [in the epstein files]

This is already affecting my husband who works in the solar industry. companies are already afraid of the bill going through so they have canceled deals and some financing companies have also stopped taking solar projects.

Trump’s Energy Price Hike: A Timeline of Broken Promises We've documented and analyzed how Trump's reckless policies are driving up costs for average Americans. Despite his campaign promises, his actions are increasing energy prices, hurting the economy, an...

Every one of these decisions is designed to hand polluters more money ripped right from your paycheck.

If you're seeing higher energy bills, Trump made you pay.

➡️ The bottom line: 📈 Trump's energy agenda is built to RAISE your costs. ⬅️

It's not about grid reliability. Or American jobs.

It's a fossil fuel loyalty program––paid for by you.

And his "One Big Beautiful" price hike has yet to come.

Ironically, Trump's fake "energy emergency" risks creating a real one.

By sidelining clean energy and forcing utilities to rely on more expensive fossil fuels to power our homes––just as electricity demand surges––he's driving costs up.

And you'll be the one paying them.

Interior Department to Fast-Track Oil, Gas and Mining Projects

He fast-tracked fossil fuel approvals (citing his fake “energy emergency”), slashing review timelines on public lands from 1 year to just 14 days.

93% of new electricity last year came from wind and solar—yet he’s paused wind approvals on public lands 🤔 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/c...

Trump order to halt NY wind project stuns offshore industry, threatens other projects The Trump administration's decision to halt construction of Equinor's Empire Wind 1 farm off the coast of New York late on Wednesday sent shockwaves through the offshore wind industry, raising concerns that fully-permitted developments representing billions in investment are not safe.

Trump's weird, untethered obsession with "windmills" ("I’ve studied it better than anybody.” FACT CHECK: he hasn't) is now policy:

He forced a wind farm to halt construction, undermining investor confidence & driving up costs that'll get passed onto you. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

E.P.A. Plans to Shut Down the Energy Star Program

Trump is gutting dozens of appliance efficiency standards––despite his own Energy Dept analysis showing it will cost Americans BILLIONS in utility bills.

He's also trying to kill ENERGY STAR, a cheap program that saves consumers $40 billion a year. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

PG&E says ‘substantial uncertainty’ over DOE loan will increase costs Meanwhile, wildfire fears are spooking investors, prompting the utility to ask for a rate increase

Trump's Energy Dept is now "reviewing"––and canceling––loans to build cheaper clean energy.

Why? To pay back fossil fuel donors.
The impact? Utilities counting on those loans to expand clean power and lower costs are pulling back—and you’ll foot the bill. www.latitudemedia.com/news/pge-say...

Trump announces new auto tariffs in a major trade war escalation | CNN Business President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced 25% tariffs on all cars shipped to the United States, a significant escalation in a global trade war.

Trump's will-they-won't-they tariffs also could raise the price of a new car by $5,000 to $15,000!

That's because he slapped a brand new tax on imported cars and parts (half of all cars bought in the U.S. are imported btw). www.cnn.com/2025/03/26/e...

US expected to declare Biden fuel economy rules exceeded legal authority The U.S. Transportation Department is expected to declare that fuel economy rules issued under then President Joe Biden exceeded the government's legal authority by including electric vehicles in setting the rules, automaker officials said Monday.

Real World star––ergh, I mean, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy––is rolling back fuel efficiency rules projected to save drivers over $600 each year.

His reason? Fossil fuel execs reaaally want him to.
The impact? Less efficient cars, higher gas bills. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Trump administration orders Consumers Energy to keep Michigan coal-fired power plant open Consumers Energy's last coal-fired power plant was slated to close May 31. A Trump administration order is blocking that.

On May 23, Trump's Energy Secretary forced a Michigan coal plant to stay open, using emergency powers RESERVED FOR WARTIME.

The "emergency"? Fake.
The impact? Forcing midwesterners to pay for expensive coal and subsidize his fossil fuel cronies' profits. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Trump's energy agenda is economic sabotage:

🛑 Blocking cheaper clean energy
🛑 Forcing taxpayers to pay for expensive––and dirty––electricity from coal
🛑 Throwing energy markets into chaos with "Liberation Day" tariffs
🛑 Jacking up the cost to buy––and drive––a car

CEBA Report: Repealing Clean Energy Tax Credits Would Raise Electricity Prices for American Families and Job Creators Across the United States - CEBA Average household utility bill would rise by more than $110 per year, while businesses would see at least a 10% increase, to be passed on to consumers The Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA) today ...

But first, Trump's ""One Big Beautiful Bill"" repeals the clean energy tax credits that are lowering your electricity bills.

If it becomes law, your energy bill would go up by $110 NEXT YEAR––and nearly $300 within a decade.

It's a backdoor energy tax. cebuyers.org/blog/ceba-re...

An image of an iPhone with someone asking "Hey, why is our electricity bill so high?" on Thursday, May 29 at 10:53. The person with the iPhone responds, "I don't know" with a sad, unhappy emoji. Then, the chat shows that on Friday, May 30 at 4:43, Donald Trump forced himself into the chat. He texts, "Bill baby, bill!" and then sends a follow up text with a correction: "***Drill baby, drill!"

🚨Trump's Biggest, Most Beautiful energy price hike is on its way, as Congress works overtime to pass their most shameless grift in history.

But that's just half the story. Since taking office, Trump has launched a full-scale assault on your energy bills.

Let's break it down 🧵

House Republicans Have Passed a Bill to Gut the IRA. What Happened to All the Supposed Holdouts? - Inside Climate News The fate of the Inflation Reduction Act is in the hands of a few dozen elected officials who are weighing principles, partisan leanings and their districts’ economic interests.

Not one of the 21 House Republicans who were supposedly "outspoken defenders" of clean energy tax credits voted to save them.

Every single one of them made clear that they are really in Congress to hand wealthy people and corporate polluters tax breaks. insideclimatenews.org/news/2205202...

POLITICO Pro: Senate Republicans look to curb House rollback of IRA tax credits The House bill passed Thursday includes more aggressive cuts to the clean energy credits than earlier drafts.
