Instead of Solar for Allโ€”Donald Trump wants higher costs for all. This is just the latest MAGA heist that will drive energy costs up and keep everyday Americans beholden to Trumpโ€™s Big Oil buddies.

From access to public transportation to managing climate impacts, to spurring economic growth, and strengthening maritime and artistic traditions, these leaders are tackling the most challenging issues of our time. I am proud to receive their endorsement.

Trump didnโ€™t call the National Guard when insurrectionists attacked the Capitol.

Now heโ€™s deploying them to enforce his cruel anti-homeless agenda in D.C.

We need housing and dignityโ€”not militarized streets.

Supporting small businesses never tasted so sweet.

When we invest in small businesses, we invest in our communities.

Boston drafts detailed action plan to slash emissions by 2030 - The Boston Globe The city of Boston released a draft climate plan on Monday, a sweeping effort to slash planet-warming emissions by the end of this decade, while adapting to rising seas and extreme weather.

When we lower dangerous emissions, we can lower energy costs and ensure clean air. Boston is on the frontlines of the climate crisis, and our Green New Deal Mayor is facing it head on. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/04/s...

Screenshot of Trump post reading:

was just informed that our Country's "Jobs Numbers" are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000.
These were Records - No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under "TRUMP" despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting "Kamala" elected - How did that work out? Jerome "Too Late" Powell should also be put "out to pasture." Thank you for your attention to this matter!
