Trump’s policies are hurting the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ economy, increasing prices and costing us jobs. You deserve better than a leader who cares more about his personal interest than the public interest. #NotAKing

American families and businesses deserve better than the higher cost of living and corruption of the Trump Administration and colluding polluters.

Americans deserve better than corruption and collusion!

EPA is giving free rein to polluters w/o regard to increasingly expensive & deadly heat waves, floods, droughts & dirty air.

Higher health & energy bills + more costly insurance for
you, while billionaires & polluters pocket massive profits.

We all deserve affordable electric bills.

Trump & fossil fuel corporations are condemning us to a costly, dangerous future. The least they could do is to rename EPA = Environmental Polluters Agency

America should lead the world re cleaner, cheaper energy &climate resilience! Yet, GOP politicians are taking us backward.

We can’t let them.
