Donald Trump promised to cut electricity costs in HALF by 2026. But new data shows that electricity costs have actually gone UP by 11% since he took office. Another Trump lie that's costing American families.

"One side wanted to stick with the Trump agenda — trying to ban clean energy and focusing on fossil fuels — and one side was trying to lower costs and implement clean energy strategies. And the results speak for themselves.” @nickwabraham.bsky.social Clean, affordable energy won BIG on Tuesday.

Speaker Emerita Pelosi has been a tireless champion, trailblazer, and hero. She was the most pro-environment Speaker in history and we were honored to present her with our lifetime achievement award in 2023. We are forever grateful for her leadership fighting for our climate and democracy.

Energy costs decided this election. Voters backed Democrats promising lower bills, fair rates, and clean power. Turns out clean, affordable energy = winning energy. 💡✅

Last night’s message is clear: Americans care about affordable energy, and they know clean energy is affordable. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. https://www.lcv.org/media-center/memo-electricity-bills-the-kitchen-table-issue-driving-dem-wins-in-2025-and-beyond/

In state after state, Dems won last night by talking about lowering utilities, making AI centers and CEOs pay their fair share. Turns out clean energy and low costs aren’t a talking point – they’re what people actually want. https://politi.co/3LgYSsj

Voters sent a clear message: make energy clean, affordable and fair. Democrats won big by talking about lower bills and clean power. People want cheaper energy and a livable planet. 🌞⚡

In just the latest attack on our environment, Trump is pushing forward with oil and gas drilling in Alaska's pristine Arctic Refuge. This reckless decision will be devastating for Alaska Native communities and Alaska’s wildlife. These lands belong to us, not polluters.

Congratulations to Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill. Voters have put their trust in her because they know that she’ll fight to lower energy bills by pledging to freeze electric rates on her first day in office and to build more affordable, clean energy.

Big news from Georgia: Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard have been elected to the Public Service Commission! They said what Georgians are all thinking - “the power bills are too high!” We’re thrilled they’ll be working for Georgians and supporting affordable, clean energy.

Abigail Spanberger has won the Virginia governor’s race! Governor-Elect Spanberger has been relentlessly focused on making Virginians’ lives more affordable, and has a plan to expand renewable energy and stop energy bills from going up more. We’re looking forward to her leadership in Richmond!

Electric bills up, union jobs down—that’s Trump energy economics. I’ll keep fighting for the more than 158,000 clean energy jobs that Trump has axed.

As #TeenVogue’s political reporting staff are laid off, it’s a good day to remember the critical role a free press plays in a healthy democracy.

It’s Election Day! If you live in one of these 33 states, check out lcv.org/vote and make sure to cast your ballot.

"Trump has set about obliterating clean energy projects: halting offshore windfarms that had already been approved, banning wind and solar from federal land, and eliminating subsidies for renewables and electric cars" Trump's ban on clean energy is devastating for our planet AND our economy.

The government is shut down and millions of Americans can't afford food, electricity, and healthcare. Trump, meanwhile, is bulldozing the White House to build a $300M ballroom for himself and his rich friends and giving handouts to Big Oil. Trump is putting billionaires first, people last.

Trump and Republicans in Congress own this government shutdown and the harm it does to millions of Americans. Full stop. #TrumpShutdown

The government shutdown has left 29,000 public lands employees off the job temporarily. But Trump’s long-term plan? Make permanent layoffs, gut conservation programs, and hand over our national treasures to oil and gas CEOs. More from @americanprogress.bsky.social 👇

⚠️ COMING THIS WINTER… the lights don’t just flicker — they TAUNT YOU. 💡😱 From the CEOs who brought you CLIMATE CHANGE 🌍🔥 comes a nightmare you can’t unplug from… 💀 YOUR ELECTRIC BILL 💀 It’s rising. It’s haunting. Only the sun and the wind can contain it. And it knows where you live. 🏚️⚡

This reckless decision will devastate Alaska Native communities and Alaska’s wildlife. Once again under this administration, Big Oil wins while the rest of us lose.

New offshore drilling would devastate coastal communities and ecosystems. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov, @booker.senate.gov, @rephuffman.bsky.social, and @pallone.house.gov for leading 100+ members to call on the Trump admin to stop plans to expand offshore oil and gas drilling 👇 #ProtectOurCoast

Cost of living, including rising energy bills, is a major issue for voters. Our state affiliates are running big campaigns in major races this fall to highlight who is focused on the issues that matter and who is making the problem even worse. Thread and memo below on key ⚡ races we’re watching 🧵👇

I'm calling on the Trump Administration to immediately restore funding for a Granite State project aimed at making energy more affordable and reliable. With electricity costs on the rise, the administration shouldn't be trying to cancel projects that help bring down costs.

"Experts say it’s a visceral example of what climate change can do to the planet’s most fearsome storms — supercharging them with heat and moisture until they become almost unrecognizable from the Atlantic hurricanes of the past." None of this is normal. #HurricaneMelissa

Families shouldn’t have to pay more because Congressional Republicans rolled back clean energy incentives that were saving money and creating jobs. That’s why I led over 114 of my colleagues in introducing the American Energy Independence and Affordability Act

We can’t go back. From #SuperstormSandy to #HurricaneMelissa, extreme weather disasters have become too frequent due to climate change. We won’t stand by while the Trump administration jeopardizes our health and safety. #ActOnClimate.

The Trump administration recently announced plans to terminate over $23.88 billion in clean energy grants that would have supported 338,150 new jobs. As costs continue to soar and quality of life worsens, this administration is raising your bills and taking away jobs.

This upcoming Election Day, voters in 33 states will decide on issues that impact our communities, our planet, and our democracy. Get ready by checking your registration, learning what’s on your ballot, and making your voting plan. 👇 #VoteEarlyDay

"The warm waters that fueled its intensification were 500 to 700 times more likely as a result of climate change." Hurricane Melissa is being supercharged by abnormally warm ocean temperatures. This is not normal. This is what a climate crisis looks like.

As millions of Americans face SNAP cuts, skyrocketing healthcare premiums, & missed paychecks, the Trump admin continues prioritizing the wishlist of oil, gas, mining, & logging companies. @naturalresources.bsky.social's @rephuffman.bsky.social & @repyassansari.bsky.social are demanding answers 👇

Services for people are shuttered and thousands of federal workers have lost their jobs. Electricity bills are skyrocketing and millions could lose their healthcare. Meanwhile, Big Oil CEOs are getting richer than ever during the #TrumpShutdown.

Electricity bills have increased nationwide by 10% this year — and are projected to continue rising — thanks to Trump's chaotic energy policy. MAGA Republicans will face the consequences in next month's elections for opposing clean energy and ignoring voters’ most pressing concerns.

Trump to Americans devastated by natural disasters: Good luck, you're on your own.

"The Trump administration is weaponizing the government shutdown to gut staffing, weaken environmental protections and normalize its ultimate goal of privatizing public lands. The alarm bells are loud, and our response must be louder." Now, more than ever, we must fight to save our public lands.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

While millions of Americans go without a paycheck during the Republican shutdown, the Trump administration is working overtime to make sure Big Polluters don’t miss theirs.

In just the latest attack on our environment, Trump is pushing forward with drilling in the pristine Arctic Refuge and the construction of a road through the Izembek Refuge. These reckless decisions will be devastating for Alaska Native communities and Alaska’s wildlife. Big Oil wins, we all lose.

"Trump signed a law to phase down super pollutants during his first term. Now he wants to undo it." Trump is Making America Polluted Again.

BREAKING NEWS: The Trump admin just announced they are opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling. This is exactly what Big Oil and Big Gas were hoping for when they donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump. Now he’s handing them a blank check.

Trump is using the Republican shutdown to give Big Oil exactly what it wants: drilling right off our beaches and coasts. Ranking Member @rephuffman.bsky.social: “This sneak attack on our coasts is the worst-case scenario we’ve warned about for years.” www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

How many fossil fuel-funded Republicans does it take to deliver on one president's promise? Trump pledged to cut your energy bills in half. Instead, costs are UP 10% and STILL CLIMBING.

SPOILER ALERT: Trump and Republicans in Congress are the reason why your bills are so high.

The government is shut down and millions of Americans are wondering how they are going to be able to afford their next electricity and healthcare bills but don’t worry, Trump is hard at work destroying the People’s House to build his own palace

I joined @merkley.senate.gov during his historic marathon floor speech to call out Trump's assault on Congress's power of the purse.   It's a gross abuse of power and it's corruption, plain and simple.   I'll keep sounding the alarm on Trump's unconstitutional power grab.

Polluted waterways. Despoiled national monuments. The Trump administration just approved a copper mining expansion in Utah near Bears Ears without considering the impacts on local communities. This was a polluter giveaway in the middle of a government shutdown and they thought nobody would notice.

"The longer you are in an authoritarian state, it becomes more and more entrenched. And so we have to fight it in every possible way." Thank you @merkley.senate.gov for ringing the alarm bells and calling on us all to unite and fight back to defend our democracy 🔔🔔🔔

Trump has taken a torch to essential federal programs, our public lands, and the rule of law. And now he’s literally bulldozing the People’s House to build a lavish ballroom funded by billionaire donors. Share this to make sure every American knows what he has taken away.

Whether you live in a red state or blue state, Donald Trump is undermining all Americans’ constitutional rights— And pushing our nation closer and closer to an autocracy. @merkley.senate.gov is holding the floor to sound the alarm. Everyone needs to pay attention.

Proud to join @merkley.senate.gov on the floor to break down some of this administration’s MOST corrupt acts and help raise the alarm. Here, the voices of our communities hold weight and I’ll never stop speaking out.

Trump is treating the Justice Department as his own personal law firm. I took to the Senate floor with @merkley.senate.gov to speak out against this authoritarianism and corruption.
