I had a lot of fun talking with @13NewsNow’s @matthewfultztv today about how Virginians can lower their energy bills this summer with clean energy and energy efficiency!

Affordability vs. climate is a false choice, and 11 states are already proving it.
Cheaper power. More homes. Cheaper ways to get around. Less pollution.

Let’s be clear: States have tremendous power in providing Americans cheaper, cleaner energy.

Spending $700 million to bail out the coal industry is like throwing a lifeline to a ship that has already sunk. Donald Trump is handing out taxpayer money to coal barons and leaving us with nothing but higher energy costs. – @LenaMDC

President Donald Trump is preparing to use Cold War-era authorities to dole hundreds of millions of federal dollars to support coal-fired electricity as well as US exports of the fossil fuel bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Trump's DOE is illegally gutting the home electrification rebates. These were a lifeline for families who otherwise could not afford to upgrade their homes and escape rising energy costs. The only winners here are Trump's fossil fuel donors.😠

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.
Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Dems went toe to toe with the Trump cult on energy prices in Virginia and New Jersey tonight. The foes of clean energy got clobbered. Turns out people like cheaper electricity from clean sources. Big wins tonight for clean energy.
In addition to Mamdani's historic, tear-inducing victory to become the Mayor of NYC, Dems won the Gov, Lt. Gov & AG in VA, Gov race in NJ, all three state Supreme Court races in PA, both seats on the GA Public Service Commission, & the Mayor of Detroit. WHAT A NIGHT!👏💥
Congrats to @MikieSherrill and @SpanbergerForVA for such big wins! They showed the playbook: link affordability to clean energy, take on broken systems, and go on offense against Trump’s broken policies.
Clean energy is cheap—and it helps win elections.

Waiting on Senate Finance text. Quoting Hamlet.
If it be now, 'tis not to
come, if it be not to come, it will be now;
if it be not now, yet it will come.
The readiness is all.

Instead of lowering costs like they were sent here to do, House Republicans are pushing through a bill that does the exact opposite.
Here are 7 ways their bill will increase costs for working families.

After weeks of working behind closed doors on their budget reconciliation bill, House Republicans are finally releasing draft legislative text.
Here's what you need to know (thread will be continually updated) 🧵
So inspired by @SenBooker's record-breaking grand stand in the Senate. 25 hours. This is the kind of mettle and leadership we need! Thank you, Senator Booker for standing up and fighting for our country!

💡 Clean energy = lower costs
💸 Trump’s plan = sky-high bills
Don’t let them fool you.
Lena Moffitt 🌲 retweeted
Trump’s agenda = higher costs for you, bigger profits for polluters.
The bottom line?
Trump’s “energy dominance” is a scam.
It’s price hikes for working families, handouts for Big Oil.
And unless we stop him, the next 4 years will only get worse.

Trump's next move could be the most expensive yet: repealing the Inflation Reduction Act.
That would erase clean energy tax credits, cut rebates, and drive up energy costs by $32B over 10 years. energyinnovation.org/report/…
