This decision will cause Americans to die. This is exactly why I raised the alarm earlier this year when RFK Jr. fired actual experts on the panel in charge of recommending vaccines.

Donald Trump is openly against affordability.

Costs have skyrocketed because of the president's tariffs. He signed the largest cut to health care in American history and refuses to extend subsidies that can help lower premium prices.

Shameful.

If your electricity bill has increased in recent months, you can thank Donald Trump.

This is exactly why I've proposed the Cheap Energy Agenda. Because we can increase reliability and lower your bill at the same time.

Prioritizing the interests of energy producers over the interests of energy consumers has caused prices to skyrocket.

It's time for an approach to energy policy that puts American consumers first.
