We are the top in the country. They aren't lowering our costs. They are raising them and working people are paying the price.
Average electricity cost increase since Jan:
Missouri ⬆️ 37%
Iowa ⬆️ 30%
North Dakota ⬆️ 30%
Oklahoma ⬆️ 30%
New Jersey ⬆️ 27%
Nebraska ⬆️ 25%
Montana ⬆️ 25%
Wyoming ⬆️ 23%
NATIONWIDE ⬆️ 11%
Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

They are texting lies to Missourians now. The Republicans will never stop trying to strip our rights to keep power. Spending millions to lie to us about signing petitions. Don't fall for it.
The Republican National Committee is sending deceptive texts to Missourians with lies about the petitions being gathered to stop their illegal mid-decade redistricting. They will do anything to stop us from exercising our rights! Don’t be fooled! Sign them now! #TeamWellman #mo2 #moleg #missouri

NEW: ICE had initially planned a limited pilot program to hire bounty hunters and private investigators for immigrant tracking.
The agency has now scrapped that plan and is going all-in, removing the program’s spending cap and offering up to $280M to any given contractor.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.
