There are 600,000 other Iowans just like me, who can't live without Medicaid.

Trump admin said it was “no longer consistent” with their priorities to help small rural towns rightfully worried about flooding from (climate change induced) extreme weather.
When Trump just looks out for fossil fuel executive buddies- people die and are harmed.

Truly shameful stuff from an administration that claims to care about coal - clearly they mean the executives and barons, NOT the workers…

You can understand this shutdown with 3 numbers.
15M — the number of people Republicans want to kick off health care
20M — the number of people Republicans want to 2x health premiums for
0 — the number of times Republicans have called the House back to reopen the government

And the NYT editorial board today: “Under Mr. Trump, Republicans have gone even further. They have become the party that stands in the way of lower energy prices for American households.”

Good news & bad news story, but I think the good news is bigger and stronger.

For the first time, renewables are generating more power globally than coal.
But in the U.S., where the Trump administration is dismantling support for clean energy, renewables are expected to grow half as fast as previously thought.

Clean energy is cheap energy- so glad @casten.house.gov and @levin.house.gov are leading the charge to fight back against Trump and congressional Rs efforts to enrich their fossil fuel cronies while we all suffer high energy costs and more pollution.

Clean energy is the cheapest, fastest electricity to bring online. And yet, as families & businesses struggle with rising costs, Trump & Republicans' policies are hiking costs further.
@casten.house.gov & @levin.house.gov are introducing their plan to bring cheap, clean energy to all Americans 👏

Thank you @amo.house.gov for standing against Trump and Zeldin’s Climate Denial and Chaos Scheme. You’re fighting for the Ocean State, as always, for now and future generations. Truth: Trump and Zeldin are doing this for their fossil fuel donors. #StopTrumpsClimateChaos #CleanEnergyIsCheaperEnergy
What a true and horrible state of affairs @casten.house.gov -Republican administration’s signed environmental laws are being trashed by MAGA, and the Trump toady Zeldin is breaking those laws and his oath with their Climate Denial and Chaos Scheme. #StopTrumpsClimateChaos #CleanEnergyIsCheaperEnergy
Thank you @pingree.house.gov for highlighting the climate impacts on fishermen and working waterfront from 2 back to back extreme storms in 2023, tick-borne diseases on residents and tourists, farmers harmed by spring flooding and summer drought. #StopTrumpsClimateChaos

A lot of Republicans — and some independents — believe the Trump administration’s claim that renewables are responsible for rising power bills.
But independents are far more likely to blame tariffs, the AI data center buildout, and Trump himself.

Great to be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at the CHVI Leadership Conference! #CHCIHHM2025
Thank you for setting the stage at #CHCI plenary @levin.house.gov - and how we need more clean energy, not fossil fuels, for our climate, communities, and household budgets. #CleanEnergyIsCheaperEnergy
Agree @menendez.house.gov that we need to make sure we advance #EnvironmentalJustice so all zipcodes are healthy, & tackle affordability crisis all by getting more clean energy on grids! Trump admin is going the wrong way, even though Texas has lower prices because of wind, solar, & batteries.
Thank you @mikelevin.org for telling truth to power - AI should be advancing clean energy to power its electric demands, not dirty energy, and making sure it doesn’t further increase families utility bills. #BYONCE
100% agree @mikelevin.org that the cheapest energy is also the cleanest energy- and that unfortunately this Trump administration is trying to push dirty expensive fossil fuels. #CHCIHHM23 @lcv.org
Thank you @markmagana.bsky.social for bringing it back to #ClimateCrisis and #CleanAir to challenge utilities to ensure Latine communities are protected from extreme weather and life-shortening health impacts from #DirtyEnergy. #CHCIHHM23 @greenlatinos.org
Appreciate Yvonne McIntyre from PG&E pushing forward with #CleanEnergy, virtual power plants with electric vehicles, and grid enhancing technologies to help drive down #HighEnergyCosts for families and clean up our air. #CHCIHHM23
