Back before the Republican Party was corrupted by special interests, Senator John Chafee urged Congress to address climate change. x.com/i/broadcasts/1DxLddQzA…

We are living through a biodiversity crash being driven primarily by human activity: climate change, deforestation, pollution, and more.
How much of what wildlife remains must be a sacrifice to the worship of fossil fuel? x.com/i/broadcasts/1OxwbbpkV…

While Trump hands out big bucks for his fossil fuel donors, families' energy costs climb higher.
Since Trump took office, utility costs have soared 18%.

We want to pass permitting reform in the Senate. But the Administration’s clean energy obstruction must end.

President Trump’s war in Iran raised gasoline costs above $4 per gallon in every single state.
We need transportation policies that help Americans, not Trump's Big Oil donors. We need affordable, reliable, and safe transportation choices. x.com/i/broadcasts/1pJdRRypl…

Trump took a wrecking ball to the White House … and the law.
@SenWhitehouse, @RepRobertGarcia, and @RepHuffman are leading 140 Dems to challenge the Administration in court and stop his billion-dollar ballroom.

Ozone isn’t just air pollution. It’s also a major driver of climate change.
@SenWhitehouse and @SenBrianSchatz introduced a bill to fund new research to tackle this potent greenhouse gas.

Trump Administration interference, closed-door decision-making, and alarming staff losses threaten the success of our nation’s nuclear safety regulator and the foundation of our nuclear industry. x.com/i/broadcasts/1yKAPMEnl…

The creepy billionaires’ plot: keep control of government, maintain free-to-pollute business model, and keep gouging you on costs. x.com/i/broadcasts/1vJpPreeZ…

IMO, another big fat Trumpian favor for the fossil fuel industry.
Maybe paired with our excess profits clawback bill this makes sense, but not while they’re busy gorging themselves at the public’s expense.

It takes some messed-up math to believe expensive, polluting coal is bringing costs down.

You meant to say energy, Lee. It’s more expensive now thanks to you.

The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the math is simple. Offshore wind lowers energy costs.

Big Oil is using Trump's war to drive up prices and rake in record profits.
In just the first three months of 2026, BP made $3,200,000,000.
That’s over $266 million per week.
$34 million per day.
$402 per *second.*
My Windfall Profits Bill would return those profits to you.

Trump’s EPA lies about bringing down costs for families.
All they care about is paying off Trump’s fossil fuel donors. You pay the price.

Today’s simple truth: sea levels are rising.
We should all be able to agree on that.

Zeldin might play dumb when it comes to elementary math, but he’s raising your costs on purpose.

Under Zeldin’s leadership, this EPA has sold out American families for Trump’s fossil fuel donors.
They sell more coal, oil, and gas. You pay with your wallet and health. x.com/i/broadcasts/1qGoNeWVb…

Big Oil is happily price-gouging American consumers while raking in massive profits.
My bill returns those profits to you.
