Trump is making electricity more expensive–not less. That’s because of something we’ll call the “Trump Tax”—a combination of tariffs, canceled clean energy investments, and cuts to energy affordability programs. Now his “big, beautiful bill” could make it even worse. 🧵

Sen. Padilla: Right at the deadline, the Republican majority filed an amendment to the previously bipartisan wildfire bill to codify the repeal of the roadless rule. The last-minute move destroys bipartisan opportunity for compromise.

The Roadless Rule directly protects 80,000+ miles of rivers and has tremendous importance for drinking water and wildlife. It's loss would mean losing one of the most significant river protection mechanisms we have. 🌲🔍 Your #RoadlessRule FAQs below:

Sen. Heinrich: I want to commend Senator Barrasso for working in a very bipartisan way on dealing with wildfire threats that we're all struggling with. And I think putting the Roadless Rule repeal into this legislation just blows that up.

President Trump is reversing the energy emergency he inherited with BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN COAL. Since January 2025, the Energy Department has saved 43 coal plants and is helping build two more.

America's public lands—including the incredible Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—belong to all of us. But now the Trump-Vance Administration is auctioning it off to their Big Oil cronies that already have plenty of other areas to drill.

This Friday @Interior will hold an oil/gas lease sale in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of the largest undeveloped landscapes in North America. This is the first of at least four before 2035. blm.gov/press-release/…
