Okay, 3 days later, an incomplete list of Trump admin policy with direct connections to making electricity more expensive.

The Republican controlled Senate has released their Finance committee text. On energy policy, it improves slightly over the House bill — but it will still gut clean energy projects, killing jobs largely in Republican districts. This is a garbage bill. THREAD. 🧵

"Liberate the city" from our duly elected government sounds an awful lot like "hostile fascist takeover that also violates pretty much every element of the Bill of Rights".

AND they assaulted a U.S. Senator who clearly identified himself.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

I talk about the need for a 2nd Inflation Reduction Act, an IRA2, to keep advancing toward zero emissions. We do. The IRA in place that the Biden-Harris Admin got done, is the largest climate action in history. A lot of folks don't know what's in it. In this thread over time, I'll talk through it. 📌
