Extreme heat is driving up utility bills across the country—and Trump's energy agenda is making it more expensive for families to keep the lights on and the AC running.

Here are some tips to lower your energy costs this summer:

That's like saying your grocery bill only doubled, not tripled, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Trump downplays rising oil costs:

"Oil is $98 a barrel. Everyone said it was gonna be $300 a barrel. That's not a big price to pay"

Extreme heat isn't just a big-city problem.

Rural Americans are often farther from cooling centers and hospitals, more likely to work outdoors, and more vulnerable to dangerous heat.

A school district in Oregon is spending about $30,000 a week on fuel for buses — $6,400 more per order than in February.

Some schools might have to cut staff just to keep up with their energy bills.

Trump's policies are costing families.

“Trump has delayed acting on disaster requests since he took office. He has taken an average of 62 days to approve or deny requests.”

Deadly heat is on the way, but Trump continues to cut funding that helps keep people safe. Summer heat historically kills more people than floods, hurricanes and wildfires, and now local officials are scrambling to fill in the gaps.

Oil company execs are making money "hand over fist" thanks to Trump's war with Iran.

Trump might be claiming that we're going to "drill, baby, drill" but the CEOs are saying the exact opposite.

@AlexSJacquez joined @majorityfm to discuss how oil companies are profiting in Trump's economy.

Trump spent the last year gutting FEMA and delaying disaster funds. Americans are getting less protection from bigger storms—and facing an affordability crisis, leaving them less likely to be able to prepare and recover from disasters. https://t.co/3XsH65HfFm

Americans are skipping groceries to make ends meet while Trump is playing The Sims with the White House.

Hurricane season begins today. The Trump administration has ousted:

—20% of all FEMA staff
—50% of FEMA leadership positions
—60% of FEMA's permanent regional administrators

Trump can attack wind power all he wants, but US wind capacity is still on track to add ~40 GW during his term, with offshore wind projected to hit ~6 GW by the end, about 34x what it was when he took office.

A new study shows air pollution during pregnancy and childhood can slow lung growth and reduce how well lungs develop into adulthood—meaning kids exposed to dirty air today may carry lasting health impacts for life.

Since Trump’s Iran war began, Americans have spent nearly $450 more on gas and energy ⛽https://t.co/4dEcCc2YLl

Families are paying more just to stay cool while costs keep rising.

Hurricane season is about to begin, and Trump is still pushing cuts to FEMA—leaving communities to face stronger storms with weaker disaster response.

National park funding is paying for Trump's vanity projects while parks across the country are stuck waiting on critical repairs.

While Trump has spent years yelling at windmills like a modern-day Quixote, American workers were busy building the future.

He might try to slow us down, but clean energy is too durable to be derailed by one Don’s ego. https://t.co/97StcjtnIB
