The American people want lower energy bills, and they want more clean energy. Our permitting reform plan gets us a long way toward both of those goals.

@epw.senate.govSep 29, 2026, 6:59 PM

The fossil fuel industry wants to hide the truth, but we can’t let them. We’ll continue to shine a spotlight on the industry’s climate denial and dark money schemes, until Republicans see that their big polluter donors’ lies aren’t worth the money.

There’s a deliberate scheme to raise your energy costs. Who’s responsible? Trump and Big Oil.

🚨BREAKING🚨
@whitehouse.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov & @epw.senate.gov release a damning new report exposing how Trump’s corruption with fossil fuel corporations is costing American families.

Big Oil will gain $190 BILLION (and counting) from Trump’s taxpayer-funded subsidies and handouts. WATCH 👇

Big Oil bought Trump. You’re paying the price. Our comprehensive new report exposes corrupt fossil fuel industry control over the Trump Administration and how it’s costing American families.

Nuclear energy is our largest source of zero-carbon energy. To develop nuclear energy responsibly and credibly, we need safe solutions for permanent waste.

@epw.senate.govSep 16, 2026, 1:26 PM

Two bills being considered today are the product of bipartisan cooperation. The other is not. These bipartisan bills will help prevent wildfires and meet nuclear fuel demands.

The law and economy have spoken. DOE should stop inventing ‘emergencies’ and let coal fail.

Trump and Zeldin are defying the laws of this country, the laws of physics, and the law of common sense. Their Polluters First Agenda passes the very real costs of a more extreme climate onto working families. We must protect human health and our environment—not corporate polluter profits.

How about some good news? Through bipartisan consensus, this CR contains no-brainer extensions for infrastructure funding and fee collections from chemical manufacturers. Wins that improve Americans' lives.

Renaming the Kennedy Center after a deeply unpopular president seems to have been a financial disaster.

@whitehouse.senate.gov is renewing demands for the Center's financial documents, a basic expectation of trustees with fiduciary duties.

If you have information about waste, fraud, and abuse at the Kennedy Center, we’re prepared to meet with you in confidence and at your convenience.

@epw.senate.govJul 21, 2026, 11:03 PM

Trump feeds his monumental ego with his vanity projects, and Americans are left to foot the bill.
