Crooked fossil fuel interests noticed, because ratepayers saving money meant them losing money, so they’ve been using their influence over Trump to block low-cost energy.
- SW
You can see that at demand levels of 68 GW, the electricity cost on the Texas grid was only a third of what it was before the low-cost clean energy surge. That’s big ratepayer savings.

After the surge of low-cost clean energy, the Texas demand/cost curve looked like this.

From August 2018 to August 2024, low-cost clean energy surged on to the Texas grid; solar, wind, and battery added 17.6 GW additional power.

In August 2018, the cost of power on the Texas grid at varying levels of demand looked like this. 🧵

I met with Bristol Myers Squibb to learn about their work in neurology and how we can support innovative treatments for Alzheimer’s patients. We need to improve the system of care for people living with Alzheimer's disease from affordable medications to access to long-term care.

He's not sharing his military decisions with Congress, nor his own Pentagon. This is a rogue, incompetent Commander in Chief with no plans or strategies. Just chaos. And none of it makes America safer.

While costs are through the roof, what has the president been focused on? -Fighting a war costing taxpayers billions of dollars. -Building a billion-dollar ballroom and an arch dedicated to himself. Not lowering your costs.

You can’t make this up – Donald Trump wants to pay his friends $1.8 billion of your tax dollars. Just remember – this is the same president who cut funding for Medicaid and SNAP to give more tax breaks to his billionaire buddies. Watch:

Republicans bailed on their own bill. That’s how bad it is.

Yesterday, Republicans punted their OWN BILL that would give ICE and Border Patrol another $70 billion while doing nothing to help everyday Americans. That's how bad the bill is. We'll keep fighting back!

As families travel for Memorial Day Weekend, parents could get stuck with expensive fees if they want to sit with their young children on a plane. I’m demanding the DOT implement my law to ban these fees so that families won’t have to pay more while airlines rake in profits.

No amount of intimidation from Trump’s FBI will change the fact that he lost the 2020 election. This is an abuse of power and a waste of resources, and I fear Trump is doing this to set the stage to meddle in the next election. He needs to cut it out and respect Wisconsin voters.

Trump’s war with Iran has cost Americans more than $42 billion in gas and diesel costs. That’s more than $300 per family. Not peanuts.

I’m really pleased that the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport will receive $260,000 to build a children’s play area and install a new lactation pod, making it easier for families to fly. The funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law we worked hard to pass in 2021.

Donald Trump's settlement makes it official government policy that Trump, his family, and his political allies are above the law. It's outrageously corrupt, and it must be stopped. I'm pressing for answers NOW.

Today, a federal judge determined what we've known all along, the Trump admin was engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is a win for all our rights & the Constitution.

Groceries and gas prices are soaring thanks to Trump’s illegal tariffs and painful war. None of these price increases were inevitable – they’re a direct result of policy choices by this President.

Mifepristone has been used safely and effectively for decades and restricting access to it puts women’s lives at risk. I joined all my Senate Democratic colleagues to keep fighting to ensure access to mifepristone and protect women’s reproductive rights.

The U.S.-Canada relationship is still critically important, especially to Michigan. Despite the recent tension in that relationship, I strongly believe our two nations must work together to address the big problems we face.

No one in government should be allowed to profit off of the information or influence they have access to while in office. That's why I've been pushing to ban stock trading across all three branches of government. It's just common sense.

Trump never has money for healthcare or VA staff or anything to actually make Americans’ lives better — but somehow found $1.8 billion to reward his allies with your tax dollars. That's corruption, plain and simple.

I joined Senator Grassley to demand Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth immediately release stalled funding for Ukraine and the Baltics. These nations are facing the brunt of Russian aggression, and our failure to stand by them will only embolden Putin and his war machine.

The NIH Director couldn't say whether we're better prepared for public health threats under Trump—because we aren't. Trump gutted NIH funding, delayed and canceled research projects, and pushed out thousands of scientists and staff. We’re less ready for the next pandemic.

Howard Lutnick's FIRST political donation since becoming Commerce Secretary was a $5 MILLION donation to House Republicans 1 month before they interviewed him about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Let that sink in.

The next DNI must be committed to restoring trust in the office, protecting the integrity of our intelligence, and ensuring our nation’s intelligence professionals can speak truth to power, without fear or interference.

At a time when the boundaries between verified intelligence and politically convenient claims have too often been blurred, it is critical that the office remain grounded in facts, independence, and the rule of law.

The Director of National Intelligence is entrusted with one of the most serious responsibilities in government: providing objective, fact-based intelligence to policymakers and the American people, regardless of politics or pressure from the White House.

The United States and Canada are in a tough moment right now. But our overlapping interests are bigger than any one president. As Michigan's Senator, I know that the bond between the American people and Canadian people is deep, and it will endure. Because we are stronger when we work together.

In addition to reaffirming my commitment to that relationship, we discussed the importance of the Gordie Howe Bridge to both nations, and I raised my concerns about the threat of Chinese cars coming into North America.

There are many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. Our lives, economies, and security are intertwined. That's why I thought it was so important to travel to Toronto to meet with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney.
