Rahm Emanuel has a message for you: your electric bill went up, and somehow it’s Donald Trump’s fault. In his Wall Street Journal op-ed titled “Rising Electricity Price? Thank Trump,” the former Obama chief of staff does what Washington Democrats do best, rewrite history. He claims that cutting Biden’s green-energy subsidies through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act caused electricity prices to rise. But the facts, and basic economics, say the opposite. When he was Mayor of Chicago, Emanuel proposed in 2012 that the city negotiate a surcharge on customers’ electricity bills to pay for his renewable energy and efficiency…

Electric vehicle (EV) companies are struggling to turn a profit as the Trump Administration continues to withdraw government subsidies that EV producers relied on. Rivian is facing this reality and experiencing multiple layoffs across the company. The Wall Street Journal reports: “Rivian is carrying out another round of layoffs affecting around 4% of its workforce as the electric-truck maker tries to conserve cash in a world pulling back from electric vehicles.” This comes after the company reported a $1.1 billion loss in the second quarter. It follows an industry-wide trend, and one that Rivian has experienced multiple times.  “A month…

After years of warning that climate change would devastate humanity, Bill Gates is suddenly singing a different tune. In a recent interview reported by The New York Times, Gates now claims that climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise.” This stunning reversal comes from the same billionaire who spent years pushing radical green policies.

There’s no “new science” behind his change of heart, just a billionaire trying to dodge responsibility for the damage his agenda caused. “Bill Gates is trying to flee the blaze…

This week, the Trump administration showcased their frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his war machine. The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, escalating pressure on the Kremlin to end its war in Ukraine. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the move targets the oil companies that “fund the Kremlin’s war machine” and called on Moscow to agree to an “immediate ceasefire.” The sanctions target dozens of subsidiaries connected to the two energy giants and mark a significant effort to further isolate the already wounded Russian war economy.  Fox Business reports, “The sanctions block dozens of subsidiaries…

The Department of Energy (DOE) announced this week it will buy 1 million barrels of oil to replenish the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This move represents a long-overdue correction after the Biden administration drained the SPR to its lowest level since 1983. When President Trump left office, America’s SPR held more than 638 million barrels, a strong safeguard designed to protect the nation in the event of war, natural disaster, or global supply disruption. But the Biden administration repeatedly emptied it for political purposes. The result? America’s most critical emergency energy stockpile dropped to just 402 million barrels by June 2025, according…
