This is a catastrophe for many American families and businesses — and only underscores the shame that the Trump admin spent the last year unwinding all the terrific progress on electric vehicles and renewables.

Koch Network was promised a fossil fuel fascist agenda if they paid Trump. They did.

Koch has set aside $5 billion to rule from beyond the grave, like Bradley did against the Voting Rights Act.

@vermontgmg.bsky.social Absolutely — this isn’t just a policy misstep, it’s a full-scale step backward. American families and businesses were just starting to feel the benefits of cleaner energy and more affordable EVs, and now all that momentum is at risk. It really highlights how much was undone in a single year of regressive policy.
