A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget’s rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. 

Just another way the “big beautiful bill” will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

Trump’s tax bill to cost 830,000 jobs and drive up bills and pollution emissions, experts warn

Bill will unleash millions more tonnes of planet-heating pollution and couldn’t come at a worse time, say experts

This has always been the GOP’s strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They’re trying to get away with it again.

#FEMA, which coordinates the federal response to natural disasters, has been roiled by the loss of hundreds of staff and low morale. Last week a raft of senior executives exited en masse, raising further questions about the agency’s preparedness for #hurricane season.

Hamilton came into the acting #FEMA administrator position skeptical of the agency’s mission and staff, but then contradicted radical fascist lunatic Donald #Trump, who threatened to abolish FEMA during a trip to disaster areas in #NorthCarolina and #California.

Internal review finds, “As #FEMA transforms to a smaller footprint, the intent for this #hurricane season is not well understood, thus FEMA is not ready.” FEMA’s readiness process “has been derailed this year.”

In #govspeak, not well understood = #FUBAR
