Trump Administration

We Paid $4 Billion to Make Energy More Expensive. Here’s the Receipt.

The U.S. government has spent nearly $4 billion canceling offshore wind projects—paying private firms, including a German company, billions to halt clean energy development. This isn’t deregulation; it’s a taxpayer-funded subsidy for the fossil fuel status quo. The result: higher bills, a weaker grid, and a dangerous precedent that puts a price on political reversal—and makes you pay it.

They Took Away Your Right to Sue Polluters. And That’s Exactly How They Want It.

The Trump administration is quietly eliminating the public’s right to sue polluters under environmental laws. This isn’t about efficiency—it’s about immunity.

The U.S. Is Betraying Its Own Scientists—And China Is Winning

The U.S. is slashing university research funding to pour money into AI, but the real cost is invisible: a generation of scientists lost to China, and the foundational knowledge that powers all future breakthroughs. This isn’t a trade-off—it’s self-sabotage.
