Americans are in for a crude awakening at the pump. Trump’s illegal war in Iran is costing people $1.8 billion more per week on gas. That money could fund home energy tax credits, electric vehicle rebates, and more. We must end the war and break our addiction to fossil fuels.
Graphic that reads, "Trump is waging war at the pump." Below it reads "National gas prices:" with a crossed out gas price reading $2.94 for One Month Ago and a gas price reading $3.63 for Today. Below it reads "Massachusetts gas prices:" with a crossed out gas price reading $2.90 for One Month Ago and a gas price reading $3.46 for Today. Below it reads "Americans are spending $1.8 Billion more per week on gas."
Graphic reads $1.8 Billion per week could have paid for: 
A big tax rebate on a new electric vehicle for 240,000 driver
New solar panels on 59,000 homes
Energy efficient home tax credits for 562,500 homes
***Republicans cut all of these programs in the Big Ugly Bill
A Massachusetts small business owner testified this week that health insurance premiums for his business are rising 27% this year. This is not sustainable. When MAGA Republicans refuse to lower health care costs, small businesses and workers pay the price.
A win for veterans. A federal judge saw through Trump’s illegal union-busting of VA workers. The dedicated people who care for veterans every day now have their labor rights protected. When the VA is strong, our veterans benefit.
Screenshot of headline reading: 
Judge reverses Trump administration order to scuttle VA labor contract

The U.S. District judge said the VA’s termination of the collective bargaining agreement appeared to be an act of retaliation against public-sector unions.
It’s simple: more exposure to ethylene oxide means more cases of cancer for workers and communities. Trump’s EPA is rolling back our protections against these toxic emissions—we can’t let the EPA put polluter profits over the health of our families.

Breaking News: The EPA moved to weaken limits on emissions of ethylene oxide, a cancer-causing gas.

$11.3 billion could fund the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)—helping millions of families afford heating and cooling while electricity costs skyrocket – in MA for 75 years.
Trump launched this reckless war “hoping” to change the regime in Iran, “hoping” Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz, and “hoping” gas prices would not go up. There was no plan. Hope is not a military strategy. This war is a tragic failure.
Iran's new supreme leader says Strait of Hormuz will remain closed in first purported message to public
The oil market is also seeing historic disruptions as Iran escalates attacks on global energy supplies and its neighbors.
