U.S. Gas Prices Jump Again as Oil Tops $90 for First Time in Years

Reckless foreign policy, real-world consequences. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/business/aaa-gas-prices.html

Kristi Noem is out, but the damage is done.

Families are still waiting for help. Congress must fund FEMA and remove the red tape to relief aid.

Kristi Noem all but killed FEMA. Will her departure save it? Embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem froze FEMA spending and slashed staff. It may well have been illegal.

Removing Noem is only meaningful if it leads to rebuilding a functional FEMA that can actually respond when disasters hit.

Tech companies signed a nonbinding pledge to Trump that they’d power their own AI data centers. Too bad he’s blocking the fastest, cheapest way to add power capacity: clean energy. So rates will keep rising anyway. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/03/04/trump-data-centers-energy-costs/

Trump’s energy delusions won’t save us from the price tag of war, he’s gutted the cheapest options here at home: clean energy.

A disastrous tenure ends: under Kristi Noem, DHS reflected a flagrant disregard for human life and a pattern of failures that undermined the agency’s core mission of keeping Americans safe.

This is a stunt. Experts say it won’t stop data centers from driving up utility costs. Blocking clean energy here at home only makes it harder to lower bills—real relief comes from building a cleaner, more affordable, climate-resilient energy system.

Trump Announces A.I. Industry Pledge to Pay for Power

Trump’s data center “pledge” is a toothless political stunt. Data center demand is skyrocketing, and Trump is blocking the only energy fast and cheap enough to meet it: clean energy. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/technology/ai-energy-pledge-white-house-trump.html

Trump promised to cut energy bills in half. Instead, utility prices spiked 13%, and his reckless moves in the Middle East are pushing costs even higher.

Trump launched military action in one of the world’s most critical oil and gas regions—destabilizing global energy markets while gutting clean energy at home. Instead of real energy independence through affordable clean power, he’s putting Americans on the hook for higher prices.

Noem faces GOP heat over $220M ad that boosted ‘your name recognition' Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday was met with skepticism from Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), who argued during a hearing that a more than $200 million ad campaign was primarily “effec...

Kristi Noem burned $220 million on ads boosting her own name—while sitting on $1.3 billion in FEMA mitigation funds that could help states prepare for disasters. That’s not leadership. That’s neglect. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5764784-kristi-noem-kennedy-ad-campaign/

After the storm passes, the danger doesn’t. Climate change is driving stronger hurricanes and brutal heat, putting recovery workers in harm’s way long after the winds die down.

Trump’s strikes on Iran could cost American economy as much as $210 billion, top budget expert says | Fortune “One problem I have with cost-of-war calculations is that they really do ignore the counterfactual,” Kent Smetters of the Penn Wharton Budget Model told Fortune.

Meanwhile, our hard-won clean energy gains are being dismantled—and Americans are left paying higher bills. That’s the Trump way.

Trump says the U.S. is 'richer and stronger than ever'—why some Americans don't feel it President Donald Trump touted economic wins during his State of the Union address. But Americans and economists say affordability is still a major issue.

“Richer and stronger than ever” is a bold claim when groceries, rent, and utilities are still squeezing families.

WATCH THIS: Thom Tillis torches Kristi Noem's policy requiring her personal sign-off for FEMA disaster aid over $100K—leaving billions in aid relief sitting on her desk while Hurricane Helene survivors wait for her to clear the red tape.

Trump’s escalation in Iran is already pushing oil prices higher—and experts say gas could rise 5–10 cents per DAY.

Why Renewables Beat Fossil Fuels for Data Centers Talking with Climate Power senior advisor Jesse Lee.

If tech giants want to build data centers, the message is simple: power them with clean energy—not coal and gas—and don’t pass the cost on to ratepayers. https://heatmap.news/plus/the-fight/qa/jesse-lee-climate-power

Trump vowed “no more wars” and lower costs. Now he’s launching military action in Iran that will spike global oil prices and jack up prices at the pump.

He had the chance to build a clean energy economy to protect families from foreign oil shocks—instead, we'll foot the bill.

They say this while there will be 18+ billion tons of pollution, 58,000 early deaths, 37 million more asthma attacks, $1.4 trillion more in gas costs, and 450,000 jobs lost.

Trump’s FEMA shut down the team preparing millions of Americans for hurricanes, floods, and fires—and even trashed all the materials they would need.
