Or a family scrambling for coverage after receiving a “notice of non-renewal,” or stuck paying for “forced place” insurance on their mortgage.

Behind these brutal cost numbers are human stories: for instance, a young couple whose first home purchase fell apart over this.
Even the WSJ sees the home insurance meltdown. It’s a big expense to start with, so these big increases can be devastating. 🧵
The damage to DHS was 100% Republican confusion and disarray.
76 days of Republicans’ disarray and confusion led to accepting the offer Senate Democrats made on Day 1.
First, after much delay, Republican Senators agreed unanimously; then the House Republicans, after more delay, ultimately also agreed.

Big Oil’s scheme to get the courts to shield the industry’s ability to pollute for free and greenlight the destruction of our planet continues.
Clean energy is winning. Trump’s fossil fuel corruption just (a) raises energy costs for America and (b) hobbles U.S. competitiveness.

“Trump’s video-game war “excursion” has turned a dying clerical regime into a tight-knit military regime that has now tasted the enormous power of controlling the Strait of Hormuz.” (Credit Sidney Blumenthal)
This is not just a dagger to family finances; it’s a price of corruption. Fossil fuel pays billions to Republicans to ignore all of this.
So they do.
Climate risk to insurance collapse to mortgage meltdown to property values crash.
How often have I warned? And so many others?
Big Oil is using Trump's war to drive up prices and rake in record profits.
In just the first three months of 2026, BP made $3,200,000,000.
That’s over $266 million per week.
$34 million per day.
$402 per *second.*
My Windfall Profits Bill would return those profits to you.
Trump wanted Comey charged and Blanche is desperate to stay on the job.
Amazing graphic of US drought crisis, reaching beyond “extreme” into “exceptional.” New levels of extreme weather from fossil fuel pollution.
This month, we stand with Armenians around the world in recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
We remember the over 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire and reaffirm our commitment to Armenians whose culture and sovereignty remain under threat.
Trump is killing U.S. auto competitiveness to pay back his big fossil fuel donors. Good thing he didn’t take big bucks from harness-makers.
To compete internationally, we need to make competitive vehicles, not ones idiotically designed for maximum fuel consumption.
U.S. auto companies compete in world markets, unless we want to be like the Russian Lada, only sold domestically because it sucks.
Trump is paying off big corporations, with taxpayer money, to stop inexpensive clean energy, forcing the grid to buy more expensive polluting energy from Trump’s corrupt fossil fuel donors.
It’s a racket, raising costs on purpose, to enrich political donors.
I want to see the Judiciary Committee strong. But it’s setting dangerous precedents.
The parallel crash danger is climate risk crashing insurance markets, which crashes mortgage markets, which crashes property values, which crashes the economy, 2008-style. Climate denial is getting increasingly economically dangerous. Indeed, it’s already begun.
