r/t John Deaton for US Senate I'm constantly told a U.S. Senator can't make Massachusetts more affordable. That's simply not true. Energy policy drives the cost of everything from your electric bill to the price of groceries. That's why it matters to have a senator who actually spends time...

Good morning to everyone in Massachusetts who know why we have sky-high costs. Massachusetts is now one of the most expensive states in the country to live in. Housing is out of reach, energy bills keep climbing, groceries cost more every month, and taxes never seem to go down. This didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of decades of one-party Democrat control on Beacon Hill. Look around the country. The highest cost-of-living states are almost all Democrat-run. Meanwhile, many of the most affordable states are run by Republicans. That’s not coincidence. It’s policy. Democrats love to talk about affordability, but their policies make nothing more affordable. More regulation, higher taxes, higher energy costs, and endless spending drive businesses and families out of Massachusetts every year. Even wages tell the story. Working people felt relief when Republicans pushed for economic growth and fiscal restraint. When Democrats regain full control, spending explodes and real wages fall behind the cost of living. There is a clear pattern. One-party rule makes Massachusetts more expensive and less livable. Common-sense conservative leadership would lower costs, keep businesses here, and make this state affordable again for families who just want a fair shot. Massachusetts doesn’t need excuses. It needs change.

"The people of D.C. need a fighter for their delegate in Congress, and that's why I'm proud to endorse DC Councilmember Robert White. Robert is a fifth-generation Washingtonian who has led the charge to build more affordable housing, expand access to Pre-K, and he stood up to Donald Trump when federal agents targeted the residents of our nation's capital. This election matters for working families." -Senator Elizabeth Warren- Elizabeth Warren

US Secretary of Energy Wright: "The whole idea of small modular [nuclear] reactors is everything in our lifetimes that is built in a factory has become cheaper and faster to build. When you stick-build something on location, those things have become more expensive and slower... the more you can build in quantity in manufacturing facilities, we're very good at driving the cost of those down. To build nuclear systems and nuclear supply chain at scale, that's the road to lower cost." From Relentless pod with Ti Morse.

Senator Michael Barrett is saying the quiet part out loud here. Massachusetts is planning to dramatically expand the electric grid, build more offshore wind and solar, electrify homes and transportation, and expects utilities to “get very, very rich.” Why? Because Beacon Hill’s net-zero mandates require it. This isn’t about lowering your electric bill. It’s about spending billions to reshape how every Massachusetts resident heats their home, drives their car, and uses electricity, while forcing more people to buy electricity through electrification mandates powered by some of the most expensive forms of energy generation possible. The Senate energy bill doubles down on this agenda instead of addressing the affordability and reliability crisis families are facing today.

Controlling energy costs and forcing a rapid shift to intermittent alternative energy sources are not compatible goals. Governor Maura Healey is doubling down on them anyway. “I’m not backing down,” she says, while pushing for more executive orders to lock in Massachusetts’ energy mix for the next 10 years. Solar. Wind. Geothermal. Battery storage. Demand response. All dictated from the top. Massachusetts residents are already paying some of the highest electricity prices in the country. Instead of reassessing what’s driving those costs, the response is more mandates, more targets, and more political stubbornness. This isn’t flexibility and this is not listening to people's needs. It’s doubling down on a strategy that’s already making energy less affordable.

Massachusetts now has a brand-new $91,000-a-year statewide “heat resilience officer.” So naturally, we had a question. 👀 How exactly is this new position, and the policies being promoted along with it, going to lower energy costs for Massachusetts ratepayers? Katie Schlick’s plans include changing building codes, expanding government involvement, and pushing the state further toward its net-zero mandates. That all sounds pretty expensive to us! Massachusetts families are already struggling with some of the highest energy costs in the country. They deserve to know whether all of this is actually going to make energy more affordable, or just add another layer of government while costs keep climbing. We tried to ask. Watch what happened. 👇

That's why Trump should be impeached, that's why Democrats should file impeachment articles against Trump, that's why the 25th Amendment to remove him should be invoked." A sitting U.S. Senator. On camera. Calling for the President's removal. Because he threatened to annihilate 90 million people.

Maura Healey has launched her reelection campaign by claiming she will fix the mess her own administration created, then immediately pivoting to attacking President Trump. That is not real leadership. Here is the reality: Massachusetts ranks 47th in the nation for affordability, a national leader for outmigration, and families are paying some of the highest energy bills in America. Those are not talking points. They are the direct results of failed leadership. While she deflects and shifts blame, families pay the price. I am running for Governor to put people first, protect your wallets, and keep the American Dream alive in Massachusetts.

Ever wonder why your electric bill is so high? Take a closer look. You might be surprised to learn that nearly half of what you pay isn't for the electricity you actually used. It's extra fees, climate surcharges, and state government-driven costs. You deserve affordable, reliable energy, not bills loaded with extra charges. As governor, I'll lower your energy costs by cutting the extra fees and increase energy solutions like natural gas.

Good morning to everyone in Massachusetts trying to make sense of this so-called “utility relief.” Here’s what they’re not saying clearly enough. On your electric bill for February and March, 15% is being covered by the state. You don’t repay that on your utility bill. But State money is taxpayer money. That 15% is coming from funds collected from all of us through taxes. So, while you won’t see it added back to your electric bill later, it's still public money being used to offset high energy costs. The other portion? That’s deferred. You will pay that back over the following months, just without interest. For your gas bills in February and March, the entire 10% is deferred by the utility. You'll repay it spread out from May through October 2026 (when usage is lower). So, here’s the real breakdown: Part of it is a temporary payment shift. Part of it is taxpayer-funded assistance. None of it actually lowers the long-term cost of energy. And that’s the bigger issue. If energy prices remain high, are we solving the problem or just moving the numbers around? Massachusetts families don’t just need bills rearranged. We need the actual cost of living to come down.

.Senator Thom Tillis on Senator Alex Padilla: "Why don't both sides own up to the fact that they both own some responsibility for what happened there? Senator Padilla should have found a better way to elevate his concerns to the Secretary of Homeland Security, rather than going in there and having that dust up. Having said that there were clearly people in that building that knew he was a U.S. Senator, so the minute he was removed from that situation in that briefing room, then they should have treated him with respect, and allowed him to disburse. It was disgusting to me to see somebody wrestled to the floor, anybody, but particularly a U.S. Senator that's in a federal building." Full video here:
