Last year, a Democratic-led Congress jammed through President Joe Biden’s deceitfully titled Inflation Reduction Act. This massive spending bill had nothing to do with reducing inflation and everything to do with force-feeding leftist policy dreams on hardworking taxpayers .

This was especially clear when Democrats inserted massive amounts of Green New Deal energy handouts into the bill. And unless we change course, we very well may look back at this misguided effort as the undoing of American hegemony.

Temperatures in Texas are rising amid a June heatwave, testing the state's power grid and driving up demand for electricity.

In a June 4 tweet, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Texans can blame their higher electric bills on supporters of the Green New Deal, a-yet-to-be-passed congressional plan touted as a strategy for tackling climate change.

"The impact of President Biden being beholden to the Green New Deal radicals in his party has electricity costs through the roof in Texas," Cruz wrote in his tweet.

The Biden administration will be pushing a separate bill with climate change priorities not covered in the bipartisan infrastructure bill through the budget reconciliation process, such as mandating U.S. power companies supply zero-carbon electricity, according to a memo from two top Democrat aides.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene claims Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has agreed to debate her on the economic policy behind the Green New Deal.

Greene (R-Ga.) made the announcement on Twitter Wednesday, posting a photo of her speaking to Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on the House floor with the message, “I’m glad I ran into you today @AOC to plan our debate about the Green New Deal.”

Have you ever thought about why the polar bear is the mascot of choice for the climate movement?

As the U.S. federal government reengages with international climate policy, it should not retire the groundswell of city, state, business, and community climate action that has held the line for the last four years, but incorporate it into a reinvigorated “all in” climate diplomacy. Specifically, the Biden-Harris administration should:

The Trump campaign predicted Friday that former Vice President Joseph R. Biden’s “massive stumble” on transitioning U.S. energy production from the oil industry would dash the Democrat’s hopes in shale-rich Pennsylvania.

“This probably will put the nail in the coffin for Joe Biden in Pennsylvania,” Trump senior advisor Jason Miller told reporters on a conference call. “I think [it will affect] even states including Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota … of course, Ohio, which we already felt in pretty good position. This is really devastating.”

In the first presidential debate, in September, Donald Trump was eager to attack his opponent’s $2 trillion plan to address the climate crisis. “He’s talking about a Green New Deal,” the president said, talking over Joe Biden. In the vice presidential debate, Mike Pence likewise assailed the Green New Deal, invoking the term 11 times as a threat that “literally would crush American jobs.”

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Germany saw good demand for its first-ever green bond on Wednesday, in a landmark moment for Europe’s climate-focused finance drive.

Germany raised 6.5 billion euros from the 10-year bond, after investors queued up for over 33 billion euros, its finance agency said in a statement.

“With today’s issue of the government’s first green bond, we have taken an important step towards significantly strengthening Germany as a sustainable finance location,” German deputy finance minister Joerg Kukies told Reuters.
