Steve Scalise: "When we won the majority last year, we ran on very specific things ... get energy prices under control -- we've done that."

No, you haven’t. We are paying more for electricity. Was this the GOP memo sent out today? “Be sure to blow smoke up American’s *sses at every opportunity today so that they will forget how poorly we did on Tuesday.”

To be fair they ran on a number of very specific things such as lowering gas prices, ending DEI, deporting illegals, and they have done that. But they also ran on bringing back MFG, lowering prices on everything, huge growth, etc and none of that has happened. People don’t like gaslighting

They haven't gotten energy prices under control. Setting that aside and taking him at face value (I know, I know), if prices are lower at the pump it's only because Donnie has crashed the economy through unnecessary tariffs and nonsensical trade wars.

Reminds me of when the Suns beat the Lakers and Lakers fans say, "but we beat you last season!" As if that has any bearing on they just lost and this season at all.

The only "energy" price Republicans care about is the price of gasoline & that's down about $0.016 since January. I care more about my electricity price, but gasoline prices are traditionally one of the main things discussed in relation to inflation. They're volatile & posted on big signs all over.

When your only political move is bald-faced lying you run out of moves pretty quickly. Trump told them all just to lie constantly but there were no instructions on what to do after the lying stops working and none of these people are bright enough to figure out what to do next.

Know what pisses off voters even more than having to deal with inflation? Having sleazy politicians lie to them and proclaim that prices have actually come down. Keep it up, y'all.

We’re at the point in this presidency where Trump &Rs failure is visible to the world—high grocery prices, hundreds of flights canceled,long lines at food banks, &ppl being violently dragged away—all in plain sight. Trump &Rs are destroying our country in record time.

Gas prices haven't gone down if at all where I live. Not everyone uses Regular gas, some need Premium which is $4.59, some need Diesel from 4.04 to 4.29. Odd, since we are an oil producing state!

Ha! G.O.P. tried to 'run' on any message that "had legs". That mealy-mouthed lack of substance is now boomeranging to ruin their kitchen. What was another whopper? Right here: ⤵️ "Releasing the Complete and Unredacted Trump/Epstein files."

1,097 days to go! If the U$ can last that long. The 🌏 is watching & recording the facts! Dare I say, good luck, it is a long long way to Tuesday, November 7th, 2028. Parody or not!?!? REALLY!

By gutting renewables - you can never have affordable energy! This is how you do decrease in energy costs! Entire GOP is hinged to oil and fossil fuels and America will wake up not being competitive. bsky.app/profile/drpa...

#Australia plan to force energy companies to offer free electricity to households during the day, aiming to use excess #solar capacity and rebalance the grid away from #coal and #gas. www.ft.com/content/3467...

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Nothing Trump has done re expanding oil & gas production has had an impact yet. World supply and demand for oil, and seasonal weather conditions, are the biggest determining factors re US oil & gas prices. But Trump Admin and Republicans in Congress want to take credit for things they don't control.

This is how he is using his 2nd chance at life. There is no way they think that lying about things that people can obviously see are false is a good idea.
