A BFD. As people get ready to fill their heating oil tanks for the winter, they learn it will cost 80% more than last year. Your early Christmas Gift from Trump and the Republican Party is that your Christmas present budget will now go to their friends in the oil business.

Where I live in Canada the price of diesel at the pumps yesterday was $2.749/litre. That equals $10.45/us gallon. And it’s just beginning. Thanks for letting a child rapist run for president. And let him win. If he really did.

Heating oil costs less to refine than other petroleum products used as fuels. In addition to the mad King of Corruption and the craven congressional Repugnicans driving up the cost of crude, the suppliers are sticking it to a captive market because they can.

And for how many people* is their INCOME up 80%, too?? . . *people not actively enabling the #TrumpRegime, of course.

Just in time for the mid-terms too. I do wonder who's up for re-election and what they did to try to stop this. a) Susan Collins. b) Fuck all. #VoteBlue

By January, the oil will cost double what it does now, if you can even find it. I really am worried for this winter for anyone that depends on fuel oil, especially those on a fixed income.

That's because she doesn't live in Maine full time, either. She only comes up here for campaign stops and her summer vacation. Like any other tourist. She lives in Washington, DC with her very rich husband.

The petro chemical fraternity are quite happy about this development. Trump and his sycophants don't give a rats ass about the average American family, while they all eat cake.

Northern Maine is gonna be rough this winter. I live here. Fuel prices are set to average 1500 dollars to fill a tank. Food pantry lines are long. Check on neighbors. Donate if you can. Please do not VOTE against your own interests

Northern Maine voted for all of this, deeply MAGA as it is. May they reap the full 'benefit' of their choices and suffer in appropriate measure this winter. Not donating to a food pantry or anything else that might accidentally help them; I already pay taxes for that. Fuck MAGA, let 'em freeze.

Yup. My donation aren't going outside of Minneapolis at this point. They definitely won't go to an area that voted MAGA. Those people need the find out phase of their fucking around.

step into the time machine, dial it back a few decades & see that rfkjr introduced himself to the world by championing getting cheaper home heating oil for cash strapped families, he appeared on numerous shows seeking donations…wonder how this phony feels in the present

I’m afraid we’ll hear terrible stories about Mainers confronted by additional thousands of dollars for heating oil this winter. During a hard cold stretch, a house can easily burn 15+ gallons a day. This winter, that may = $75-100. $100 A DAY TO NOT FREEZE? Thank Susan Collins and Republicans

As someone who lived in the Mid Atlantic, but had family living in New England, one thing I’ve never understood is the persistent heavy reliance in New England on trucked-in oil to heat peoples homes. 1/

Are there not enough natural gas pipelines & infrastructure to eventually replace all those old oil burning heating systems? And of course there’s always electric now, though I personally think electric heat sucks and doesn’t “feel right“. 2/

But yeah, having all those trucks running around pumping fuel oil in peoples basement tanks….It always struck me a strange like they were stuck in the 1940s or something.

🗣️HEY, MAGA! Checking in with you about your energy prices. How's it going?? "Under the Trump economic plan, we will cut your energy prices in half within—mark it down—with ... and you can get very angry at me if we don't do it. Within 12 months, your energy prices will be cut in half." #VoteBlue

May I just add it’s not just you in the US he has done this to, but also to the rest of the f’ing world. Thanks for that btw you racist, bigoted, misogynist shower of fucktards that voted, not forgetting those who didn’t bother to vote at all, for a bastard child rapist. You sick fucks.

It's been the peddled narrative to the hard working labor class for as far back as any of us can remember! Our mistake has always been we rarely if ever asked WHO'S PRIMARILY BENEFITING "in the richest country in the world"? Because it damn sure ISN'T THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Compare Trump’s extra $ on tariffed road salt that Susan Collins avoided with the $$$$$$$$ hike in home heating oil you pay for Trump’s war. Say, “Thank you, Republicans.”

But at least the salt for the road will be exempt of tariffs thanks to Senator Collins. Of course she voted to support the war , the Trump’s tariffs and the commercial war with Canada just to name a few but at least the road salt will not be affected by tariffs but everything else is.

To all my Bar Harbor Friends: I have a place in Hilton Head, SC that you can borrow this winter. It sleeps up to 6 (more if they're kids). My other place is in Sylva, NC--colder than SC, but not as cold as Maine.

And after your heating bills go up, so will your healthcare costs and your groceries and your rent, and and and...Let's thank the #Republicans now, by voting them all out of office in the mid-terms.

Also, SCOTUS again. Trump has already appointed 3 lifetime justices. Do we want to him to appoint 1-2 more, potentially 5 of the 9 justices DJT picks?

80% more to heat your home this winter and Trump calls himself the Christmas president. Your kid's Christmas budget now belongs to Big Oil. The 'drill baby drill' crowd is drilling a hole straight through your wallet and calling it a gift.

Low income folks: ✔️Many states have heat assistance programs. ✔️Check with your local social services offices ✔️Requires an easy income verification paperwork. ✔️Sent mine yesterday. ✔️Havent paid a natural gas bill in 4 years.

My Red Diesel for my Monitor heater has gone up 2 1/2 times what it cost me last year in October 2025! Hail to the "pus-dripping infection" that America voted into power two times. It says more about them than it does about him!

People are going to freeze to death - Especially the people on fixed income - children and the elderly - It is a big fucking deal! It's too much with everything else through the roof as well. Now we know why Les Miserables is the oligarchy class favorite. Vote them out!

A stupid, foolish war to Putin’s delight. America lost spending power, planes, bases, Allies. Unfucking this is a 20 year job

As a Senator, Collins voted for passage of Piggy Trump's Big Ugly Bill. That bill has cut medical subsidies, food assistance and SNAP benefits, cut free school meal eligibility for those children who were dropped from SNAP - and more. The money saved went to tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy

This ought to get Susan Collins kicked out of the Senate. Troy Jackson needs to be elected to save America and Mainers.

Last year, The Dolt said it would be a 2 Doll Christmas. Maybe a few pencils, too, don’t forget that. I notice The Dolt isn’t opining on gifts this year—but we’re going to shoot for 5 Gallons-of-Heat for Christmas gifts. And maybe some imported meat sludge, if that heating oil’s not too spendy.

Looking at that wood, I guess they also have a lot of fireplaces. They'll need them this winter. But, hey, thanks to Susan Collins the towns will have salt for their snowy roads. She didn't help lower the price of heating oil or FOOD, but she helped with salt.

That’s a tough burden for families already trying to make ends meet.Heating is a basic necessity,especially during the winter,and noone shouldhave to choose between staying warm and affording Christmas.I trulyhope leaders remember the people whoare feeling the impact most and worktoward real relief.

That's been their plan all along; Erase what's left of the middle class, control ALL the wealth, thus controlling the majority of the people. We can't have nice things b/c the greed of the wealthy can't be satisfied.

Until the majority of 'We The People' have had ENOUGH. Perhaps some people in Maine might need to double, triple-up during the coldest weeks and months this winter at Susan Colin's cozy and undoubtedly WARM home. I'm sure she'd be more than happy to be hospitable to her constituents 😏

It's not just mid-coast Maine, although that's not her district, either. I live in her district and believe me, there are a LOT of scared people living here wondering if they'll make it through the winter. Collins HAS TO GO!

What I want to know is where is the shortage? If we have a shortage, why aren't they rationing the oil and the beef and all the other stuff that they're raising prices on?
