One set of rules for them. The bill for you.
Boulder, Colorado is suing oil companies over climate damage. The Supreme Court will help decide whether the companies must pay. When they do not, local taxpayers cover the wreckage from fires and floods. If you lean right and are tired of special favors, you are not alone.
California just won the final fight to keep the consumer watchdog funded. A court called the Trump administration’s push to choke off that funding a “transparent partisan move,” and it failed. CNBC also reported that a powerful figure in the United Arab Emirates agreed to back a 49 percent stake in a Trump family crypto bank venture. That expanded the family’s financial reach as their allies tried to defund the consumer watchdog that takes on credit card and mortgage scams. If oil avoids the bill and the consumer watchdog gets targeted for defunding, then families eat the cost. Boulder’s case shows cities must sue to shift costs back to the companies that caused the damage. That is time and money your town would rather spend fixing roads and keeping clinics open.
You do not have to switch teams to say this crosses the line. In 2026, retire the officials who put donors and family deals ahead of your household, and back leaders who will make polluters pay and keep the consumer watchdog strong.
- Ask your city or county how much climate damage is hitting your budget and who is paying it today
- Call your member of Congress and say you want stable funding for the consumer watchdog that takes on scams
- Vote in 2026 to replace the officials who chose donors over your household
- Check your voter registration at Vote.gov
