From Citizens Climate Lobby:
The Senate, with its Republican majority, will begin voting on the final version of its reconciliation bill (President Trump's "One, Big, Beautiful Bill") on Monday, June 30. The Senate version phases out America’s clean energy tax credits and introduces a new tax that “…would penalize future (wind and solar) developments…” This bill will severely impact U.S. clean energy projects and the reduction of carbon emissions. It's bad news for the climate and for Americans.
The proposed tax cuts would:
- Spike household energy costs over the next decade.
- Cut hundreds of thousands of proposed jobs in industries like construction and manufacturing.
- Increase our climate pollution while decreasing our energy security.
- Reduce U.S. GDP as a result of fewer clean energy manufacturing and construction projects.
- And the new tax on future solar and wind developments would be a major blow to America’s fastest-growing energy sources.
If you are a Wisconsin resident, call Republican Senator Ron Johnson TODAY. Give your name and address and tell him you care about our environment, the climate, and a clean energy future. And tell him to vote NO on the One, Big, Beautiful Bill (which is not beautiful at all). Thank you!

From Indivisible:
The bill—the basics:
- A $3.8 trillion extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts, which overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy.
- Nearly $700 billion in Medicaid cuts, which could cause 8.6 million people to lose coverage.
- $267 billion in cuts to SNAP (food stamps)—kicking 3 million families off assistance and jeopardizing school meals for 18 million children.
- A massive increase in defense spending, plus over $100 billion for Trump’s mass deportation efforts.
- Defunding of Planned Parenthood, via a ten-year block on Medicaid reimbursements.
- Elimination of several clean energy tax credits created by the Inflation Reduction Act.
- Over $300 billion in cuts to student loan programs, including repeals of Biden-era income-driven repayment and forgiveness efforts.
- An extension of the debt ceiling, likely into 2027.
The richest Americans—those making $1 million or more—would get nearly $90,000 in tax breaks each year while low income Americans will actually lose money because of cuts to essential services and a very small tax break, just over $350 per year.
