Trump executive order leads to $100 energy bill hike for hundreds in Alabama
(Popular Info) Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills. But hundreds of Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump's actions in the White House.

What Musk and Trump are doing is worse than Project 2025
(Reuters) U.S. President Donald Trumps early actions in office have in many cases expanded upon proposals from Project 2025's conservative policy blueprint that the Republican tried to distance himself from on the campaign trail, a Reuters review found. From actions halting U.S. aid abroad to fortifying the southern border and restrictions on transgender athletes, Reuters identified more than a dozen Trump executive orders or other policy moves that exceed in ambition or scope what Project 2025s 900-page Mandate for Leadership book advocated in a series of detailed policy proposals.
