The funding lapse occurred after Democrats refused to approve continued funding for DHS following the killings by federal agents of US citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, and demanded new restrictions on immigration enforcement. Among their conditions were requirements that federal agents wear body cameras and cease wearing masks, follow a code of conduct, and obtain arrest warrants for people in the country illegally. Absent bold and meaningful change, there is no credible path forward with respect to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill next week,” Jeffries said. On Monday, the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, announced all federal agents in Minneapolis will immediately begin wearing body cameras, with plans to expand their usage nationwide. Trump largely avoided discussing Democrats’ demands when he signed the funding measure in the Oval Office, instead touting his efforts to prevent people from crossing the southern border.

Instead, average electricity prices over the past year have risen by about 6.7%, while natural gas prices have increased by 10.8%. Energy use does not rise in proportion to income, meaning energy costs take up a far larger share of household budgets at the bottom than at the top. If the goal is lower energy bills, policy must focus on lowering system costs and reducing household exposure to price volatility. An administration that claims to stand with consumers cannot continue to write energy policy for fossil-fuel producers and expect a different outcome. Lower energy prices will not come from propping up high-cost power plants, dismantling clean energy, or exposing households to volatile global fuel markets.
