With Virginia diesel at a record for 15 straight days, Rep. John McGuire blamed Biden-era refinery closures, not the Iran war.

Bruce Westerman told Arkansans that Big Tech data centers get a bad rap and will actually lower electric bills.
Wisconsin diesel hit a record $6.11 and Green Bay gas reached $4.30. Tiffany's answer is repealing a state markup law worth about 50 cents. The thing actually moving the price is a war he has voted five times not to end.
Six roll calls to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran. James voted no on all six, the last on September 15. That week Michigan regular went from $4.31 to $4.89 and diesel set a record. Then he went on the radio to talk about the affordability crisis.
Westerman told Arkansans data centers get a 'bad rap' and that the Public Service Commission needs to be 'on their A game.' Entergy Arkansas started billing customers in June for three unfinished plants in his own district — one built to feed Google — and 23 electric-power PACs have given him $128,000.
Lee Zeldin's EPA canceled Solar for All in August 2025, calling it a 'boondoggle.' On September 18, a federal judge ruled the agency had no legal authority to do it and that Congress clearly meant for the money to keep flowing. The EPA says it may appeal.
With Michigan gas near $5 in large part because of an Iran war he called a 'win-win-win,' Mike Rogers is calling for a gas tax holiday. As a state senator he voted to raise the gas tax, and he once said suspending it was 'not a foolproof method.'
Rick Jackson is running for Georgia governor on housing costs. Records show he sued Forsyth County for approving apartments near his 47,000-square-foot estate and worried about the 'type of people' who would live there.
The third-ranking Republican in the House told Fox Business that Republicans should talk up groceries that have gotten cheaper, and named ground beef at under $2 a pound. The Bureau of Labor Statistics puts it at $6.92 — and the last month it averaged under $2 was July 2003.
