Utilities' focus should be bringing down costs for consumers — not influencing elections.

“These utility companies are raking in record profits while small businesses and families are struggling to pay their electricity bills,” said @alexfromnj.bsky.social.

Read NPR's annotated fact check of President Trump's State of the Union As President Trump delivered his State of the Union address, reporters from across NPR's newsroom, are fact checking his speech and offer context.

Reporters from across our newsroom fact checked President Trump's State of the Union speech — offering context on topics like immigration, the economy, tariffs and foreign policy.

Trump's government has protected and pardoned criminals while violating the human and civil rights of countless innocents and alienating our allies across the globe. Congress and SCOTUS must act to rein this President in.

The only important question tonight is what are Congress and SCOTUS going to do about this President and his attacks on our values, democracy and the American people? What will they do to restore law and order, and hold criminals accountable once again?
