Just in case anyone is confused, here's the scoop:

1) Yes, the US produces lots of oil, but that does not mean that Americans are insulated from global markets.

2) Since the Reagan Administration, US oil is traded on the global market.

3) If there is a global shortage, US consumers pay more.

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

absolutely deranged headline from the depths of hell

Schumer reiterates — again — that Senate Democrats will block the SAVE act

Crazy how Janet Mills literally defended trans athletes and told Trump to meet her in court and WON, but apparently Platner said something on a podcast so that makes him more qualified. Sure.

Facebook post from Governor Spanberger saying: "Proud of what we've accomplished in my first 50 days! 📈$575 million in new business investment 💰Advancing bills to lower housing, healthcare, and energy costs for families 🍏Working with parents and teachers to strengthen Virginia schools We’re just getting started."

These 50 days have flown by.

The business investment piece of things is underappreciated. She's always posting about a company opening a factory or HQ in VA, bringing jobs. It's not lawmaking, it's not really even policy, but it's part of the Gov's job to be a happy advocate for the Commonwealth.

A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

Ken White posted this over a year ago, I think about this often.

Indeed, assuming this represents current policy, it is an open admission that the regime change effort has failed, de-nuclearization is likewise impossible or impractical and the only objective that remains is to extricate from a costly failure.

shoplifting is bad. cheating on your taxes is bad. smoking on the train is bad. not picking up your dog’s poop is bad.

we live in a society, act like it!

The first $75,000 of income for every American family should be tax-free.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

What if the moon were made of cheese, motherfucker?

Corpus Christi careens toward water catastrophe City officials expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to Texas airports, hike gas prices and trigger a local economic dis...

City officials in Corpus Christi, Texas, expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to airports, hike gas prices “and trigger a local economic disaster without precedent.”

the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

Very Stable Genius and definitely not the mush for brains candidate.

Unsurprising.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Joe, you'll be missed. Your performance at Woodstock remains a pure moment in American history.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

The WSJ calls it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.” ⛽️

boy in retrospect, really shouldn’t have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise

Release & un-redact all the Epstein files.

I felt like Lamb ran a very low energy campaign at least here in the Harrisburg area. I ended up voting for Kenyatta because I have never been too warm in Fetterman. enthusiastically voted for him in the general though. Fetterman and his team ran a great campaign.

They should have been disciplined.

When people wax about how the DOJ to be independent, remember at least one thing: The NY field office of the FBI was wildly corrupt and actively working to help Trump in 2015-16 when its agents should have been leery of helping a known criminal.
