*US INVOKES DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT FOR SABLE OFFSHORE CORP.
Trump using the Defense Production Act to get around California law. There's no way any oil will be pumped for at least a year, or a decade.
Another big win for the lawyers who will fight this in court... (sigh)

Trump makes it sound like you should be grateful for high oil and gasoline prices because "we make a lot of money."

You couldn't make this up

Putin is supporting Iran with intelligence in the war

Yet Trump is considering unsanctioning more Russian oil according to Bessent

A clueless US Administration, in way over its head

This could be a ketchup alert day at the White House. Terrible jobs numbers at a time when surveys show people are worried about losing their jobs. And gasoline prices continue to jump. Double-dose of bad news for those obsessed and fearful of the midterms.

Really, everyone following Trump's Iran war should read this. Bet you weren't thinking about this at all...

On @bloombergtv.bsky.social, #Fed Governor Stephen Miran kind of sums up where the Open Market Committee is now, four days into Trump's Iran War: "I think (Fed policy makers) are more generally where they were last week. And it's just too early to change your mind."
