To the crews of those tankers: good luck with the sea mines and drones, but don’t worry. If you’re attacked, your boss is insured.

Confusing gender dysphoria with same-sex attraction is a massive category error

Many people talking about how gasoline prices at the pump have already jumped. But what should really terrify Republicans is RBOB β€” the futures price on wholesale gasoline. This is up 75 cents a gallon since its low earlier this year.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
