“Chevron just announced its highest quarterly earnings ever. Shell clocked its second-highest quarterly profits.

AD DROP: "Michigan First" Not tech CEOs Not Wall Street And definitely NOT hyperscale data centers I'm running for Congress in #MI07 to stand with my neighbors. To protect our families, homes, and futures from corporations and culture wars. We Will Win — together.
