Any bets that the real reason Trump is upset with the $90+ billion in excess profits that fossil fuel giants raked in due to his insane war with Iran is that they didn't pay him a 'gratuity' for causing their windfall?
Trump says Exxon and Chevron made 'too much money' off high oil prices during Iran conflict: 'I don't like it'
U.S. crude oil prices have gained about 20% since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28.

The guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.
What they're doing is so inhumane. It’s terrible for our country. These are people who escaped for their lives and have invested in our country. Many of them are home health workers taking care of our families. The Senate needs to pass a TPS extension, like the House did, and protect these families
CBS News@cbsnews.com · last wk.Ohio's GOP governor calls Trump's plans to deport Haitians a "mistake": "You'd be sending people … back to hell."
Republican members of Congress—all of whom have sworn loyalty to a man, Trump, who scientific journals confirm caused at least 400,000 needless deaths during the pandemic—are today calling for prison for a man who *saved* millions of lives in the same period. A *disgusting* day.
Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.

For anyone who needs encouragement this is precisely how to fight fascism! #SheShed #ImpeachIndictRemove
There is one effective way to reduce the spread and severity of measles: Vaccination. And RFK Jr. has undermined it at every turn. He is a hazard to our health and must resign.
It’s been a year since Donald Trump slashed SNAP funding in his “Big Beautiful Bill.” Here’s how many people have lost food assistance so far.
Never lose sight of the utter stupidity of Trump whining that anytime he or a Republican loses, it was rigged, yet any time or a Republican wins, there's nothing wrong with the election.
Did you catch this? Last week, U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn told a Memphis reporter that the $30 million state incentives package for Starbucks would be recouped in six months through payroll taxes. FACT CHECK: Tennessee does NOT have payroll/income taxes.
Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?
It is a carnival of corruption. Congressional stock trading. First Family crypto schemes. A secondhand jumbo jet. These are not academic concerns. They hurt all of us - and they are related to the reasons we can't have common-sense outcomes that most Americans actually agree on.
The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.
2nd year in a row CNBC ranked Tennessee last in quality of life under @GovBillLee and the Republican supermajority: “factors such as crime rates, air quality, health care, availability of childcare, inclusiveness of state laws & reproductive rights…” www.cnbc.com/2026/07/11/w...
Kanew: “It’s one thing to run from Democrats, but Marsha is refusing to debate REPUBLICAN primary opponents for Governor. Even @govbilllee debated. This is NEW… Republican voters: How can you be ok with someone being THIS unconcerned with earning your vote?” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DaoDAfm...

Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028. You can believe me now or believe me in 2028. Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.
He’s screwed up the reflecting pool. He’s screwed up the White House grounds. He destroyed the East Wing & the Rose Garden. He’s failed in Iran, fouled-up the Mideast & ruined relations with our allies. And yet the Republicans continue to stick with him as if he’s not demented & destroying America.
JD Vance is now implicated in the Epstein cover-up. He needs to testify.
I urge people to keep their guard up and be ready to fight. The mid-terms are NOT guaranteed. We have to fight voter suppression, gerrymandering intimidation, false claims, DOJ interference, and more. Check your registrations BEFORE voting. Spread the word.
If you shop at Hobby Lobby, your money is going to end civil rights for LGBT people. Everyone can do what they want with their money, but don't call yourself an ally.
Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops. These are sick, corrupt people.
