Gas prices are up 24.6% from a year ago and still significantly higher than they were before the Iran War. Meanwhile, the world's 8 biggest oil companies have made a $93B profit windfall in just the last three months. Big Oil is raking it in as the world burns — and we're paying for it.
Thank you!!!

But, my latest filing on the eve of a big in-person hearing tomorrow is designed to blast Blanche into compliance.

Grateful to be included on a list of defenders of our democracy. Thank you @markjacob.bsky.social 🙏🏼
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2d agoWe’re in scary times, but lots of folks in media are doing their damnedest to defend democracy. My Stop the Presses newsletter praises 25 of them and also cites other fierce fighters. See if you agree.

CALM DOWN Trump’s vaccine EO has SOME teeth—but not the fangs the headlines suggest. He can reshape federal vaccine policy and agencies. What he CAN’T do by executive order is simply rewrite state vaccination laws or eliminate state school mandates. Announcement ≠ authority.

Lies. It's 200 times when solar panels are "mentioned" in the fire report. e.g. “the fire did not reach the solar panel”
