The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is depleted to its lowest levels since the mid-1980s. The ztrump regime forgot to refill the reserve before launching a massive military campaign in the Middle East.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Trump is delaying Texas Senate endorsement to pressure GOP senators on SAVE America Act Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are vying for a nod from Trump

Trump's Texas Senate endorsement stuck in Republican politics.
Paxton tied it to the Save Republicans voter suppression bill and the Senate filibuster.

Oil prices sink, stocks jump in dramatic reversal President Donald Trump's comment calling the war in Iran β€œvery complete, pretty much," sent markets sharply higher after a week of brutal losses.

The Stock market was falling but Trump has learned he can talk it up with some crazy announcements, like he has gone less crazy and peace may occur soon.

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.

Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

First up was our reporting about how DOGE operatives had arbitrarily cut aid programs, in some cases by literally clicking through a spreadsheet: propub.li/4cCsSKP

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste
