"This is a political issue that is not going to go away...inflation is only going to get stoked."

High oil prices could erase any economic benefit of Trump's big, beautiful bill tax cuts. Dan Nathan and @bhgreeley.bsky.social discuss on the #11thHour with @stephruhle.bsky.social.

Do you want a leader or a follower representing you?

The war in Iran will reach Michigan's farmers. Fuel and fertilizer is getting more expensive, just as planting season begins.

In just 2 days, Trump burned $6 BILLION on his war with Iran. He's spent billions more in the days since.

We could have DOUBLED our annual budget to help families afford child care. Or built more housing.

Instead, Trump's spent YOUR tax dollars on a war no one asked for.

Trump’s ‘roaring economy' meets a rough start to 2026 with job losses, rising gas prices and uncertainty Donald Trump promised that 2026 would be a bumper year for economic growth. Instead it's kicked off with job losses, rising gasoline prices and more uncertainty about America’s future.

Whether you’re at the gas pump, the doctor’s office, or the grocery store, you’re feeling the impact of Trump’s affordability crisis.

Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to it. Working families don’t want their hard-earned taxpayer dollars spent lighting the Middle East on fire.

If your member of Congress isn’t doing everything possible to force Trump to end this war now ... then it’s time to elect a new one. (3/3)

Trump & Netanyahu lit this fuse, which has now killed thousands, made over a million into refugees, wreaked economic havoc, led Trump to ease sanctions on Russia, done inestimable damage to U.S. credibility and international law. And for what? (2/3)

The Tennessee Legislature is focused on the wrong things. Call your legislators and ask them what they’re doing to make life more affordable for Tennesseans. 💓

#EndTheGroceryTax🛒

Donald Trump doesn’t care about how much you’re paying at the pump—he’s too busy fighting an unconstitutional, illegal war in Iran.

This war must end.

Editorial: Alaska finally gets a green light. Now let’s build. Regulatory certainty is back on the table, giving both the Ambler Road and Alaska LNG pipeline clear paths forward.

I agree! Alaskans should develop Alaska's resources for the benefit of all Alaskans. This has been decades in the making. It's time to move forward.

Trump Could Restart California Oil Pipeline With Cold War-Era Law, Opinion Says

Donald Trump's war is driving up gas prices.

But now he's using this chaos to lay the groundwork to restart offshore oil drilling in California at the sites of previous spills.

Californians do not want more drilling off of our coasts.

Renewable energy is the best way forward.

This is a two way race.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

The administration is ill-equipped to handle the basic duties of their jobs. They choose chaos and corruption over transparency and accountability.

FINALLY the plaque honoring the officers who protected our Capitol on January 6, 2021 is hanging in the U.S. Capitol.

I worked across the aisle with Sen. Tillis to get this done. Glad to see it displayed.

Pete Hegseth blew through more money at the Pentagon in a month than any single point since the height of the Iraq War. What did he spend our hard-earned tax dollars on?

Ribeye, lobster tails, and a $99,000 piano.
