The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World. I won’t ever let that happen! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

We briefly interrupt the news to bring you a cat.

This is Inari surveying her corner of Scotland.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, did not make a public or televised appearance; his message was instead read on Iranian television.

Ofgem receives 18,000 objections over Elon Musk's bid to become UK energy supplier Elon Musk continues to cut an extremely unpopular figure in the UK, with thousands of Brits rejecting his latest 'power grab'.

Agreed. Hope everyone boycotts Musk and Tesla. They may have been granted the license (despite more than 18,000 letters being sent objecting to it), but it doesn’t mean people need to sign up to them being their energy provider.

The big decision to release oil reserves yesterday has had little effect. Price per barrel soared above $100. It’s now hovering in the high 90s. Traders are expecting Trump and Netanyahu’s war to be prolonged.

Until such time as these corrections are as prominent as the original lies this problem will continue

Corrections should be published in exactly the same place as the original story. And if doesn’t fill the same space, leave the space around it blank to highlight it.

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.

Agreed on Ukraine and other news—following sources directly is useful.

On the trending thing, I’m just sincerely disenchanted; looking at the list it appears that while genocide is happening, what people really want to talk about is reality TV and idiotic staged wrestling.

Netanyahu would welcome regime change, but main goal is to deliver as much death and destruction to enemy populations as possible with US, and rest of world, paying the bills. Trump missed chance for an early declaration of victory, now has to hope something turns up.

True. Upset & appalled that it seems to barely be getting noticed now. Wish people would at least acknowledge it’s happening & condemn it alongside all the other atrocities. Given all that’s going on, I look at the tending topics and can’t help but think, ‘seriously, WTF is wrong with this world?’

A few hours ago Israel struck a camp for displaced Palestinians. Apparently Israeli military called people in the camp, gave them 5min notice to evacuate, then bombed their tents.
