News headline from The Guardian: Trump administration Trump energy secretary says gas prices might not drop back under $3 a gallon until 2027
Today is a fine day to remind everyone that Donald Trump campaigned aggressively on promises to lower gasoline prices during his run for the presidency in 2024. They included assurances he'd lower those prices below $2 a gallon.
The big gas price slider on the Resolute Desk must be malfunctioning.

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.
The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.
Apparently like every day.
PLEASE KEEP TRACKING ICE.

Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
Straight up milking the market
