Treasury Secretary Scot Bessent said that to calm the markets, the United States was thinking about releasing more from the Strategic Oil Reserve, which the administration had failed to refill to capacity in the run-up to the war. But more strikingly, he has discussed suspending sanctions on Iranian oil already at sea — in an effort to free up roughly 140 million barrels — as another way to tamp down prices.

What a paragraph.

My dog got into good trouble in DC today. We live in Gettysburg that had 2,400 downtown rally today. We drove to DC with our dog, a Polish Lowland Sheepdog, so he knows about fascism.

This movie is rated low, don’t believe it! 10✨ its movie about a dystopian future and how we got there is documented. Like the trailer says, “this is not fiction, this is not a documentary, this is a warning.”

I’m sorry, yes, that was Reagan. Clinton got rid of Glass Steagal which kept investment banks and commercial bank separate. My bad!

I don’t think it was the baby boomers. Our parents generation is the generation that got the most help from government and they were the generation that loved Reagan’s pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.

Clinton took the democrats to the corporate side, made welfare moms go to work & got rid of the Fairness Doctrine. Obama gave us a Heritage Foundation healthcare plan. The gop does whatever crazy thing their base wants, Dems not so much. Average Americans need representation!

This is what this ignorant administration is doing to kids! I do not believe these ICE Agents are police officers or train in law and order. They are the new Gestapo!

Clinton and Obama and democrats have been too republican lite for too long! That’s how we got Trump.

Fact check: true

"Evil" is an insufficient word to describe the racist fascist Nazi fucks causing this devastation.

Let them eat cake!

He is at risk by a crime boss in office.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Don’t make it harder to figure out than it is. You guys make so much money, you really don’t know anymore what it’s like out here in the real world. I’ve been a very Democrat since 1983 and have knocked on doors in 7 states. I’ve talked to voters. That’s the problem.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Average ppl don’t know who 2 believe bc there hasn’t been bootstraps 4 a long time. Used 2 B U could be born anywhere in the US & become POTUS. Not any more. If you are born to poor parents, forget it! That is the problem. Don’t make it harder 2 figure out than it is.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social I just watched Sen. McCaskill & Mr. Smikle talking abt what dems need 2 do. Don’t know what they R talking about. Make a big huge difference in the average person’s life & they will remember. Been a long time since Ds actually did that. Ds have been GOP lite since Reagan
