Oil CEOs Raked in Money From Trump’s Iran War Energy executives sold stock worth $1.4 billion in the first quarter on the back of a historic shock to the world’s crude supplies.

While your gas prices are skyrocketing, Big Oil executives have cashed out $1.4 BILLION in stock in a single quarter, a 15-year peak in insider selling.

In one quarter, Chevron’s CEO sold $104M, ConocoPhillips’ Chairman & CEO sold $54.3M, and Baker Hughes’ CEO sold $33M.

Hegseth Again Threatens Attacks on Iran’s Civilian Infrastructure

Pete Hegseth stood at a Pentagon podium this weekend and threatened to bomb Iran’s civilian power grid.

Under international law, intentionally targeting civilian energy infrastructure is a war crime.

Pete Hegseth is entirely unqualified and quite dangerous. He should have never been confirmed. He should resign.

This is the Secretary of Defense threatening atrocities on live television to pressure a foreign government into a deal. That is not diplomacy. That is not how a nation bound by the rule of law operates.

This isn’t a fringe legal interpretation, it’s settled law. And the Secretary of Defense said it out loud, on camera, in front of reporters.

This is not how we treat the brave men and women who put their lives on the line in service to our nation. They deserve so much better than this.

The most powerful military in the world is failing to adequately feed its own troops. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens when a president starts a war without a plan, without congressional authorization, and without any serious thought for the people he sent to fight it.

Their families, worried that their loved ones are going hungry, are assembling care packages with food and basic supplies that cannot even be delivered, because mail to military ZIP codes across the Middle East has been indefinitely suspended because of this war.

This is completely unacceptable and Congress must investigate.

Service members aboard the USS Tripoli and USS Abraham Lincoln are rationing food and going without fresh produce.

This was a choice. Washington Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire on December 31st, and more than 20 million people woke up to higher premiums, higher deductibles, and impossible choices.

It's 3 times harder for blue states to get disaster funding under Trump The president has approved just 23 percent of blue state requests for disaster aid, compared to 89 percent for red states.

Trump approves disaster aid for red states 89% of the time.

For blue states? 23%.

When your community is underwater or burning, whether you get federal help shouldn't depend on how your state voted.

This is the most partisan abuse of disaster relief funding in the 47-year history of FEMA.

These families cooperated with investigators, and they were promised justice. This is what they got.

This settlement is unprecedented for a reason. No one who has been paying attention should be surprised whose side this Administration is really on.

These families were defrauded and displaced, and instead of compensating them, $20 million of this settlement would go to immigration enforcement that experts warn could be used against the very community that was victimized.

“A Slap in the Face”: Trump’s DOJ Plans to Settle Predatory Lending Case Without Compensating Victims The Biden administration sued a Texas land developer accused of duping tens of thousands of Hispanic residents.

This is outrageous.

The Trump DOJ is preparing to settle a major predatory lending case against a developer accused of targeting tens of thousands of Hispanic families, but not one dollar of the $68 million settlement would go to the victims.

The Department of Energy canceled 321 grants worth $7.5 billion last October. Every single one was in a state that voted against the President. Not a single project in a red state was touched.

This week, I asked Energy Secretary Wright a simple question: why?

By the end of the hearing, Secretary Wright committed on the record to reconsidering those terminations.

That commitment is now public, and you better believe I’ll be holding him to it.

The Trump Administration already answered that question themselves, admitting in a court filing that the terminations were “influenced by whether a grantee's address was located in a state that tends to elect Democratic candidates.”

Start the war, sell the weapons, and pocket the profits. This is corruption, plain and simple, and the American people deserve answers.

Company backed by Trump sons looks to sell drone interceptors to Gulf states being attacked by Iran A drone maker backed by President Donald Trump’s two oldest sons is trying to win contracts with Gulf countries under threat by Iran and protected by the U.S. military led by their father.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening here.

President Trump launched an unauthorized war against Iran. Gulf countries are now under attack and desperate for protection. And Trump’s sons just signed a deal with a drone company actively trying to sell weapons to those countries.

Trump started an illegal war without asking Congress and without asking you, the American people.

48 days later, Washington Republicans had another chance to do something about it. Enough of them chose not to, not because the law is unclear, but because they're afraid of this President.

I voted to reassert Congress's authority. My Republican colleagues voted to keep abdicating theirs.

The American people deserve leaders willing to stand up for the Constitution. Right now, we don't have enough of them.

The Trump Administration says offshore wind is a national security threat. But when you ask them to explain what that threat actually is, in a classified briefing or in public, they can’t give you a straight answer.

Because there isn’t one. It’s made up.

This is about oil company profits, nothing more. Our communities don’t want it. Our military leaders don’t want it. I’m fighting like hell to stop it.

Drilling off California's coast won’t bring down gas prices. What it will do is risk the kind of devastating spills we’ve seen in Santa Barbara and Huntington Beach, spills that hammer our coastal economy and our communities for years.
