A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.

@Oilfield_Rando They don’t seem to understand the cost is always going up. The subsidy just masks the failure of Obama’s signature health legislation. The ironically named affordable care act. I mean, credit for the name. I’m sure they were laughing their asses off when they came up with that

Ah so she wanted strangers to keep paying for her grown ass adult child’s insurance forever instead of him or her paying for it. Many such cases.

@Penwah2021 You can thank Trump and Republicans for refusing to extend subsidies so prices would go up.

@brhodes Unfortunately, Israel's supporters have been trained to believe they are always the victims. Hence, there's no chance that they ever did anything wrong. They're in a cult, where people doing the genocide are the innocent victims, and the dead and the tortured are the guilty ones.

@LinneaLueken @RonDeSantis Here’s the thing. I don’t think EVs should get subsidies but then oil and gas shouldn’t get subsidies either. Do you have any idea how expensive gas would be without them? How about we get rid of them and see how popular gas cars would be then?

Ok, so the AG of Virginia, Jay Jones, has filed an emergency appeal to the United States Supreme Court asking them to overrule the Virginia State Supreme Courts ruling, and while he may have sent it through spellcheck this time, he failed to change templates..because this one is still going to the Supreme Court of Virginia. The incompetence is mind blowing. 😆😆😆

very confused as to why the VA Supreme Court declined to stop the vote on the redistricting referendum. Whatever you feel about the merits of their decision to strike it down today, the handling of this is a bit odd

@AdamParkhomenko @krystalball Jesus Christ on a bike. The matter went before the court and the DA argued the court SHOULD NOT determine the question prior to the election citing precedent such as Scott v James (1912). In short. Take it up with/Gov. SchittsCreek. This is not the GOP’s doing.

@mattyglesias idiotic for the court to allow the vote to happen in the first place, have it go against their preferred outcome, and then be like “whoopsie actually the whole vote was illegal the whole time!”

@JamesAbrenio “I don’t know anything about the case or evidence but listen to me when I say with all certainty that I know this is corruption” Fuck off dude. You DQed yourself with your own tweet. Maybe STFU and wait for the evidence before issuing your judgment?

To be clear, I know nothing about Lucas's businesses. But what I do know is this isn't a coincidence. This is corruption to the core. No way this investigation just happened to occur now. I hope all Virginians will condemn this. But of course I don't expect it.
Headquarters@HQNewsNow

Virginia state Senator L. Louise Lucas' office has been raided by the Trump administration. This follows the overwhelming victory of the Virginia redistricting referendum, an initiative that Lucas was heavily involved in.

@SafeSidewalksDC @fkcu_hennessy @DCPoliceUnion Then take your beef up with the council and request a memorandum of support for these activities. The council and mayor and AG can clearly state this enforcement does not fall under the law and are permissible tactics by DCPD. See how that goes. That should resolve any confusion.

@fkcu_hennessy @DCPoliceUnion Yet again the entire statue clearly refers to pursuits which this was not. Since DC has recently used roadblocks for checking vehicle registrations & insurance (and used to use them for DUI checkpoints) there are clearly folks who believe roadblocks are legal.

@StirMixxalot There’s been talk over the years. At one point they were planning a remake with Taylor Lautner. I didn’t see the point.

I’m often asked about the pegboard scene in VISION QUEST. That was all me. No stunt doubles or safety measures. I trained for a long time and had to climb it several times to get all the angles. The “trick” is not to over extend, so you’d be pulling up your entire body weight. You have to keep it compact. Arms and elbows tight. 💪🏽 You can support the @FMJDiary project by bidding on a signed VQ poster here: ebay.com/itm/2062521319…

The Democrats are so desperate to attract white working class men that they are nominating a white male Maine Senate candidate who comes from a prep school background of extreme wealth, who literally has a Nazi tattoo on his chest, and who has a lengthy social media history of misogyny and antisemitism, all because he has a beard, a deep voice, started wearing flannel shirts and took up oyster farming as a hobby like Hollywood stars buy a winery. They also think white working class men are stupid and won't be able to see through the charade. Yeah, that's Graham Platner I'm talking about.

@MajorityDems Eliminating the industry and the jobs is EXACTLY what his party has set out to do. Maybe he should read their party platform and policies for the last 30-40 years.

@saeverley $170/barrel would not be out of the question absent shale revolution and exports. Hard to quantify the bad thing that didn’t happen but it would have been much uglier

12 years ago there was a ban on exporting crude oil in the United States. Energy prices are high, but imagine how much higher they would be if that ban had not been lifted in December 2015.
Javier Blas@JavierBlas

The surge in US crude oil overseas sales means the country was last week a net exporter of crude. (In the past, the US exported more crude oil *AND* refined products — combined — than it imported. But now it's an exporter on a crude basis, without the need of refined products)

@jetpackjoe_ @BlueFalcon2285 @micah_erfan Tell me you don’t understand how the republican functions without saying it. House is proportional to population. Senate is equal representation of the states. The people have their say in the House. Mob rule by majority. Senate is deliberative. A check and balance if you will.

@jamestalarico Creating an even bigger shortfall for the highway trust fund that would have to be funded by deficit spending to fill the gap down the road. Because road maintenance doesn’t take a holiday.

Gas prices are surging because of this new war in Iran. I’m calling for a suspension of the federal gas tax — which would immediately drop the price of gas by 18 cents a gallon. Suspend the gas tax. End the war in Iran. Make life more affordable.
