The US-Iran war already has a winner: Russia. From my weekend @Opinion column on the impact of the conflict in the oil market, and why Moscow is celebrating: higher prices, and demand for its unsold sanctioned barrels. The full op-ed is here: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Speaking at our event @CommerceGov Secretary @howardlutnick notes, you can’t finance a 30-year project without confidence in 30-year policy. The message: America is committed to securing critical minerals and the broader set of strategic industries that underpin economic security.

A niche but crucial part of the oil market is being rocked by a huge bet from a South Korean tycoon who has amassed a large share of the tanker market, with help from one of the industry’s wealthiest men. Over the past month or two, the Sinokor group has quickly moved to buy or charter a significant number of ships and now controls roughly 120 very-large crude carriers, according to estimates from several senior industry executives. Some marketveterans said the huge position amassed by the company, overseen by shipowner Ga-Hyun Chung, is unprecedented in their experience. #oott bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I just left a briefing with important updates to share with you from the Executive on the ongoing snow emergency as we deal with freezing temperatures. While I appreciate the hard work of District workers, the government’s response has fallen far short of what DC residents deserve. I know many residents are understandably angry and disappointed over streets that still need to be cleared and sidewalks that are impassable. We need clear communication and better coordination. Here’s what you need to know: * New heavy equipment started being used last night for snow removal * Crews are prioritizing public safety buildings, 24/7 locations like shelters, government buildings * A lot of alleys will not be passable until next week * Residential trash/recycling/food waste collection is going to be very delayed due to conditions of alleys * DPW is working on ideas to get trash from alleys, including deploying leaf crews not on snow removal to assist * Tomorrow, we will have a better sense from meteorologists of the impacts of any potential weekend storm * Anticipate DCPS making a call about school tomorrow by 5 p.m. tonight Ongoing snow removal efforts: * 280 plows on DC streets with supervisors checking routes * 90 dump trucks picking up snow piles from corners and moving to RFK parking lots * 30 pieces of heavy equipment loading snow where snow is too high. Starting downtown and moving outward Some good news: * Very few isolated power outages * Gas stations have fuel and grocery stores are starting to restock * 8 Recreation Centers remain on standby but haven’t needed to use any for emergency warming and shelter space * 50 new Snow Heroes joined in the last 24 hours to help seniors and people with disabilities shovel sidewalks – volunteer here: servedc.galaxydigital.com/snow-team/

Rep. Roy in @RulesReps: “Now we're sitting here, and we're listening to nonsense about health care, where my colleagues on the other side of the aisle sit here saying, 'Well, you guys aren't doing anything about the massive, expensive cost of health care.' Why do you think it's expensive? Because you literally cut a deal with insurance companies to run health care... And yet, Republicans will complain about it, and then they'll offer milquetoast garbage like we're offering this week, and then go home at Christmas and say, 'Look at what we're doing, we’re campaigning on reducing health care.' Well, congratulations. At some point people will look at this body and say, 'Maybe we should get rid of all 435 members of the House and all 100 members of the Senate, and start over, because Congress is literally failing the American people.'”
