Trump tried to pressure Republicans to acquiesce by posting to social media Wednesday, writing, "It is IMPERATIVE that Republicans in the House pass the Tax Cut Bill, NOW! Our Country Will Boom!!!"
Facing a deadline from an immigration judge to turn over evidence for its attempted deportation of Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil, the federal government has instead submitted a brief memo, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, citing the Trump administration’s authority to expel noncitizens whose presence in the country damages U.S. foreign policy interests.
The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil, a legal permanent U.S. resident and graduate student who served as spokesperson for campus activists last year during large demonstrations against Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and the war in Gaza.
Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs.
He is killing domestic O&G. Think about the #1 resource in O&G exploration/production/transportation. What do we build rigs with? What goes down hole? How do we get product to surface? How is it measured? How is it stored? How is it made ready/treated to remove impurities? How is it piped/trucked/railed? How is it processed/refined? Think about 1 well and all of those issues above and how much steel is involved.
Now extrapolate that 1 well into the thousands that have to be drilled (obviously you don’t build a new rig for each well) just to keep production curve flat. Not increase production but just stymie the decline.
His layoffs are impacting the departments that review and approve permits thus slowing them down.
Not to mention what he has done to the price of crude oil. He’s taken a curve between $65 & $70 and pushed it to below $60. Rigs were already being played down and that was before “liberation day.”
Yup. We're driving up costs for no reason other than 'trade imbalance bad'.
What is really hilarious for me to think about is that if it was Biden that had done this, Trump would be on the sidelines saying how this is bad for America.
Another day, another massive swing in the stock market. This is totally an awesome thing that is very healthy. Like how a really healthy heart stops and starts and changes rhythm constantly in a super healthy 85 year old that totally doesn't have high cholesterol. So healthy.
Each one of those swings would be a due to recession or hyperinflation in years past. Now we're getting them pretty much every day as the leader of the free world communicates policy updates through social media while sitting on the toilet. I know that's the kind of economy I can invest in!
Well, no surprise that would happen. So will Trump try to make oil companies want to drill big again by making oil go over $100 a barrel done by bombing Iran?
