🧵1/3 DOJ’s year of silence on European Epstein requests—Poland hunts Russian intel links, Norway charges ex-diplomats and a PM, Latvia names a victim—stinks of obstruction. Zero U.S. charges while allies chase the files’ leads & survivors wait. This shields the powerful, not justice. #EpsteinCoverUp

🧵1/2 Labor Day 2026 delivered a record Americans never asked for: $4.14-a-gallon gasoline. Prices surged after the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran and the collapse of crude traffic through Hormuz. Foreign-policy shocks do not stay overseas. They arrive at the pump—and in the family budget. #GasPrices

Fuel prices at record Labor Day high in US thanks to Iran War and refinery issues
Gas prices in the U.S. have hit a record high for Labor Day weekend, averaging $4.14 per gallon. This is nearly a dollar more than last year and surpasses the previous record of $3.82 from 2012.
