11/ America burns through millions of barrels daily — Trump’s “deal” wouldn’t even cover a morning commute. It’s not an energy plan. It’s a photo‑op for Putin. Trump betrayed the U.S., again.
021
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
10/ And let’s be real about the numbers: The amount of diesel Trump is bragging about getting from Russia is a rounding error compared to what the U.S. uses every single day.
111
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
9/ Bottom line: Trump isn’t lowering gas prices. He’s laundering Putin’s oil revenue and rewriting the blame so Americans don’t notice who actually caused the mess.
100
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
8/ Blaming Ukraine for gas prices is misinformation. The disruption started with Trump’s Iran escalation — not Ukraine defending itself from invasion.
100
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
7/ And when prices stay high? Trump already has his scapegoat lined up — Ukraine. Even though the real cause is his own confrontation with Iran and the chaos he unleashed in the Strait of Hormuz.
100
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
6/ The truth: Trump’s gas deal helps Putin’s budget, not American families. It’s a geopolitical coupon for the Kremlin, paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Trump is helping our enemy that is aiding Iran to kill U.S. troops.
100
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
5/ And now Trump wants Americans to believe that buying more Russian oil will magically lower prices. It won’t. It props up Putin. It undermines Ukraine. And it ties U.S. energy security to a dictator who weaponizes oil.
100
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
4/ Meanwhile, Trump is burning through U.S. munitions fighting Iran’s proxies with million‑dollar interceptors against $5,000 drones. Putin and Xi love this. It drains U.S. stockpiles and shifts attention away from Russia’s failures. This is making the U.S. weaker by the day.
100
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
3/ Trump’s plan? Pretend Ukraine is the reason gas prices are high. Not the war he started with Iran. Not the Strait of Hormuz disruptions he caused. Not the drone‑vs‑missile cost imbalance he created. Nope — blame Ukraine. Because it’s politically convenient.
100
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
2/ Russia’s oil refineries are getting hammered by Ukrainian drone strikes — because Russia invaded Ukraine. That’s not “Ukraine’s fault.” That’s cause‑and‑effect. You invade a sovereign country, you get hit back.
100
GiGi Mac @gigimac.bsky.social · 12h
🧵1/ Trump’s “big energy deal” with Putin isn’t some genius move for cheap U.S. gas. It’s a bailout for Russia’s war economy. Putin needs cash, and Trump is offering him a pipeline straight into our pocketbooks.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

The Trump administration has begun sending $500 government checks to nearly 1 million Affordable Care Act customers in 30 states. Each payment comes with a letter from Trump telling recipients that the Biden administration overcharged them to operate HealthCare.gov. #TheCityBrief

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.

Not so sure Republicans want the Dobbs decision back in the spotlight like this as the Midterms approach…
A screenshot of a CBS News post on X with a black background and white text. At the top left is the CBS News logo and verified account name, “CBS News @CBSNews,” with “X.com” in the upper-right corner.

The post reads: “Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, required ‘courage’ from all of the justices in the majority.

‘We didn’t know it when we produced the draft that was leaked, but it required courage to go ahead with that because of the implications,’ he said.

He told CBS News’ @JanCBS that he lost friends over the Dobbs decision. And he called physical threats and harassment ‘quite disturbing’ and ‘a danger for the courts.’”

Below the text is a large video still from the CBS News interview showing Justice Samuel Alito seated indoors. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and dark red tie, and appears to be speaking while looking slightly to his left. A small CBS News logo appears in the upper-left corner of the video frame.
