Oh look, Neil topped by Fox News to remind us a sitting Supreme Court Justice has no problem cozying up to a partisan propaganda outlet — while the rest of us are supposed to trust he’ll rule impartially. His robe is a costume at this point. One with a white pointed hood.

President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is telling his advisers to bring ideas to the Oval Office to lower gasoline prices in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran, according to two energy industry executives familiar with the conversations.
The White House is “looking under every rock for ideas on improving energy prices, especially gasoline prices,” said one of the executives, who was granted anonymity to describe internal administration discussions.
The attack and Iran’s subsequent targeting of the Persian Gulf’s energy sector has sent crude oil up more than $10 a barrel, lifting gasoline prices to their highest levels since Trump took office last year.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright and other advisers focused on energy policy, including a council led by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, “are getting screamed at to find some good news” on bringing down prices, the same executive said. “Folks are scrambling for announcements and messaging to counter the narrative” of rising prices, this person said.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreih6wfm56faxyy6zhywo7lfeov52kojqpvoxfdow7qpx7ps43ybebu)

Former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal said “the Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk [sic] part in our Milan exercise”. Sibal added that because it was taking part in an exercise “it was defenceless”.
Indian politician Supriya Shrinate said on social media: "These Iranian navy men parading at an event in India, were our guests. Invited by us.
"US submarine targeted their ship and killed them while they were returning home."
Shrinate also criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his failure to make a statement on the attack.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:evgc4ukadedre3gwsiwygkpz/bafkreiblljxh6wfsnwpcyuuykp42qaz7mwrn7e2btsx3be2rahy3lrxxxi)
