America’s $1 trillion/year military is being brought to heel by a country with a tiny economy over a tiny water passage for oil tankers; gas, utility, and diesel costs are sky high; and China is running away with the energy future — but yeah sure, it’s ENERGY DOMINANCE MONTH.

Sen. Collins faced Troy Jackson last night in their Maine Senate debate. On stage, Collins inaccurately described ProPublica’s story about an FBI anticorruption investigation that probed the conduct of her & her staff until Trump’s DOJ shut it down. Let’s get into the facts…

Hilarious that Trump’s spending his entire election season in Texas, especially when the Senate candidate is on tape saying he’s dragging down his candidacy, and the endangered Texas governor is skipping the rallies to avoid being seen with him. George W Bush never had it this bad in 2006.

Trump’s signature cost-of-living promise on the campaign trail was that he’d cut energy prices in half — now his “oil & gas only” energy policy is his single biggest failure, the biggest reason Republicans are losing. 3 of the 4 top pain points for people are energy costs.

Both WaPo and @oliverdarcy.bsky.social are reporting that one of the stories the WH claims they banned Politico for was based off a background briefing (that is, they're complaining Politico reported what WH told them to). Darcy makes it clear JD was the background briefer in this case.
