76 days of Republicans’ disarray and confusion led to accepting the offer Senate Democrats made on Day 1. First, after much delay, Republican Senators agreed unanimously; then the House Republicans, after more delay, ultimately also agreed. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...
Big Oil is using Trump's war to drive up prices and rake in record profits. In just the first three months of 2026, BP made $3,200,000,000. That’s over $266 million per week. $34 million per day. $402 per *second.* My Windfall Profits Bill would return those profits to you.
