FOX & FRIENDS: When will there be some relief for folks at the pump?
CHRIS WRIGHT: Weeks, not months

Almost thereβ¦
They think, or at least pretend to think, that this doesnβt sound like obvious cope to everyone in the world
Itβs an entire White House comms shop built on the premise of βmy hot girlfriend lives in Canadaβ being believed by normal people
The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.
Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trumpβs eyes.
Wonder why that is?
Trump claims the U.S. is increasing the production of "Exquisite class weaponry". Looks like that comes between Superior and Flawless in the Skyrim, Diablo and Elder Scrolls crafting options. π
Fine
Superior
Exquisite
Flawless
Epic
Legendary
So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
gramps is banged up

Even if they donβt surrender, we will call that an unconditional surrender and declare victory. bsky.app/profile/atru...
DOOCY: What is motivating you to do this right now? There is a lot of other stuff going on in the world
TRUMP: In Iran we're doing very well. Somebody said, 'How would you score it from 0 to 10?' I said, 'I'd give it a 12 to a 15.'
Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead
π Trump's Board of Piss is looking shaky.
Trump: "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. 'MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).' Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

"Wow. A big drop" -- CNBC highlights that labor force participation is now the lowest it has been since in late 2021, before the covid vaccine was widely available
CNN's Dana Bash: "I asked Trump about rising gas prices. He said, 'That's alright. It'll be short term. It'll go way down very quickly.' I said, 'They're pretty high now.' He said, 'No they're not.'"
CNN's Dana Bash reports on a convo she just had with Trump: "He said there are now five things in this SAVE America Act that he wants the House and Senate to pass. He said, 'No mail in ballots, no men in women's sports, and no transgender operations for youth.' He added those two."
lmao Maria & co are coping HARD about a terrible report: "If you bought stocks on April 2 of last year on so-called 'Liberation Day' you are up huuuuge ... for January, I think this is important -- the revision is only 4,000 down. Overall you have a stable jobs market. There's a silver lining here"
"So, we have a negative number for February non-farm payroll. A loss. We're also seeing the unemployment rate tick up" -- DUN DUN DUN: Maria Bartiromo and company cope with a dire jobs report
(Note that Bartiromo immediately blames "AI efficiencies")
John Fetterman (Pa.)
Maggie Hassan (N.H.)
Tim Kaine (Va.)
Andy Kim (N.J.)
Gary Peters (Mich.)
Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.)
Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)
These Dem Senators have one thing in common. They all voted for Kristie Noem to head the DHS. Fetterman is a lost cause but the rest better not approve Mullin.

Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the βMiddle East."
