#US emergency #oil stockpile tumbles to lowest since the Reagan administration
The amount of oil in the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve [#SPR] plunged last week to the lowest level since 1983 as the #Trump admin continues to deploy emergency oil to minimize the damage from his #war with #Iran.

Asked about the report that the May #CPI had jumped 4.2% over the last year, #Trump took a surprisingly “optimistic” [#deranged] tack with the challenging news. Trump didn’t dismiss the #affordability issue as a “hoax” started by Democrats, as he has previously. Nor did he claim he was bringing down the #CostOfLiving.
Instead, after the govt said that #inflation spiked to the highest level since April 2023, Trump said, “You know what I really love? I love the inflation.”
"As of 2 p.m. ET on June 10, #FoxNews has spent less than 30 seconds discussing rising inflation, with only a brief headline read appearing on #America's Newsroom, according to a #MediaMatters review. Anchor Bill Hemmer during the headline described the highest #inflation since April of 2023 as 'not what we want, but it is in line with expectations.'"
If non #GOP parties were ever take back power in the #USA, there should be immediate investigations to unearth the ugly facts of #Trump's disastrous regime, and its enablers. Fox News should be amongst the companies of interest.
