#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.

I truly wonder if, with the billions lost, the #UAE & #GCC countries are really going to build a canal to bypass the Strait of #Hormuz.
There has apparently already been a plan for this collecting dust. With the current problems, $50B+ doesn't sound so bad anymore:

"“It feels like a #war on consumers,” said Sally Greenberg, the executive director of the National Consumers League, a 125-year-old consumer advocacy group. Households are being hit by “a tsunami of fees and hidden charges and tricks and traps”, she said.
...consumers “are starting to realize that a lot of the cool #data and #technology is being used against them”."

I fully support #Ukraine in the #UkraineWar
Ukraine has to fight. #Russia can just go home. If Russia wins, their #ethnofascist #imperialism and #colonialism means #genocide for Ukrainians
However they have limited #labor. So they turbocharge #innovation
From such efforts, something horrible is born with terrible implications for the world

#War
I have to be honest with you.
This week I did nothing for the kids. No activities. No events. Nothing.
Not because I stopped caring. Because I am empty.
No money. No energy. The weight of everything here has become too heavy to carry alone.
I'm not asking for sympathy. I'm asking for help — real, practical help — so I can stand back up and show up for these children again.

#Trump abruptly ends #interview with NBC’s ‘#MeetThePress’
During the conversation Trump dismissed the idea that launching the #war with #Iran this year betrayed his campaign message of “No new wars.” At the end, #KristenWelker pressed Trump on the “#settlement” #SlushFund & his false claims about the #California #election.

"Liberal" has been made a toxic word by the #GQP, along with "socialism" and many other words which once had meaning.
This reminder of #truth - another word which once had meaning - is from Lawrence O'Donnell.

US inflation rose at fastest pace in three years in April as Iran war hikes up prices
Americans are growing frustrated with Trump’s handling of the economy as cost of living soars ahead of midtermsGuardian staff reporter (The Guardian)
The massacres do not stop. Killing, killing everywhere. They spared no one — neither children nor the elderly. We are being erased in complete silence.
This week, the occupation has tightened the siege in an extremely severe way. Please speak about us, share our voices, and do not let the world ignore what is happening
We are being destroyed in total silence, and the suffering has never stopped. Please, do whatever you can
So much for the “deal”
#US targets #Iran missile launch sites & boats in "self-defense" strikes
The US #military conducted “self-defense strikes” [not a thing] targeting Iranian missile launch sites & boats around the #StraitOfHormuz Monday amid a “ceasefire” between the 2 countries & ongoing negotiations to end the #war, according to CENTCOM.

As usual Krugman gets a lot wrong here, most importantly by giving Trump too much credit.
Firstly, it assumes coherence on Trump's part. What is a win to him? It is a loss because X and Y conditions weren't met. But no, Trump is a wet noodle without such basic standards and goals. He's been unable to lay out a win or loss condition.
Then there's this: "It’s far more likely that Hegseth and Trump have also been receiving false, optimistic reports"
Well that alone is Krugman pretty much undermining the rest of his piece. If they don't know what's going on, well, that's that. The rest of it comes to nothing.
It needs to be consistently pointed out that #Trump is such a loser incapable of managing much of anything. Here Krugman almost suggests that Trump is a fine manager with misguided goals.
He has no goals.

Could be another #MarketManipulation or even just that Trump is feeling like he’s not getting enough attention.

#HouseRepublicans, you tiny wimpy nothings
Republican leaders pulled a resolution to halt the #IranWar that had been scheduled for a vote Thursday evening, after it became clear they just didn’t have enough votes to defeat it.

How is this not getting wall-to-wall #coverage on every #news outlet? How is there not an #international #military operation to bring her back?
A #genocidal state kidnapped a #family member of a head of state. That sort of thing is usually considered an act of #war.
She is also a #medical #doctor.
