UPDATE: After sending billions to #Kushner and #Trump, #Saudis lobby to escalate #IranWar
Judd Legum, Mar 25, 2026
" 'I’m not going to start a war,' President Trump pledged during his November 2024 victory speech. 'I’m going to stop wars.'
"Today, the United States has been at war with Iran for almost a month, with no clear objectives and no end in sight. Why is Trump, who promised to avoid foreign entanglements, allowing it to drag on?
"On Tuesday, the New York Times published a bombshell report. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (#MBS) has been aggressively lobbying Trump not to end the fighting..."

HYPOCRITE!
Donald Trump voted by mail in Florida special election as he bashes mail ballots
By Bill Barrow, March 24, 2026
"Trump has in the last week called mail-in voting “cheating” and “corrupt as hell.” He is urging Congress to pass the SAVE Act. The sweeping bill would bar universal mail ballots and, as Wales noted, limit the options to a select few voters such as those with disabilities, military commitments or who are traveling on Election Day."

President Donald Trump has cast another mail ballot in Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of fraud and push Congress to curtail the practice. Democratic leader Chuck Schumer criticized the president as hypocritical in response. Palm Beach County voter records show the president voted by mail in a Tuesday special election for state legislative seats and that his ballot has been counted. Early voting in the contest ran through Sunday, when Trump was still at his south Florida estate. The White House said Trump's focus is on states with universal mail voting, not on individual voters who need accommodations. Still, Trump has made sweeping claims that mail ballots are susceptible to widespread fraud.
Make this happen, spineless #Senators and #USCongress!
Donald #Trump given '#impeachment, arrest or #25thAmendment' choice after teasing nuclear war
Story by Yelena Mandenberg
"A popular leftist commentator, Kyle Kulinski, demanded that President Donald Trump be impeached over the war in Iran, garnering nearly 2,000 retweets.
This comes as Trump and Iran threaten to hit power plants and nuclear sites throughout the Middle East. Airstrikes battered Iran and Iranian missiles, and drones targeted Israel’s Tel Aviv and sites across the Mideast on Tuesday..."

Fire out and shelter-in-place order is lifted after #OilRefinery explosion near #Texas coast
By HALLIE GOLDEN
Updated 7:29 AM EDT, March 24, 2026
"An oil refinery fire near the Texas coast was put out Tuesday and a shelter-in-place order was lifted, hours after a large explosion at the complex shot plumes of smoke into the air, officials said.
"No one was injured in Monday’s explosion at the #Valero refinery in #PortArthur, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Houston, Mayor Charlotte M. Moses said. She had urged residents in parts of the west side of the city to stay put.
" 'There’s been an explosion, yes, but we’re OK; everybody’s OK,' she said. 'They’re trying to put the fire out as quickly as possible.'
"Residents at least several miles away said they felt their homes shake. Some schools in the area were closed Tuesday as a precaution.
"The explosion comes amid a spike in gas prices driven by uncertainty over the global oil supply because of the Iran war.
"The refinery has about 770 employees and can process about 435,000 barrels of oil per day, according to Valero’s website. The plant refines heavy sour crude oil into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel."

Officials say an oil refinery fire near the Texas coast has been put out and a shelter-in-place order has been lifted following air quality testing. The large explosion at the complex had shot plumes of smoke into the air. A Valero spokesperson says no one was injured and all employees are accounted for after Monday’s explosion at the company's refinery in Port Arthur. The explosion comes amid a spike in gas prices driven by uncertainty over the global oil supply because of the Iran war. Valero’s website says the refinery has about 770 employees and can process about 435,000 barrels of oil per day. The plant refines heavy sour crude oil into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
Feds Are Downplaying #MethaneLeaks in America’s Biggest #OilField, Satellite Data Suggests
A report found #MethaneEmissions in the #PermianBasin to be nearly four times higher than #EPA estimates. A senator wants an explanation.
By Ellyn Lapointe
Published March 20, 2026
"#FossilFuel extraction is a known source of #methane leaks, releasing large amounts of this potent #GreenhouseGas into the atmosphere. Yet the Environmental Protection Agency appears to be drastically underreporting emissions from the nation’s largest oil-producing region.
"Nearly half of U.S. oil comes from the Permian Basin in West #Texas and southeastern #NewMexico. The region generates more than $100 billion annually for the U.S. economy, and apparently, a whole lot of methane, too. A recent report from #MethaneSAT—a methane-sensing satellite that observed Earth from March 2024 to June 2025—found emissions from the Permian Basin to be nearly four times higher than the EPA’s official estimates."

#Colorado’s #OilAndGas industry is vastly underestimating #methane emissions

Excerpt: "A unique aerial measurement campaign found that emission inventories compiled by energy companies to account for planet-warming methane leaking from equipment on Colorado oil and gas production sites undercount such #pollutants by at least two times.
"Results from the $3.25 million project, led by a team of university researchers and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, provided officials for the first time with a more complete picture of the invisible pollutant emitted from well pads. #FossilFuel extraction is the state’s second-largest source of methane pollution, which has a global warming potential roughly 80 times that of carbon dioxide during a 20-year period."

#HumanWaste backing up in basements is a gut-churning sign of US infrastructure problems
By MICHAEL PHILLIS and M.K. WILDEMAN
March 10, 2026
#WashingtonDC (AP) — "The January collapse of a pipe as wide as a car dumped so much sewage into the #PotomacRiver that officials tracked a spike of gut-wrenching bacteria drifting slowly past Washington for weeks, prompting an emergency declaration and federal assistance."
[...]
"President Donald #Trump called state and local leaders 'incompetent' over the spill, but some experts say his administration’s funding cuts are adding to the national problem."
#USPol #TrumpSucks #TrumpIsFullOfShit #WashingtonDCIsFullOfShit
A major sewer pipe collapse has dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, highlighting a nationwide problem involving failing infrastructure. The Potomac spill was a huge, but rare event that led to an emergency declaration and federal help. But across the country, sewer overflows happen tens of thousands of times each year. Baltimore shows how bad persistent problems can be. People regularly experience sewage backups into their homes, ruining property and bringing in harmful bacteria. The EPA says there is more than $600 billion is needed for flooding and clean water needs over the next two decades. The Trump administration has cut some funding for the work.
Let me get this straight. POTUS is allegedly there to pass bills, keep the country safe, etc. Seems to me that #TrumpSucks isn't doing his job.
