Donald Trump’s understanding of oil seems stuck in the 20th century. His strategy for the 2030s, such as it is, makes little sense

In this issue: 🌍 Trump administration said it wants to pull the US out of UNFCCC and IPCC 🌍 Global oil prices fell after the US’s Venezuela operation 🌍 Key dates for next week and pick of the job vacancies Subscribe to DeBriefed ⬇️ subscribe.carbonbrief.org

"Their oil is garbage. It’s horrible. The worst you can get. Tar. It’s like tar." Read how Trump used to talk about Venezuelan oil.

"The Trump administration’s spin of these events is quite plainly not backed up by these videos," writes @kathkrueger.bsky.social. interc.pt/4swlczd

Stay safe, everyone. Here's some free things to do, including an art show on the emotional burden of living in the modern era (pictured):

Also, the standard justification is that the person these heavily armed masked goons targeted for harassment, abuse, possibly kidnapping to be sent to a torture prison tried to hit them with their car, which is total bullshit.

You know what? Go ahead and abolish Homeland Security, too.

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability. But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down. They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

CALIFORNIA…

Calling her a “fucking bitch” after he shot her in the face is making this look more like a hate crime. May be one of the reasons the FBI doesn’t want the state involved in the investigation. The Minneapolis Prosecutor should subpoena all his social media.

Noem saying Ross acted "according to his training" is a blinking red light. Any investigative effort from those with subpoena power needs to press on ICE permitting early resort to lethal force. @lilahassan.bsky.social's reporting is crucial & acknowledges it may be out of date:

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative. Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

🇨🇦 PMO: Canada strongly condemns the killing of protestors, the use of violence, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation tactics by the Iranian regime against its own people. We stand in solidarity with the Iranian people, whose voice must be heard, as they demand freedom and dignity.

AOC not mincing any words - and calling a strike a strike EVERY single democrat should follow her lead and REPEAT and AMPLIFY this is NO time to not have the moral clarity to say what we ALL SAW on the video

NEWS --> Reps Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman are introducing a new bill to strip ICE officers of qualified immunity, making lawsuits and prosecutions easier. They also say agent who killed Renee Good should be prosecuted in Minnesota. They break this news on our pod: newrepublic.com/article/2051...

What kind of country is so precious about a word, but so careless with guns?

Every DA in the country should draw the line on crime by Ice, border patrol, or military like Philly’s DA Krasner just did!

Bovino needs to be incarcerated!

So Maria Corina Machado believes she must give trump her Nobel Prize so HE can make her president of HER OWN country??? Pathetic. The Nobel Committee should rescind the award.

It is deeply counter to the whole very basic concept of this nation that its citizens can be taxed and then have funding withheld punitively because the person exercising the power of the presidency decides on a whim to do so.

Ummmm....

By the way, if you’re on the side of thinking that ICE is going to win whatever this “war” against the people they talk about…. They aren’t And the statute of limitations goes past three years for a lot of crimes

You MUST listen to Cliff Cash! I KNOW we all can relate ~ DEAR ICE …

A Civiqs Poll this week revealed that support for abolishing ICE is at an all time high among Americans.

I have a MAGA friend I find it increasingly hard to tolerate. My family is in danger on many fronts because of hers and other Trump voters' actions. I don't have a lot of hope for them to change direction, she's a pretty "normal" person and doesn't budge from supporting Trump.

Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan. Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.” This is who we lost yesterday.

Max it out, Virginia, go for it! There are no do-overs!

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

This wasn't about "fraud." This was a targeted, racist attack on working families in Blue states. They came for our child care providers. They came for our neighbors. And they got shut down. Again. If Trump wants to keep playing games with people’s livelihoods we are ready to go.

The murderer's name is Jonathan Ross. It's not "doxxing" to name him. We don't have "secret" law enforcement in the United States. Katie Phang sounds off in a must-watch new report:

Trump: “I’m not talking about money for Greenland, yet — I might talk about that, but right now, we are going to do something in Greenland whether they like it or not” “Whether they like it or not” — those old Epstein habits die hard

NEW: Virginia Democrats are signaling a push for a new congressional map that would leave Republicans with just one U.S. House seat — a direct response to GOP-led gerrymanders pushed by Trump ahead of the midterm elections.
