Can someone explain why press reports of wholesale oil prices are based on futures markets with little to no mention of spot market or current contract prices?

The ceasefire exists in the same quantum state as all the tariff "deals" Trump negotiated last year with various countries. Show me one piece of paper signed by both sides agreeing to a specific list of commitments. It's all a gasbag of "Truths" and a miasma of free-floating bullshit.

I know impeachment is a pipe dream with the current Congress, but now would be a good time for all good Dems to stand up and announce that Trump is threatening war crimes and everyone inthe chain of command will be held accountable when the tables are turned.

WTF did I just listen to? Was that the leader of the free world?

Scott Bessent boasted that the US engineered a dollar shortage in Iran leading to the recent riots/repression that resulted in the deaths of thousands of protesters, whom Trump egged on and abandoned. Heck of a job, Scotty.

As Trump tries to buff the ICE turd opponents need to keep their eye on the ball. He gutted the VA, cancer research and special ed to finance paramilitary thugs attacking our neighbors for their color, accent and 1A speech and sweeping them into concentration camps. Say it!

The problem with ICE shootings is not untrained agents, although poor training factors in. The problem is that the policy and training is to brutalize and intimidate people exercising their civil rights to observe, record and yell at agents. Summary execution is the natural result of ICE impunity.

As I write NPR's Ron Elving is talking about Trump's obvious physical and mental decline. Do my ears deceive me? Can it be that the legacy media is starting to acknowledge the Emperor's nakedness?

Alert! J P Morgan Chase is woke! Thank you for your attention to this matter

Caligula appointed Incitatus to the Senate. Trump was relieved of that chore by Republican Senators who chose to reduce themselves to horses asses atop which their master cavorts and trumpets his depraved ambition. When historians write this chapter will they weep or guffaw in disbelief?

Trump to Iran yesterday: "KEEP PROTESTING... HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!" Trump today: " the killing in Iran is stopping - it's stopped - it's stopping... I've been told that on good authority". See, it worked!

When his neighbor passing by addressed him in English, Rock asked the camo guy "Does that answer your question?", dudeman got in his unmarked black SUV and left. ICE scraping the bottom of the barrel? 2/

My friend in a neighboring one horse town in central VT was approached by a guy in camo at the USPS parking lot who asked him in Spanish, "Any work around here, Jorge?" 1/

The town drunk in charge of War ordered all his high ranking functionaries to attend an in-person meeting so that they could observe the incapacity of their Commander in Chief and ready themselves for an assault on the citizens who employ them all.

I went to a Mobilize/Indivisible promoted "protest" of Texas redistricting in Burlington, Vt today, wrapped in an upside-dwn American flag. About 150-200 people showed up to wave signs-I wrapped myself in an upside-down American flag, The average age was 60+. Where's the yout?

How could a grassroots communication campaign get across to the constituents of vulnerable R reps and senators that they are being sold out by the big ugly bill? How can their information silo be penetrated? After their rural hospitals close it will be too late.
