Oil prices in the US are rising because US oil producers are worried about overasaturating the market, which would drive domestic prices down. They’re using the current crunch to get higher returns, leading to rising prices at the pump.
Further proof as to why we need to wean of fossil fuels as soon as possible.

Republicans in Michigan are replacing election officials that voted to certify the election with Trump loyalists.
Your party is no longer a party of democracy, Republicans.

Speaking of Republicans, Cancun Cruz was caught lying again. Claiming that the Southeest Airlines cancellations were due to the vaccine mandates.
A claim refuted by SWA itself, the FAA, and the pilots and attendants union RLA.
In truth, a combination of inclimate weather in Florida, military training exercises, and lack of management staffing (a pre-vaccine problem that SWA has been facing for a few years now) led to the disruption.
Your talking heads are liars, Republicans.

Kyrsten Sinema is a Republican. No more has that been made clear than the last few days.
First there was her skipping out on Senate meetings due to a “foot surgery” - incidentally stalling Dem agenda - only to be found at a marathon.
Then there was the news that she’s rejecting calls from the POTUS of all people…but jumps at a chance to have extended conversations with Moscow Mitch.
But hey, at least we “Voted Blue No Matter Who” huh?

She’s up for reelection in 2022 and will likely be primaried into dust. Especially since whoever wins will be running along side Mark Kelly, the worlds greatest fundraiser. I feel like the caucus would feel comfortable enough to let her fall in a primary knowing that Kelly will likely help boost whoever it is across the finish line. And it may end up being someone younger and more progressive, you could win Kelly some more support from the left flank.

IIRC she got a “Vote of no confidence” by the Arizona Democratic Party.. I’m lead to believe that means they’ve stopped short of kicking her out of the party, but it also means that they ain’t planning on supporting her (especially financially) in any reelection bid.
In related news, why is Sinema being a GOP plant a bad thing? Well let’s see what the GOP believes as of late:
A very stupid Qaren claims that ivermectin (the goddamned horse dewormer) won the Nobel Peace Prize. This one I have to confess my own ignorance, but is it even possible for a thing to win the Nobel Peace Prize, or is that just reserved for people? But for the record: it didn’t.
And also, the MyPillow Guy (he has a name but he’s such a caricature now that title is more appropriate) says over 2000 people over 200 years old voted in the election. One guy was even 850. For the record, yes Lindell. If there is a state where people are living that long I would in fact like to live in that state. Care to name it?
