However, unless an invasion plan covers specifically taking over and operating the drilling and transportation and shipping facilities, then, due to oil shortage, the price will go up.
Since all these are vulnerable to guerrilla activity, the price is definitely going up.

The Epstein Files bill has a lot of protections in it to prevent Bondi from doing what we all suspect she's going to do: hold back or redact because of an open investigation or national security concerns. If she improperly withholds, she'll be sued, and SCOTUS will eventually decide.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Incompetence is the watchword of this administration, but it must not stand as a defense to actual malice and insurrection.
Their sheer incompetence and general ickiness to most people are mostly canceling out their evil and ambition.
I'm fully happy to say that we're in some form of unconsolidated competitive authoritarian regime - I think it's probably your best way of describing what's going on. Though I'd also argue that particular nature of American politics is not just limited to Trump.
