Dealing with our biggest problems, like affordability, requires laser focus. Oil prices are at historic lows, thanks in large part to Trump. But housing, insurance, and other prices are too high. Our problems could worsen if we try to control a foreign country run by gangsters.

Bessent: If something happens… in Venezuela that we could really see oil prices go down even more. Oil and gasoline prices are down substantially under President Trump. That is really the key to affordability.

Aussies need wake up & realise what is happening in our country. We are being scammed. We are paying extreme, high prices & Aussies are falling into poverty while our Government gives our resources away to foreign countries for ‘free’.

We need to have: ✍🏻More jobs for Texans 💪🏻 Support the Texas national guard 🐂 Help our farmers and ranchers 👩🏼‍🎓More spots for American medical students Taxes are too high, car insurance is too high, toll bills are too high. We need a stronger middle class. Our elected officials are too busy representing foreigners and ignoring our problems. #texas

Many of our problems as a country, except those rooted in the injustices of the past, are a result of high unemployment. Whether it is crime or the scourge of GBV, unemployment is at the centre of our social ills. By dealing decisively with unemployment, over 80% of our problems as a country can be resolved. #ANCYLatWork

Between throwing our taxpayer dollars at a war with no plan, no preparation, and tanking our economy, Trump has been busy. And now, while Trump celebrates higher oil prices, Americans are facing higher prices at the pump because of this war. We have to stop this madness.

TRUMP FIRES BACK AT DEMS ATTACKING HIS VENEZUELAN OPERATION. TRUMP: “Well, look, these are WEAK, STUPID people, and they’re just trying to save themselves from almost destroying our country.” “If I didn’t get elected, our country would not… I don’t even think we would have a country right now. We were heading down the path of destruction. We had inflation, we had high prices.” “They’re the ones who caused the high prices, not us.”

Hungary's Foreign Minister Szijjártó: The EU ban on Russian oil and gas is insane. Truly insane. Ensuring national energy supply is part of national sovereignty. Thanks to our agreement with the U.S., we can buy Russian oil and gas at lower prices.

If you feel like prices are too high, what were you doing two years ago? I feel like prices have been high for basic needs, but it seems like now everyone wants to talk about it. Prices in my budget are about the same for the same amount of goods. Grocerywise, anyway. I also know that housing is a mess, but hasn't that been a mess for years, too?

High drug prices are bankrupting Americans and our country. It’s long past time for our colleagues in other countries to step-up and pay into the cost of drug research and development.

"We're importing too many people, 143,000 came into the country last year" David McWilliams says it's almost impossible to achieve housing targets if your population is rising and the problems in the UK will look like chicken feed compared to the problems in Ireland if we don't get our house in order.

Trump serenades the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers: "We are now drilling more oil than any time, any country ever in history. And oil prices in many states are down to $1.99 a gallon. That's like a major tax cut."

So Gil, an American analyst: "If we drag out the war with Iran, the US will collapse like the Soviet Union." Gil in an interview with Steve Bannon: "This conflict with Iran, if we continue it, will last forever. It will be another endless war. I know Trump said it would be a four-day war and hoped it would be like with Venezuela, but that's not the case - much more forces are involved here... The biggest victory Trump can now achieve is to withdraw from this conflict, leave the Middle East, and we need to focus on internal problems now. This spring alone, more than 100 billion dollars have already been spent on this conflict. Gas prices are high. You know, strategic oil reserves are almost at zero. We need to leave the Middle East. As I've already said, it's a trap, and it's draining our strength. The Soviet Union collapsed due to its conflicts in Afghanistan in the 1980s, and the same will happen to us. We can't, our credit is exhausted, we're on our last legs financially."

We can't have new oil and gas if we are to stay within internationally agreed safe climate limits, but more to the point its our dependency on oil and gas that has left us so vulnerable to higher energy prices in our homes. Tessa Khan on #SkyNews #ClimateEmergency

Leavitt: "We understand. We hear you. We see you. We are fully tracking this short-term fluctuation in oil and in diesel prices."
