FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza.
It's 25 degrees outside.
Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"
Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Canadian government officials, what are you still doing on X in 2026?

A note for Canadians: export of Venezuelan heavy crude (similar to WCS from Cnd oilsands) was down to 100-200kbpd to Gulf Coast refineries.
In absence of pipeline constraints, today will have little effect on differential between WCS and WTI.
Longer-term, it may depress price of WCS.

I sure would hate to be an oil-rich country whose sovereignty the US doesn't recognize within easy striking distance of US soil. That would be scary!

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.
This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

While Trump invades Venezuela to secure oil supply, implies threats to Mexico and Canada to do the same, separatists travel to Washington to negotiate Alberta becoming a 51’st state.

One of the reasons we may not see the “price benefit” of a regime change war is that the global market for WTI/Brent is currently oversupplied.
The trick for AB revenues is not just the absolute price of WTI, though this is important. It’s also the *difference* between WTI and WCS.

Has anyone seen a reaction from Smith yet?
And one more last-last thing: lawless US foreign policy and acts of naked imperialism are, without fail in my lifetime, applauded/encouraged by the oil and gas companies in Calgary. Every time. So watch for that, and understand the perspectives you may be reading from academics, think tanks etc

Next time you look at your greatly increased monthly bill for healthcare, remember that Republicans chose to use the money set aside for supplements to defray your costs to, instead, invade Venezuela to make ExxonMobil even richer.
Thank them with your votes.

In Alberta, this happens, sort of, through the Caring Hands program. The Caring Hands program provides a volunteer to families with newborn multiples (twins, triplets, etc) in their home for a few hours per week.
