Trump Set to Name Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ to Advance Rocky Truce
US President Donald Trump is expected this week to name global leaders for a “Board of Peace” to administer his ambitious post-war plan for Gaza, officials say, even as a standoff between Israel and Hamas raised doubts about the prospects for success.

This piece on the Colorado oil lease auction reminds me of a word I heard recently from the CEO of Exxon while discussing new oil opportunities....

"uninvestable"

Lot of that going around.

There is plenty of oil left in the world but not a lot left that makes money at $60/barrel.
Republicans forced the Bureau of Land Management to put over 20,000 acres of public land in Colorado up for auction at the discount price of $10/acre with reduced royalty rates for oil and gas drilling.

No one bid for it because demand for oil is crashing though. 🔌💡

Bureau of Land Management oil and gas auction gets zero bids in Colorado
The Trump administration wants to expand drilling on public lands, but oil and gas developers expressed zero interest in Thursday’s sale.

It’s time we started taking Trump’s threats seriously.

God forbid if Greenland is attacked, the UK should immediately sanction the Trump Organization and think twice about whether we want US forces on our soil at all.

Fake AI-generated videos shared by Musk about Venezuela received millions of views.

Elon Musk re-posted an AI-generated footage of Venezuelans crying on their knees, thanking Trump and the US for freeing them from Nicolas Maduro.

And Musk opposes laws that penalise fake and abusive videos.

What should the world do about Trump's attack on Venezuela, threats to other countries?

The UK hasn't condemned the attack; obeys Trump; won't call for sanctions imposed on other states for violating the UN charter.

The era of gangster states is with us.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
