On Fox Business this morning, Chevron Chair and CEO Mike Wirth discusses all of the records that the company has broken last year.

"Record" production, record distributions to shareholders, etc...

Yet they're laying off 15%-20% of their workforce.

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall.

That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.
