Dr. Richardson's Letter this morning. Two paragraphs that are a slap in the face of every American trying to make ends meet. "Rising costs contrast painfully with reports from today that those higher prices are sending oil company profits skyrocketing. Steve Kopack of NBC News reported today that oil giant BP’s profits are at an 18-year-high and Chevron’s earnings are up more than 180% from a year earlier. On the campaign trail in 2024, Trump asked oil executives to donate a billion dollars to his campaign, calling it a “deal” considering how much money they would make from the regulatory cuts and new permits Trump promised. That investment seems to have paid off. At a rally on October 24, Trump commented to attendees, “I wonder if I should say this,” then went on to say that “our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars because of what’s happened in the Middle East.” He continued: “My people said, ‘Please don’t mention that, sir,’ because people are paying a little higher. But what we’ve done for this country, we’re making money like this country has never made before.” He finished: “I don’t give a damn: I’m going to say it. We’re making a freaking fortune.”" https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-30-2026 #HeatherCoxRichardson #Vote #TimeForRevolution #KickGOPOut #MoveAwayFromPetroleum
