Chevron disclosed $12 billion in earnings, reflecting a $9.6-billion jump over the same quarter last year and the firm’s biggest profit since 2020. ExxonMobil said its earnings were $14.5 billion, more than double what the company reported for the same quarter last year. #EpsteinClass getting rich off of the people, while these monsters crush the people. Oil companies have delighted Wall Street this week by reporting multibillion-dollar windfalls in their earnings statements, with ExxonMobil and Chevron reporting a combined $26.5 billion in profits during the second quarter of the year. But the immense profit stemming in large part from the war in Iran, and at the expense of #voters who will remember this depraved fuckery. #usa #news #midterms

A check can buy ads and consultants, but voters reward candidates who show up, listen, and knock on doors. Candidate quality plus real voter contact can beat a personal fortune. Down ballot Democrats, take heart and do the work. A checkbook is not destiny. #Voters #KnockEveryDoor

#Trump has ousted members of a #bipartisan federal #election commission that resisted his efforts to require would-be #voters to document their US #citizenship before registering. The White House on Friday confirmed the executive action against members of the Election Assistance Commission, which distributes federal grants to #states, oversees the testing of voting systems and maintains the national voter registration forms. #law #Constitution #ElectionInterference
