than Republicans, according to the poll, which also found much greater enthusiasm about voting in this November's elections among Republicans than among Democrats.

Oil executives took turns defending their companies during Wednesday's hearing with the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, pushing back on accusations of price gouging and citing theas the source of the rise in gas prices, with President Joe Biden coining it"Putin's price hike," while Republicans have argued that Biden's energy policies are to blame.

F the people who are against accepting Ukrainian refugees. We need people like them who care so much for their democracy.

Wow abc, this wording is quite the Democrat party public relations repair effort. As an independent, I’m tired of media bias on both sides. You're adverts about media trust now seem manipulative. Biden was sloth slow to help Ukraine & still won’t cut all ties with Russia.

REALLY YOU STOP THE WAR WITH MORE WEAPONS ?

Sending a few stealth fighter should help. Aren't they invisible after all?

Sounds like the media has done an excellent job of selling the war to Americans. But how is Joe and the democratics going to fair in the midterms?

🙏

Good to see the truth is finally breaking through

Ahhh yeah right...I'd say fake news as usual!! 😆

Absolutely support all help to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraine

But they’ll vote for Republicans aligned with Putin who enabled him, conspired with him, and brought us to this moment? Mmm kay.

.abbydphillip told her CNN audience last Sunday 'Americans aren't buying Bidens blaming Putin for high gas prices' And as I suspected, she was just flat out wrong!
