19 million barrels🛢️
That's the entire cushion left in the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
SPR sits at about 319.5 million barrels, the lowest since 1983
Estimated minimum operating level: around 300 million barrels
The gap between the 2: roughly 19 million barrels before hitting the floor
Refilling it back to historical norms could take years and tens of billions of dollars
Built after the 1973 oil embargo so the US would never get caught flat footed again.
We're close to finding out what happens if it does.
The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is now ~19MM barrels away from estimated minimum operating levels. There very soon will no longer be a safety buffer to protect the world from further losses out of the Strait.
My six year old just took his head phones off mid chicken tender and asked me “Dad, if you died, would mommy marry another dude?”

One big US soccer thought: our youth development has to get more affordable. One of my kids plays travel. It’s at least $5k a year & this isn’t even super high end. We can afford it, thankfully, lots can’t. Youth sports costs in the US are out of control, soccer more than most.
U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.
Happy 80th birthday to my friend George W. Bush!
Your friendship—and that of your father and your entire family—has been one of the great gifts of my life. It has always reminded me that long before we’re politicians, we’re fellow Americans and, above all, human beings.
And for the next month, I’m especially grateful to finally have someone older than me! Wishing you many more years of good health, happiness, and friendship.
Our country is stronger when we remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

In a culture of division and negativity,
Remember this.
“But each morning and each evening, let us remember the advice of my fellow Bostonian, the Reverend Phillips Brooks: ‘Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.’”
