Hoping air traffic twitter tracks all the corporate jets flying into Davos again this year. I would love to see that carbon footprint

Unemployment is at 3.6%, down from 6.4% when I took office.

The fastest decline in unemployment to start a President’s term ever recorded.

Nice to see Freezing Order prominently displayed in Dulwich, U.K.

Let us see how long it takes for Algeria and Morocco make amends so that they can send gas though Spain

.@Billbrowder tells #TheView why he became one of Vladimir Putin's biggest enemies after he put his life aside as a businessman to make it his "mission to go after the people who killed [anti-corruption whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky] and make sure they face justice."

Weather over the #BlackSea has been cloudy for the past few days, hampering attempts at new imagery collections of the Russian #Moskva cruiser. Our last image, shown here, is from April 10, 2022. New imagery will be shared with our trusted media partners when available.

Can we get one of those canned videotaped things where the generals tell Putin the Moskva sank? @JuliaDavisNews

The Nigerian princes who wanted to share their riches with me seem to have been replaced in my email inbox by Russian oil refinery executives who want to share with me unclaimed Mazut-100.

I wonder if the later are more real than the former...

Putin: some clients from “unfriendly” countries are already falling behind in gas payments to Russia

Buying Twitter for $43 billion would be a fraction of Musk's net worth, but it is probably a lot more cash than he has lying around.

Would he want to sell $55 billion of Tesla stock — the most liquid part of his wealth — to buy Twitter? https://t.co/7ibph2PcRc

India has issued its long-range forecast for the upcoming monsoon season (June-to-September), anticipating a near-normal weather event: 99% of the long period average.

With global agricultural markets in chaos, the 2022 south-west Asian monsoon is key https://t.co/Jmhst0KlwC

The day of reckoning in the European gas market is coming rather soon as EU Commission and some capitals tell utilities to reject ruble payment.

The negative will test whether Putin is bluffing. But if he's not -- and so far in Ukraine, he hasn't -- then gas supply is at risk

Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for $54.2 per share in cash
