The Strait of Hormuz, Suncor & American Energy

Americans are feeling the squeeze from high utility bills, while Washington remains divided over legislation targeting energy costs and congressional stock trading. On today’s 10 Minute Drill, we break down the Senate’s latest votes on the Ratepayer Protection Act and congressional stock trading reform, and examine the fight over accountability and American energy policy. We also turn to the Strait of Hormuz, where the U.S. Navy and Gulf allies are working to counter Iranian attacks. What does the latest shift in the region mean for oil markets, American energy security, and President Trump’s strategy toward Iran? Ahead of Monday’s Supreme Court arguments in Suncor Energy v. Boulder County, we examine the battle over climate litigation and the broader question of whether state and local governments should be able to influence national energy policy through the courts. Plus, meet Annie Andrews, the Democrat running to flip a South Carolina congressional seat, and explore the Democratic Party’s effort to push back against the labels of “socialist” and “communist” ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — and the continued influence of the Democratic Socialists of America.
