Biden’s stalled Build Back Better measure calls for funding that would prioritize Made in America requirements. But economists note that China’s dominance in rare earths, for instance, means they would benefit from the spending as well. https://t.co/FeKYztB9Jk — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden says oil companies have 9,000 unused permits to drill. He has a point that the U.S. produced more during his first year than Trump’s first year, but having thousands of unused drilling permits is not unique to Biden’s tenure. https://t.co/DoyXDgBziz — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump’s actions regarding Ukraine led to his impeachment but did not rise to the level of treason, which is defined in the U.S. Constitution. The Republican Party does not have an official position to appease Putin. https://t.co/NlTeF2dBP1 — PolitiTweet.org

Footage saying it shows a downed Russian plane is actually from a 2014 short video by a German TV network. One version of the video posted on YouTube is captioned, "Star Wars TIE fighter crashes on a German highway." https://t.co/i5TxluzD6E — PolitiTweet.org

Biden says oil companies have 9,000 unused permits to drill. His number is correct, but he oversimplifies the situation. Drilling doesn’t start overnight after permitting, and it’s common for the U.S. to have thousands of unused permits. https://t.co/E30KaPbR5C — PolitiTweet.org

The president suggested in a speech announcing a U.S. ban on Russian oil imports it's on oil and gas companies to start drilling. But it’s not as simple as Biden made it seem, because there are some steps before companies begin production. https://t.co/0AiohHMHSF — PolitiTweet.org
