The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Friday limiting the ability of the energy secretary to tap the strategic oil reserve without developing plans to increase the amount of public lands available for oil and gas drilling.

Representatives backed the bill 221 to 205, with support from only one Democrat. President Joe Biden would veto the legislation should it pass Congress, the White House said this week. The bill is expected to face an uphill battle in the Senate, which unlike the House, is controlled by Biden's fellow Democrats.

Republicans, who took control of the House this month, have pushed a series of political messaging bills that appeal to conservative voters. The SPR should be used only to address true emergencies, said Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a Republican and chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Biden made the USA tax payers billions by selling at 95 and buying bk at 70 plus helped at the pumps while republicans blocked everything in the filibuster to stop the oil from fkn us

How asinine.

To bad they don't know what they're doing

One small step for Republic-man, One Large step for the Conservative movement. MAGA movement = the Force behind the growth of the Conservative/Populist Party - not the Republican Corporate elite party

And that’s as far as it will get. Performative BS.

Republicans want high gas prices!

Hip hip hurray!!!!!

Didn’t we turn a profit from tapping into our reserves?

Almost as if they want high gas prices. Hmmmmm.

Will fail in senate -- thank god. Please stop wasting time HouseGOP

“Limiting drawdowns” is one way to say neutering the government from having any way at all to combat inflated oil prices. Only one who benefits from this would be oil companies. But it’s DOA anyway

So the GOP just voted to artificially inflate gas prices. Smdh.

Yeah... now that it is empty and we are days away from a nuclear war. Nice going.

Rep. Mary Peltola to serve on House Transportation and Infrastructure CommitteeAlaska’s lone member in the U.S. House of Representatives, Mary Peltola, has secured a seat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. It would be great if this would lead to a functioning marine highway. Whatever your expectations are, lower them. She’ll do what she’s told by the party leardership. Notice not many likes because she only has the seat due to RCV. She has sold the Natives out many times.
