by Shauneen Miranda, Florida Phoenix May 23, 2024 WASHINGTON — As Democrats continue to ramp up their push against the oil industry, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and others on Thursday called out big oil companies and their executives for high gas prices heading into the heavily traveled Memorial Day weekend.

The Pioneers’ second NCAA tournament championship, however, will have to wait for another year.
