This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 WASHINGTON (AP) — For the second time this month, House Republicans are seeking to restrict presidential use of the nation’s emergency oil stockpile — a proposal that has already drawn a White House veto threat. A GOP bill set for a vote Friday would require the government to offset any non-emergency withdrawals from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve with new drilling on public lands and oceans. Republicans accuse President Joe Biden of abusing the reserve for political reasons to keep gas prices low, while Biden says tapping the reserve was needed last year in response to a ban on Russian oil imports following President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

More than 200 people were watching as he slowly inched the historic, 133-ton Victorian "Englander" home attached to the truck off of its lot and onto the Franklin Street hill. Even though Scott has moved more than 30 homes in his career, San Francisco doesn’t make it easy. “The most stressful part of that entire move was coming out onto that hill,” Scott said. “That was the hardest part is coming off a perfectly level lot and making a 90 degree turn onto that steep graded hill.
