The national average price of gasoline has risen back above $4/gal for the third time this year, a new record. It was $2.98 on 02/26/26, before Trump’s Iran War.
The GOP led us here.
The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers.
The CDC is withholding infection rates.
The FDA is withholding information about food contamination.
The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data.
This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.
Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.
We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.
Trump's FBI raided an election office in Georgia, a state central to his baseless 2020 voter fraud conspiracy theories.
Meanwhile, he's continuing to let actual fraudsters and politically-connected crooks off the hook.
This is what weaponizing government looks like.
All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously.
But none of them has the balls to do it.
CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.
-Bust up monopolies
-Boost unions
-$20/hr fed minimum wage
-Ban Wall Street from buying homes
-Pass M4A
-Universal childcare
-Get rid of Trump’s tariffs
-Enact UBI
-Tax the rich
These are crucial steps to making America affordable again. Every Democrat must fight for this.
If Donald Trump can dismiss the murder and dismemberment of an American journalist by saying "things happen. that guy was very controversial and a lot of people didn't like him." Then I should be able to say the same thing about that piece of shit Charlie Kirk.
Trump has reportedly been in conversation with Paramount and his billionaire ally Larry Ellison about a potential takeover of CNN that would include firing journalists he dislikes.
Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.
“Trump criticized the new kickoff rules. What’s your reaction?”
Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub: “He doesn’t even know what he’s looking at. He has no idea what’s going on with the kickoff rule… and I hope he hears it.”
Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
Any man who calls a woman “piggy” is a fucking pig. Any man in a position of power who calls a woman “piggy” is a cowardly, misogynistic, weak, fucking pig.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK:
Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.
WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?
GOP: We knew the Dems would cave—- they always do. Their party logo should be a pillow holding a white flag.
DEMS: You agreed to vote on the ACA subsidies at a later date.
GOP: Have you met us before? Is there a single promise we’ve ever kept? What the fuck is wrong with you?!!
The Democrats who gave in may have acted out of genuine concern for the suffering caused by the shutdown, but this is a textbook example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions. By appeasing a political monster,
He lies in the morning,
he lies at night.
He lies when he’s snoring,
he lies to incite.
He lies when it rains,
he lies when it snows.
He lies thru his veins,
he lies when he picks his nose.
He lies in the Summer,
he lies in the Fall.
He lies to a plumber,
he lies to us all.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
