I saw a gas station yesterday where diesel was over $9/gallon. The most popular diesel truck in the US, Ford F-250, has a tank size from 29-48 gallons. That’s between $261 and $432 for a full tank. Indeed says average pay for construction workers in CA is $25.19. Up to 17 hours of work to fill up.
LA Dodgers owner Mark Walters had a very good reason to corral the players into a WH visit. His company is under investigation by the DOJ & SEC. Private credit, billions in undisclosed loans transferred from his investment firms to his insurance firms. Gift link:

How are those “concepts of a plan” for health care coming along?
Side note, pretty interesting that my phone suggested “of a plan” when I typed in “concepts”.
Sheinbaum is bringing up Mexico to a level the US used to aspire to while trump reverts us to a shithole country. This keeps up and they’ll be stopping more people at the border going south before too long.

Kinda hate when people say “you can’t make this up” to emphasize how unbelievable something is. But you literally could make it up. Like, it’s not even that hard.

Data centers’ diesel backup generators are emitting pollutants that can cause health problems for residents.
That’s on top of contributing to higher electricity prices and sucking up communities’ water.
Is it any wonder communities across the country are organizing to stop them?
An FBI agent told me to my face once that there were so many moving pieces, that I would likely end up with more charges than my trafficker.
Full disclosure, this is the america ive always known.
My solar company (and former employer) has been sending me “urgent” notices for weeks that I need to now pay for cell service so my production data can be uploaded. The cell service sucked so it was switched to Wi-Fi. I just laugh but this is pretty diabolical.
I get almost no value from ai. I’m disgusted with the slop that comes out of it. I can write emails all by myself. We need so many things more than we need ai.
Boycott AI.
The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.
We’re all brainwashed to some degree. We’re just numb to the bullshit. We completely let it go that this crazy person faked his assassination attempt. Everyone knows it.
The weapon of mass destruction the world needs to fear is not a bomb. It is the selfish, hateful, racist, and astonishingly clueless president of the US.
I just read that the lowest average price for gas is $2.37 in Oklahoma. I just paid $4.99. Makes me think that the fed govt has fuck all to do with controlling gas prices.
Why did Trump prohibit Colbert from interviewing the Texas state senator, James Talarico, on his show?
What does Trump not want you to see?
Search YouTube for "james talarico colbert interview" and spend 15 minutes watching the dangerous interview that scares the shit out of Trump.
Yeah sure Storm the Capital, Change Laws of the Constitution, force Americans to get and pay for unobtainable requirements to vote..to weed out the (avg) of 4 illegal immigrant votes per Election
Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.
Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."
Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground
We don’t have all the Epstein files and that needs to be resolved. On the other hand, we must have enough to start prosecuting people for their crimes?!? Impeach and prosecute trump now. To hell with the unwritten rule about prosecuting a sitting president!
