The cost of fuel oil is up 74% in the last year, tacking onto energy bills across the country. President Trump promised to lower prices, yet families are having to foot higher prices.

Retired guy. I used to do things and used to know a bit about politics and healthcare. Apparently what I thought I knew was not true.

I put a list of things that Trump officials have done or proposed since last Friday to help Russia kill Ukrainians and fund Russia’s genocidal war machine.. Seeing it all together is even more damning

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Translation: I know I'm losing farmers and ranchers. I gotta do something and fast.
Trump: "The United States is working on a massive Deal with respect to the purchase of Potash from Belarus. The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada, very good news for our Farmers and Ranchers. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Presidents with nothing to hide don’t ban reporters. But this President is historically corrupt—so he has a LOT to hide. Stand up for the Free Press. Every leader should condemn this.
Trump: "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW, and Politico ... from the White House as a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!"

"Sir," they said with tears in their eyes, "Sir, sniffle, you're a hero, now come with us.!"
Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

Agree with this 100%. (& please give your pet a hug for me!) #HappyLaborDay
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.

Next week, billionaire donors and their puppet politicians will gather at a convention in Dallas to toast their own corruption. In the shadow of this Billionaire Ball, we’ll be collecting food to help Texans struggling with rising grocery prices. JOIN: bit.ly/GroceryDriveTX

We're deep into Mad King territory here and yet there will still be people on the Sunday shows today pretending that the president isn't a mentally deranged despot
“Trump on Sunday said in a post on Truth Social that NBC's Kristen Welker will be reported to the FCC for ‘rebuke or punishment’, after he said she reported the Republican President had mixed results in his endorsement of candidates.” I remember when this would be unthinkable

What worries me, and the legals I've heard, is that SCOTUS used MAGA language in their shadow docket ruling. They sure sound like they're going to weasel-word another decision on behalf of their pal Trump. It gives me nightmares.
If you were to list the top 1000 real problems in the United States, voter fraud wouldn't be one of them. It’s not even in the top 10,000. Donald Trump made this up in order to make it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat.

I won't let the unacceptable conditions on the USS Lincoln & elsewhere go without answers & accountability. Our servicemembers put their lives on the line for our country; they deserve better, and they were promised better. I'm demanding an immediate independent investigation.

This piece was so funny since everyone who's lived in Seattle knows how conservative the Times is. Like they routinely endorse state Republicans against a Democrat majority in the legislature.
