I guess Michigan isn't one of those "certain states" with gas under $2.
Trump: But the gas has gotten to the lowest level in decades. And you're seeing $1.99, $1.98. 8, I saw $1.95 at certain states. Not California, because every time it goes down, they add taxes. You’re at $6-$7. They just add taxes… terrible governor

Trump's blocking of the Epstein files illustrates how the political elite will always protect themselves. The law doesn't pertain to them. MAGA is finally learning something we progressives have always known to be true.

Over a hundred are dead in Texas due to national, state, and local MAGA cultism. Every Democratic Senator and Congressperson should be calling for Kristi Noem's resignation today.

Wondering when Democrats will campaign against ICE. And for those afraid to do so right now, what will it take?.

"Democrats" like Dean Phillips believe those advocating for popular, progressive, populist economic solutions are more dangerous than fascism. That's Phillips is the posterchild for why corporate, establishment Democrats lost working class voters.
Is there room for a Zohran Mamdani and a Dean Phillips in the Democratic Party? "The answer ultimately I think is no," @DeanBPhillips tells me.

God didn't care about the firefighter's life, I guess? Lisa, are you also saying God saved his life so you and your Dear Leader could end the lives of thousands in your district by gutting their Medicaid?.
One year ago today, God saved President Trump’s life so he can save America.

Stop propping-up fascists and whack-jobs, Aric. Don't get mad when truth slaps you in the face. And don't get mad about violence against politicians when you celebrate the gun over the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of all Americans.
In 3 days it will be one year since the President was shot. Just this week law enforcement in Texas were shot in a coordinated attack on a CBP facility in the name of “fighting facism”. Yet Democrats like @RepRheingans continue to call Republican’s Nazi’s and give a dog whistle

It seems to be the case with the elite political class in the United States, even though a majority of Americans oppose our country's involvement in Israel's genocide.
Israel correctly realized that if it killed enough people, with enough regularity, all of the massacres would kind of blur together and each individual atrocity would stop getting much attention.
