Core inflation just hit its highest level in 6 months. Wholesale grocery prices up nearly 40%. Electricity up 10%. Does anyone remember what Trump promised would happen to prices once he was sworn in? I’m struggling to remember.

Remember the last time you saw a whale fly through the sky? Exactly. Windmills don’t kill whales. “There are ‘no links whatsoever between the offshore wind development activity and especially the humpback whale mortalities. None. Zero.’”.

The great thing about America is that we respect the law. Alina Habba doesn’t understand that concept, which is why she was found to be violating the law. And Trump doesn’t deserve respect. Inflation continues to rise, Trump bends the knee to Putin, and Trump acts corruptly.
“They should just be doing their job- respecting the president”. Exposed. Alina Habba says the role of a federal judge is to respect Trump.

Thank you to the California State Legislature for standing up to the out of control Trump Administration. Thank you to Governor @GavinNewsom for his leadership. California voters will now have the opportunity to decide this November if they want to hold Trump accountable.
#BREAKINGNEWS: The California State Senate has approved Gov. Gavin Newsom's redistricting plan, which would redraw the congressional map to slash five Republican-held House seats. The matter now heads to Newsom, who is expected to sign.

Trump and Republicans are seriously screwing up the economy. Consumer spending has slowed sharply. #Trumpflation.
