it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

Honestly I’ll probably never shop there again. Boycotting usually makes me realize I never should have been buying their crappy poor-quality cheaply-made but overpriced products anyway.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

If you need the real news watch CBC or BBC. They correct every Trump lie. Which is pretty much everything he says.

After months of uncertainty, Clyburn says he’s running for 18th termΒ  β€’ SC Daily Gazette U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, 85, South Carolina’s longest-serving congressman, is running for an 18th term.

I’m a Democrat (unless I’m given the choice of a candidate who’s further left and can win), but THIS NEEDS TO STOP. No 85 year old should still be in office, period.

I went from a good gold plan for $500 a month to a barebones high deductible/out of pocket pretty terrible plan for $900. It ate my entire yearly raise. Meanwhile prices on EVERYTHING else continue to skyrocket. Republicans DO NOT CARE about working Americans.

Not my fault. It’s Pete’s, Jared’s, and Marco’s.

Our president is one of the most arrogantly stupid leaders in the history of this planet.

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

There are plenty of reasons for Trump to be attacking Iran:

-Fulfilling bargains with other Arab states
-More rank profiteering
-Distraction from Epstein
-Distraction from his destruction everywhere

None of them include making the world safer or Americans’ lives better.

The craziest thing about the price of Oil doubling in one week is that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.

The orange felon made sure to lower US flags to half-staff for fascist propagandist podcaster Charlie Kirk but not for civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson or the 6 soldiers he killed with his war in Iran.

I’m Gen X, and every Republican president since I’ve been old enough to vote has crashed the economy and left it to Democratic successors (who often get blamed for it) to clean up. Every single one.

Tennessee Wants to Let Schools Ban Immigrant Kids, Threatening to β€œEnd Public Education as We Know It” A Tennessee bill would take the right to education away from undocumented children. The Heritage Foundation is pushing it in other states.

Literally everything the Heritage Foundation suggests is nauseating

β€œThe state’s proposed β€œtrigger laws,” …are direct challenges to Plyler v. Doe, a narrowly decided 1982 Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to a free K–12 public education regardless of immigration status.”

If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.

Just when there were signs the UK economy was turning a corner, Trump does something else to absolutely fuck it. And then he has the gall to question whether we're a good ally.

If you think that Kamala lost because she was a worst candidate I know you are ignorant by choice.
