As oil prices soar, remember: It was four days ago when Trump said he helped β€œstabilize” gas prices, touting the β€œdecisive action” his administration took β€œto help keep down the oil prices.”

Yeah, about that...

Republicans in 2024: Gerrymandered districts, selectively closed polling places, purged voter rolls, eliminated mail-in ballots, shortened polling hours, weakened voting rights legislation, and packed the courts.

Republicans in 2026: "Democrats are rigging our elections."

A new statue of President Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has popped up again on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Titled β€œThe King of the World,” the monument draws inspiration from Jack and Rose in β€œTitanic.”

Dissolve the agency in acid, and hold its leaders to account.

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again β€” Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them β€” But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

Trump has already spent at least $10 billion taxpayer dollars on this war in Iran… and that number is only going to go up.

Trump always finds the money for bombs, but not for Americans’ health care.

More ICE human rights violations.

People, including children and the elderly, were held for weeks in Colorado ICE hold rooms, without beds, in clear violation of ICE regulations.

And it gets worse…

BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation.

He says this could result in dismissals of indictments.

Three news reports over the weekend show we are nowhere near the end of what the Epstein files still can reveal. Key details from a victim corroborated, a cover-up in plain sight, and sketchy cash payments all raise big questions. My write-up in the replies.

Average price of gas is up 50 cents nationally since Trump launched his war with Iran β€” the fastest spike at the pump in years.

And for what? Trump can't even explain why he's forcing America into this disaster in the first place.

This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society.

And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.

Only 8+ days into Trump’s war, oil is over $100 a barrel, and gas prices have jumped more than 50 cents on average.

So much winning.

A draft-dodger bringing back the draft would be sensational.

Not really. Bartiromo included the draft in a laundry list of worries and Leavitt threw out her usual line about all options being on the table. But Leavitt was clearly referencing boots on the ground, not the draft. A smart opposition party (lol) would be grabbing mics and screaming "DRAFT" rn

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools β€” purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration β€” to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

When the Dems retake the House, they should force every one of those DOGE bros to testify and if there is any grounds for prosecution to do it swiftly.

Techies need to have inputs that enforce consequences on their actions.

absolutely nuts & partisanly (ntm personally) suicidal that Democrats keep chasing the knuckle-dragger vote instead of pledging to crush it

Senator mocked β€˜green energy crap.’ His house runs on it. Montana Republican Tim Sheehy voted to scrap solar tax credits after installing panels and battery storage at his Bozeman home.

Oh look the Senator that broke a the arm of Veteran protesting the war a few days ago is also a green energy hypocrite www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
