Donald Trump and his war in Iran are to blame for our nation's sky-high diesel and gas prices. His latest ploy—buying fuel from his friend Vladimir Putin—reeks of weakness and will help pay for Russia’s war but will do nothing to make life more affordable for American families.

So true, no mention of the actual ads, showing Islamic Jihadists driving through the streets of Michigan shooting machine guns, implying that this is what will happen if Abdul El-Sayed is elected. Why not just print the truth: racist, bigoted lies!

Notice the bias in the NYT headline and sub headline: "rescue" and "save". Why not report the truth? stealing the election with illegal bribes in an effort to end democracy

The world’s richest person has quietly become by far the biggest known midterm donor, trying to save Republicans’ Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

It’s “Trump says” time again in mainstream media.
Showing Reuters and CNN headlines about an alleged Russia-Ukraine “energy ceasefire” that start with “Trump says” because they’re based on his social media post with no detail. “Trump says” stories are often empty calories.

Turns out that Trump's announcement of an "energy ceasefire" in the Russia-Ukraine war was bullshit. Turns out that major media will keep falling for it every time.

It would be nice if the news media would ask Republican candidates why they're welcoming big-bucks campaign help from a white supremacist who supports fascist movements both in the U.S. and abroad.

Trump cuts a big-money oil deal with Putin, an indicted war criminal, & dumps Zelenskyy, a democratic ally. My new book, "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America," explains how this came to be as part of Putin's shadow war against the US. Check out HowRussiaWon.com

While I'd love to see Trump finally receive some justice for all his crimes, at this point I'd just like to see him stopped. In any possible way and begin the slow and painful process of digging out of this mess. I really don't even blame Trump. I blame anyone who is going along with this shit.

I hate it when US officials refer to warfare, includng the deaths of thousands of noncombatants, as "kinetic engagement." Euphemism is the weapon of charlatans.

The news media invite this guy on TV to lie to the public. Then they act like they're doing their job by pushing back on his lies. But if they were really doing their job – informing the public – they wouldn't keep asking him to come back on the air and lie some more.

Good point. As a resident of Pennsylvania, for two years before the 24 election, I could not turn on a TV or open a computer without watching an ad that Biden has dementia. If Biden has dementia then Trump has it a million times worse. It worked for MAGA & yet I see not one ad from dems about Trump.

Good God! Is that an actual question from someone claiming to be a news reporter? Does Welker have any understanding of anything that has happened in the last two years? Any other person would be impeached for things Trump does multiple times each day. The news media is failing.
