Canada fights our wars, buys our goods, and shares our longest border. But Trump says they’re worse than actual authoritarian regimes because they won’t roll over on trade? Imagine simping for dictatorship while trashing our actual best ally. Bffr. #momsky#sheshed

“Not much to be done” is Fox’s verdict with gas near $4.50 and diesel above $6.50 a gallon five weeks before the midterms. Apparently, Republicans can start a disastrous war, jack up every grocery and shipping bill, then shrug at the wreckage. Ask your MOC's to outline their plan

Raleigh teacher Brittney Bivins heard Trump call higher gas prices an “inexpensive price to pay.” She had a better answer: “He can afford the gas, but most of us can’t.” The national average had already reached $4.48 a gallon. Affordable for him; punishing for us.

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

“Farming, I don’t get to add a fuel surcharge onto my crops when I sell them.” That is the cruelty of a supply chain built to pass every cost down to the person growing the food. Idaho diesel rose nearly $2.50 a gallon in one year, right in time for harvest.
