I am downright sick of this President attacking the millions of patriotic Americans who live in "blue" states and cities. We are ALL Americans and this type of rhetoric is divisive and sickening. What a disgrace.

Dyed diesel is no different from regular diesel, except it contains a small amount of dye…But it is exempt from the federal 24.4-cent-per-gallon federal highway tax and some state taxes that are used to fund road construction and maintenance. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/b...

The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.

Phew guys, we're in safe hands. 🙄 After reports from Russia’s Irkutsk region revealed a potential public health crisis, Donald Trump gave his thoughts on a seeming outbreak of the rare and often deadly pneumonic plague. Given his handling of COVID, some fear his approach to public health concerns.

Jesus said "Blessed are the peacemakers" not "blessed are the warmongers." Christian nationalism is unChristian and unAmerican. It is a Christ-like and patriotic act to oppose Christian nationalism.

From 2012 to 2016 (under Obama), home mortgage rates ranged from about 3.7% to 4%. Using a mid-point of 3.85%, that means a family that could afford a $2,000 monthly payment could buy a $534,000 home assuming a 30-year loand and 20% down. Under Trump, that family can only afford a $363,000 home.

Just a reminder that the few remaining experts at the CDC's food-borne illness division identified Taylor Farms as the source of the cyclospora outbreak very early on, but because the owner of Taylor Farms is a big Trump donor, he was able to prevent a recall for weeks as thousands fell ill.

Before the ACA, you couldn't get health insurance if you had a pre-existing condition, and that included everything from just being pregnant to having cancer. Obamacare was a giant step forward. Next: universal health care.

Everything Trump and his cabinet have said about the deal is false. Venezuelan law governing oil does not allow for 100-yr deals, or anything longer than 25 years. And US law doesn't allow us to own shares in companies. Plus, the deal as structured won’t bring new capital to Venezuela’s oil sector.
Experts are ultimately skeptical the oil deal can hold together. “The deal is like the big beautiful wall that Mexico will pay for,” said former US diplomat John Feeley.

‘Skin in the game’
It was less than a month after the January US raid that toppled Maduro that Exxon’s CEO, Darren Woods, said the country was “uninvestable” because of the “legal and commercial constructs and frameworks in place today”.

Two people familiar with the process said Trump began looking for a way to make sure the US had “skin in the game” – financial ownership that would put investors at ease. The potential answer became the US stake in Betancourt’s firm, North American Blue Energy Partners.

Though the White House and defense department say it has 35% ownership, the Pentagon told lawmakers on the congressional armed services committee in a written briefing seen by the Guardian it has “warrants” in Nabep: rights to purchase shares, rather than the shares themselves.
