Thank you, America.gov!
Screenshot of America.gov answering a question about the highest diesel prices in U.S. history. It states that President Donald Trump was in office when the national average retail diesel price reached a record nominal high of $6.29 per gallon on September 14, 2026, according to the EIA.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.
One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mis

We are 100 days from the midterm elections. Democrats have a clear path to the majority in the House and Senate. Trump and the GOP's only strategy is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat. We will fight them in every district and in every state. And when we fight we win!

Withe regards to Mitch McConnell… a claim from an associate that he “spoke to” the Senator is a lot different than a claim of “spoke with”. So far, not claims have been “spoke to”.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

As it turns out classified documents are big business. He was not president while sharing these documents. He's not covered by immunity. When does the prosecution begin?

Trump appeared to have business motive for keeping classified documents, Jack Smith finds
The special counsel’s office found that Donald Trump held on to documents so secret that only six people could legally review them — and the team believed his reason for doing so was financial gain.
