Stunning that corruption tops inflation as the issue Americans are most concerned with. Thank Trump and the GOP for both, and more. With early voting underway and 19 days to Election Day, we have an opportunity, if we move every Democrat and free-range resister vote. We need all hands on deck now.

Russia invaded Ukraine four years ago, after it occupied Crimea in 2014. Diesel, gasoline and heating oil didn't start climbing in the U.S. until 225 days ago, when Trump and Netanyahu attacked Iran. The world sees Trump dealing with a loaded deck and will never trust Putin to abide by a ceasefire.

Iowa is landlocked with no raw materials to manufacture steel. A plant must ship whatever it needs or makes by rail; trucks can't handle the load, and the Mississippi River won't save money. A plant and transit network do not exist in Iowa right now. All of it exists in Pennsylvania. #TrumpStunt

Trump's crypto bill is set to crash and burn in Congress. As a result, panic, ugliness and more delusional behavior as Trump again bears false witness. We try to avoid the stunts, but this is too big a lie, cast without any credible evidence, for the establishment press to let fly.

The kind of win you want to have as a first-term incumbent. Makes it harder to envision somebody taking a crack at you as a second term incumbent. Most of all, it speaks to Mara's quality as a governor's councillor and the hard work she did on the campaign trail to earn every vote. #Vote

Trump is desperate to divert attention from a new front in the Iran War, and the $4 for a gallon of gas most Americans are paying. Trump's election lies speech bombed, so now he's back on tariffs. Flashback: problem is as the war began Americans were already blaming Trump tariffs for higher prices.

Expect most lemmings to follow Trump off a cliff no matter what he says or does, but it's worth the effort to find disheartened Americans who voted for Trump in 2024. We all know someone who voted for Trump. Seek out approachable Trump voter pals. Don't debate; talk about what you have in common.

Talks to end the Iran War have languished for more than a week. Trump is phoning it in on re-opening the Strait of Hormuz while he and the GOP Congress focus on scheming to try to force taxpayers to pay for Trump's wasteful ballroom. As a result, oil prices are rocketing above $100 a barrel.

U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude oil officially crossed the $100 a barrel mark this evening. WTI and global benchmark Brent oil are both in the midst of their second big rallies since Trump and Netahyahu launched attacks on Iran. Oil company's are making a killing in this market.

Oil prices are surging again, with US benchmark West Texas Intermediate set to cross the $100 a barrel mark soon. It's a blow to U.S. consumers and it's causing fuel shortages elsewhere around the globe. The crisis began when Trump and Netahyahu launched attacks on Iran two months ago. #IranWar

Next conquest? It takes a feeble mind to call kidnapping a Venezuelan leader, causing a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, and watching Iran dictate the price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. conquests. For everyone else, Trump's follies are an embarrassment and a misuse of the U.S. armed forces.
