I don't do a lot of driving, gas price increases hurt, but not as much as for other people who commute, drive their car or truck for work. BUT my electric bill really hits me where it hurts. My average DAILY cost is $1.25 higher than last year!! even with very comparable usage. Thanks Trump & GOP.

On Robert Mueller: even if you did not like the Mueller investigation or report, he was a patriot and Marine who served his country with honor and should be respected for this and his service with the FBI following 9-11, . T is a bottomless pit of crassness.

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

Rep Lieu (D-CA) with a brilliant breakdown of the SAVE Act. Trump and MAGA Republicans know their policies are crushing the working class but instead of changing those policies they want to disenfranchise voters. Americans say #NoPayToVoteSAVEAct Democrats need to hold the line.

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

By Amanda Gorman: For Renee Nicole Good Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026 They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
