Remember when we were mad at Trump for the price of eggs and not $5 gas? Good times.

Because of Trump's policies, within one year, we're dealing with these monthly increases: Water bill - up $60 Electric bill - up $120 Heating oil - up $250-300 How is a middle class family expected to sustain these increases?

On Alaska’s Adak Island, it costs more than $340,000 per year to provide internet service to hundreds of buildings — all but a few of them empty. The money being wasted is yours: propub.li/4zrY1cT with @adn.com

“When socialism finally came to America it wasn’t the lefty, Scandinavian version with universal health care and free college. Oh no. Instead, we got a command economy à la Chinese communism and it was ushered in by the right.”

Per this article there are nine Dan Sullivans in Alaska, so buckle up. www.adn.com/politics/202...

Two Dan Sullivans: U.S. senator gets a namesake challenger in Alaska — but is it a ‘trick’?
Another Dan Sullivan from Alaska — who is not former Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan — has apparently entered the U.S. Senate race to challenge the Republican incumbent who also shares the same name.

Paxton, who oversaw this deal, wants to talk about manliness? www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Inside the Waco child sex abuse case Ken Paxton’s office agreed to settle for one day in jail | Houston Public Media
The judge in the case insisted on a 60-day jail sentence. The controversy has roiled Texas politics and led critics to question the attorney general's ability to adequately prosecute crime.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social I see that Republicans are trying to brand you as "low-T". You should put out a poll asking women who they would rather have a fling with, you, Paxton, or Cornyn.

Question - Why don't ICE agents need to wear masks in the airport? If Republicans are refusing to pay TSA agents and claiming it's too dangerous for ICE agents to be seen in public without their masks, why can they be maskless there?

A poem for tonight by Amanda Gorman.
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars. Blood-blown like a rose.  Iced wheels flinched and froze, Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. 
If for us she arose, Somewhere in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been. 
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love & better angels if our nature.
