Gas prices are up 24.6% from a year ago and still significantly higher than they were before the Iran War. Meanwhile, the world's 8 biggest oil companies have made a $93B profit windfall in just the last three months. Big Oil is raking it in as the world burns — and we're paying for it.

America has experienced oligarchy thrice in its brief history. The first was under the slaveholding founders The second, the robber barons, a century later. A third American oligarchy emerged around 1980 — and has only gotten more powerful.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

In USA, lawfare is necessary to defend people's rights, but harmful when used to strip rights away. Thank God for people in Congress and the judicial system working hard to defend rights "of the people, by the people, for the people." Corporations are not people, they are profit-making machines.

BREAKING: Todd Blanche has released what he calls a rescission of the slush fund (left). The last lawsuit he mentions is mine (Gill v DOJ). This doesn't change the fact that the "settlement" setting up the fund is still in effect. On the right, Blanche is LEAVING IN PLACE Trump's tax immunity.

Securing our democracy and restoring the rule of law is NOT a spectator sport. People need to actively fight against this corrupt duo. Senators only fear losing their power and priviledge when Americans lose patience. Let GOP know you've lost yours NOW. The Epstein files are only the tip of iceberg.
