So when will some reporter tell Trump the AAA average gas price is over $3 and then ask him to explain his $2 a gallon statement?

Simply put, none of this is true. In tomorrow's column I note the average price of gas is more than $3/gallon, not close to $2, but whatever. And the Walmart Thanksgiving thing has already been repeatedly debunked. This is a rambling loon living in a made-up world where others tell him fake things.

Since 2015, Trump has never been able to turn out his low-political engagement voters (who are very hard to reach in polls) in elections when his name is not on the ballot. The pattern continues.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published February)

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

I’m re-upping this, even though I know it won’t matter at all, but I want maybe a few extra people to know that the White House liaison to DHS—who is already known to have expressed Nazi tendencies—linked yesterday to a well-known white nationalist’s web site.

My pitch to progressives would be that you need to think long and hard about how awful — racist, transphobic, a climate denier whatever else — you think I am and then assimilate the information that I’m a Clinton / Biden / Harris voter and Democrats need to win the votes of people way to my right!

What Democrats need to do is neither embrace the ideas of the Bernie / AOC / Mamdani faction nor obsessively freeze Bernie / AOC / Mamdani out. What they have to do is be tougher on crime and illegal immigration and prioritize broad-based prosperity over emissions reductions and identity politics.

It’s far from certain that James Comey will be indicted After all, Jeanine Pirro struggled getting indictments in DC But even if charges are brought, given Trump’s tampering, a judge could still dismiss the case Because in America, we don’t decide guilt before determining if there’s even a crime

Just wrapping themselves in idiocy. As if it’s a badge of honor. You’re in charge of public health in the state. You’re doing something that you know will negatively impact public health. And you’re doing nothing to prepare people for the ramifications. Proudly. Republican governance in action.

"Christians" in Congress ignoring Jesus's command to not pray in public (Matthew 6:5-7) to beseech permission to ignore Jesus's command to give to the poor (Matthew 19:21) with their hideous Big Ugly Bill. These are not Christians. They are selfish scoundrels who only pretend to follow Jesus.
