When you buy gas, food, and diesel, remember that Republicans in the House and Senate supported the war in Iran and the tariffs that are driving prices to record levels. Remember that when you vote.

Trump again shows he’s Putin’s agent by demanding Ukraine stop attacking Russian refineries. This to support Russian diesel exports which will fund Putin’s war on Ukraine, all necessary because of Trump’s unjustified war on Iran. Make Russia Great Again is Trump’s policy.

Fetterman is a pathetic excuse for a senator. Like McCormick, he’s shown to be a member of the MAGA cult. Despicable.

I used to be a Social Security trustee. How can we fix Social Security without cutting benefits or raising the retirement age? Scrap the cap. This is a plan that even some Republicans are starting to get on board with. Let me explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfZuB7XSFys

The bottles change; the grift doesn’t. Immigration panic, tariff pain, election lies, crypto hype, billionaire tax cuts and industrial-strength grievance — each hawked as the miracle cure for the damage caused by the last one. The villain is always somebody else. The bill always lands on you.
A densely detailed political cartoon styled as an old-timey county-fair advertisement. A heavyset, orange-faced showman with blond hair and an absurdly long red tie stands in a wagon beneath a huge sign reading “TRUMP’S MIRACLE SNAKE OIL.” He shouts, “Step right up! One bottle fixes everything! Believe me! Everyone else is a crook!” Shelves behind him hold remedies labelled Immigration, Washington D.C. Beautification, 2020 Election Fraud, FIFA Control, Tariffs, Mass Deportation, Border Wall, Crypto, Billionaire Tax Cuts, Trade War, Coal Revival and Grievance Fuel. His audience consists only of a bewildered elderly man and a toddler. Surrounding signs promise “alternative truth tonic,” warn “results not guaranteed — blame someone else,” and command: “Don’t think! Don’t ask! Just buy!”

Virtually every time someone is caught committing election fraud, it is a Republican. This is so well documented over the last 50 years. Hell, even the Heritage Foundations own records back this up. They KNOW, but they can’t rig it to stay in power by telling the TRUTH.

As Americans struggle with the cost of rent or mortgage payments, the president has a message for you: buzz off. He’s not interested. He made two billion off the presidency last year, and he couldn't care less about the hardships of ordinary people.
