Gas prices have soared since the start of the war with Iran in late February. American car buyers are now seeking out more fuel-efficient cars, like hybrids. But unlike their Japanese and Korean counterparts, most American automakers sell very few hybrid vehicle lines. cnn.it/46Z5umF

The midterms are being flooded with dark money & Trump is doing everything he can to suppress the vote. But remember — WE THE PEOPLE outnumber Trump and his billionaire backers. Keep phoning. Keep canvassing. Keep getting out the vote for candidates on the side of working people. It is essential.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

It's critically important that as many Democrats in Congress as possible point and laugh uproariously at Schmitt in every available venue. It's been several hours and Amy Klobuchar is STILL dunking on him. This is how you do it. Make his humiliation impossible to ignore. bsky.app/profile/klob...

how fucking nutso is it that Donny considers the revenue that our government takes in to be 'profits' for his personal use? and it's insane that the press just goes along with it. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I explain just how insane it all is. link is here: bit.ly/4AC7UFc
And it’s just fucking weird that Donny considers money taken in via taxes and tariffs to be profits. they’re not — they’re revenues.

This is a fundamental mistake that all these shit-gibbons who insist that ‘government should be run like a business’ make. Governments are not businesses. The revenues that a government takes in are — in any sane country — used to provide for the public well-being of its people. They’re not profits, for some tinpot fucksnoot like Donny to hoard for his own personal use.

And what’s all this nonsense about ‘Democrats don’t have any income’? There aren’t two treasuries, one for each major political party. There isn’t Republican money and Democratic money. It’s just money money.

Not only is it fucking insane that Donny believes this, it’s insane that every worthless scribbler of the corporate-controlled press just sits there and nods their head and goes, ‘well, I guess if Donny says so.’

None of this shit is normal. Is it really too much to ask of our media to stop treating it as if it were?

Trump called for a national boycott of a Canadian company that employs hundreds of Americans at plants in Kansas and Indiana, which pays their bills and feeds their families. Which would put them all out of work if successful. On Labor Day. Because he’s mad at Mark Carney.
