Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.

Donald Trump: "We're going to be signing a document renaming artificial intelligence to Super Intelligence. We will also be renaming measles to Happy Rash, the White House to Mar-a-Lago North, the Constitution to Trump Toilet Paper, and child rape to Republican Hug."

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Republican behavior at the Jack Smith hearing reinforces a fact that should be obvious by now: They will stop at nothing and lie about everything to seize total power. They are fascist traitors.

Yes, Republicans. The entire news cycle on your moronic Jack Smith hearing will now be dominated by Eric Schmitt’s basketball game buffoonery and John ‘Foghorn Leghorn’ Kennedy asking Smith about the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Brilliant job, once again by the feckless fools.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

I'm not sure I've seen this level of GOP panic in my lifetime. The leaks have become a flood. Republicans are privately admitting this looks like 2006. They're saying the map is disintegrating. One even predicts a "wipelout." On the pod, we bring you all of it: newrepublic.com/article/2159...

Trump Erupts in Wild Panic as GOP Midterm Leaks Grow Urgent: “Wipeout”

The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.

US Ambassador to Greece has to be one of the greatest jobs you can get. You can represent your country in a beautiful place with great people and amazing food. But Guilfoyle had to go straight to plotting, scheming, and generating controversy. Because of course she did.

A Trump 2024 Campaign Ad Returns, Now Brought to You by the Government
The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
