So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

Court documents show that local police in Portland, Oregon, had to step in to prevent DHS agents from removing evidence from the scene of a shooting. In multiple other shootings, DHS has grabbed evidence and kept it from local police. In Portland, at least, the local police would not allow it.

Just another fact as the White House spreads misinformation. Before Trump started a war with Iran, international shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz were: 1) Completely open to all vessels. 2) Completely within the territorial waters of Oman. 3) Completely free of charge. Iran had no role

Biden, not Trump deserves credit for lowering prescription prices. That ought to be in the headlines not just buried in the story especially given how quickly Trump and his WH turn everything into political propaganda including as we see in this case- a newspaper article.

What the president did not say is that the text of the article, published by the Post on Thursday, reported that while the Trump White House “took credit for” the biggest year-over-year drop in drug prices in more than 60 years in July, independent experts “said a Biden-era policy that requires Medicare to negotiate prices for some popular prescription drugs is more likely to be driving down costs”.

“The Inflation Reduction Act was a signature accomplishment of former president Joe Biden, a sprawling measure enacted in 2022 that aimed to lower prescription drug prices by requiring Medicare, the federal health program for the elderly, to begin negotiating the prices it pays drugmakers for an array of popular and costly prescription drugs,” the Post’s report noted. “The first price reductions took effect at the beginning of this year.”
