NEW: U.S. diesel prices have hit an ALL-TIME HIGH of $5.97/gallon. Remember: higher diesel prices mean higher delivery and heating costs. Your energy bill, your groceries, packages at your door— all of it will cost more. Donald Trump’s war with Iran did this.

The US President collected billions in illegal tariffs, the cost of which were passed on to consumers. Then when the tariffs were ruled illegal he refunded $166 billion to corporations. That's wealth transfer equivalent to the total GDP of Slovakia. And it's not even a scandal.

I'm generally happy to give someone like Burnham a bit of time to get things in order but I'm already pretty impatient for an explanation why an octogenarian holding a small protest placard gets a criminal record but 200 people dressed as paramilitaries blockading Dover can just get the train home.
