Today, the average price for regular gasoline is $4.49. Diesel is at an all-time record-breaking price of $6.53 per gallon. And both types of fuel are predicted to remain costly and continue to rise through the second quarter of 2027 at the earliest.

Broken down into individual years, the prices were: * 2020 Average: $2.17 per gallon * 2021 Average: $3.01 per gallon * 2022 Average: $3.95 per gallon

Yes, regular gasoline reached $5.01 during the week of June 13, 2022. What they don't know or are lying about is that the average price for regular gasoline in the U.S. from early 2020 through the end of 2022 (from the beginning of COVID through the recovery) was only about $2.95 per gallon.

The current favorite whataboutism from conservatives is "What about gas prices during COVID, libtard? It hit a record!" Don't let them get away with it.

Utah's vibe: A white man named Christian Young crashed a party, yelled racial slurs at attendees, told an Afro-Cuban man Trump was going to deport him, punched him in the face w/o knowing he's a congressman, and then screamed racist remarks while running away. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The only reason this guy is even in charge is because he's occupying a seat for a made-up position that was created to get around congressional approval. The IRS has had at least six Commissioners in the last year, and now they're not even trying to get a new one appointed.

Republicans had six months to push back when Trump refused to disburse already-provided funds for various programs. They didn't. Republicans could have, at any point in the last nine months, removed the filibuster in order to pass a continuing resolution by themselves. They didn't.

What Kimmel actually (and correctly) said was that "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Stop helping fascists in their promotion false narratives. Jimmy Kimmel *did not* say that Charlie Kirk's killer was a right-winger. The most frustrating thing about this situation is that people on both sides of the argument keep *falsely* insisting that he did.

Fox & Friends' Brian Kilmeade it's still on the air after saying we should "Just kill 'em" while speaking about unhoused people, but Jimmy Kimmel's show was canceled after Kimmel said Charlie Kirk's suspected murderer was a MAGA supporter. Make it make sense.
