My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

Trump's Russian diesel deal offers little relief for Americans — and a political win for Moscow When U.S. President Donald Trump announced Oct. 9 that Washington had agreed to buy millions of tons of Russian fuel, he pledged that the deal would mean lower gas prices for ordinary Americans.

Of course the court's ruling is not workable. Anybody who has taken biology in school knows that gender is far more complex than just female and male. There are multiple variations and the idiots who came up with the idea of only two genders should be sent back to school.

“I could have given the criminals $10 billion instead” is not a winning message.
Screenshot of a MeidasTouch post on X characterizing Trump's $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" as a slush fund for fraudsters and insurrectionists, and summarizing his defense of it as claiming he could have taken even more money. Below is an embedded post from Donald Trump's Truth Social account in which he frames the fund as a sacrifice on his part, saying he gave up the opportunity to settle his legal cases for large sums and is instead helping others he claims were abused by the Biden administration.
