MAGA complained about high prices for 4 years to now having no problems at all with higher prices just because Trump told them toโ€ฆ.

Trump has doubled his net worth to over $5 billion in the last 6 months and handed himself a billion-dollar retrofitted jet courtesy of US taxpayers but hey, glad his $33k monthly paycheck was donated. Heroic stuff.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "I would say to the Trump supporters that he's betrayed you. He's lied to you about Medicaid... He's lied to you about supporting working people... He told you he was going to release the Epstein files, and he's lying to you about that as well."

Wary of sticker shock, retailers clash with brands on price hikes Caught between rising costs from tariffs and belt-tightening consumers, big retailers are clashing with the producers of consumer brands such as Nivea-maker Beiersdorf and brewer Heineken , as they look to avoid sticker shock that could hurt sales.

Thank you, Texas Dems, for standing up for democracy.

Playing fair has gotten Democrats nowhere against an administration that keeps rewriting the rules to stay in power and ignores the very people who elected them.

60 years after LBJ signed the Voting Rights Act, the fight for democracy is still on & Obama isnโ€™t holding back.
Republicans are doing exactly what the VRA was meant to stop: purging voters, closing polling places, and rigging maps. Defend Our Voting Rights!

MAGATized shit rag NY Post is trying to make this whole Epstein debacle about Bill Clinton, not realizing that nobody gives a f**k about him anymore b/c he's not the president. Trump, who was Epstein's best friend for 15 years, is the current PEDOdent in control of our lives.

Why is the Trump administration detaining green card holders without cause, blocking legal counsel, and refusing to tell families where they are?

Will Kim has lived here since he was five. Heโ€™s getting his PhD, researching a Lyme disease vaccine at Texas A&Mโ€”and ICE disappeared him at SFO.

When people are adversely affected by whatโ€™s actually happening to them, theyโ€™ll finally understand what gaslighting means. People donโ€™t care what anyone says when they see their lives taking a downturn & they canโ€™t afford food, shelter or basic necessities. That will finally be their wakeup call.

One of the things I remind our community of during Coffee With Texas Paul regarding the impending economic crash is to look for the red flags to get a sense of timing and severity. On that note, animal shelter populations are exploding. A very sad red flag indeed. Happens every crash.

If you're uninformed, DHS is constantly tracking and preventing domestic groups from doing things like attacking power grids. Successful attacks don't happen often. Guess why. It's kind of like vaccines.

It should last until there's a nationwide law against it, not just until the next election.

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If youโ€™ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

The Supreme Court prepares to end voting rights as we know it And they don't want you to notice.

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down.

That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
