Day 278 - Trump swore numerous times that within 1 year of his inauguration, gas (and all other energy) prices would be cut in half. So, here's your daily reminder that gasoline prices are still not below $1.55/gallon as he promised.

He also promised to release the Epstein files.
Nope. Nope. Nope.

With the government SHUT DOWN, they're still spending $7B/day more than they take in from taxes.

$7+ billion per DAY.

With the government SHUT DOWN.

Debt to the Penny | U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data Debt to the Penny is the total debt of the U.S. government and is reported daily. It is made up of intragovernmental holdings and debt held by the public.

bone spurs had mnuchin take down this website during his first term. I am surprised he hasn't told them to break the bots Biden had put in charge of posting the data.

Also, $200 x 7 million would be $1.4 billion, so... poor mathing on their part, too.

Also, poor research on their part... here in Michigan another group (the finish line for an Alzheimers 5k walk or something) had the Capitol grounds reserved in the morning, so Lansing's rally didn't start until 3pm. I'd guesstimate between 1000 and 10,000 people there until 5pm when the rain came.

Make the 2nd act tearing up that ugly ass patio melanie put in then restoring Jackie's Rose Garden, and you'll be a shoo in, George. Pick Kamala as your veep, then resign after you get those 2 items checked off the to do list, and MAGAts would simply implode.

Regular unleaded was $2.579 when I filled up Friday. Today when I drove past that same station it was $3.299... that's a 28% increase in 4 days.

The violence is coming from the MAGA right (because they learn it & copy it from their cult leader.

Heroโ€™s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

A screen grab from

 https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/debt-to-the-penny/debt-to-the-penny

showing the national debt, even with the government shut down, but taxes still being deducted from our paychecks and trump's claimed hundreds of billions in tariffs coming in, has grown by $131,111,435,650 in just 19 days. That's an annual deficit (WITH THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN) of $2,518,719,684,855.  They're so bad at handling the budget they are spending nearly $7 billion PER DAY more than they take in from the taxes and tariffs we pay.
WITH THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN!

Oh, and "Intragovernmental Holdings" is government newspeak (tip o' the hat to 1984) for "money congress has stolen from SS and Medicare surpluses over the decades" (on many pay stubs those deductions show up as FICA-SS and FICA-HI, respectively). So that total congressional theft currently stands at about $7.56 TRILLION.

A billion seconds ago, Ronald Reagan (tripled the national debt, btw) was serving his last months as US President.
A billion minutes ago, the person alleged to have been Jesus Christ hadn't yet been dead 100 years.
A billion hours is over 114,000 years ago - pretty-much pre-historic times.
But a billion dollars of over-spending by the US congress is about 3.5 hours.

A trillion is 1000 billion, of course.

A snapshot of how our National Debt has grown just during the shutdown. It's congress's Article 1 Section 7 constitutional duty to raise revenue to pay its bills, which clearly congress has NOT been doing. (R)'s claim to be fiscally responsible until in office, where they spend like drunken sailors.
