It’s been very quiet but no where near lowest in 20 years. How soon we forget $1.44 gas during Covid…

Trump said this on Truth Social last night: β€œTRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to Pollsters.”

Well, guess what? Trump will NEVER be on the ballot again. So that means Republicans are SCREWED.

Why the No Kings Protest Moved Me The protesters’ depth of feeling was matched only by the modesty and decency of the event.

The β€œNo Kings” rallies were β€œdignified, irreverent, driven by old-fashioned love of country,” George Packer argues. β€œIf anything can rouse the stupefied mainstream in time to stop the collapse of everything good about America, it’s a spectacle like this.”

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025.

Americans can't afford groceries or health care.

But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump.

The below post is from CBS Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei yesterday. It comes one day after Chicago journalist Steve Held was detained while covering a protest outside the Broadview immigration facility.

Absolutely inexcusable attack perpetrated by an ICE thug. He should be fired immediately! 😑

Unfuckingbelievable! Trump can threaten liberal Americans, call us vermin, scum, any number of vile things.

But Jimmy Kimmel says Tyler Robinson may be MAGA, we don’t know, and his show is taken off air.
