Americans are already struggling to pay more from Trump’s tariffs on food and goods. Now his war with Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz — the route for ~20% of the world’s oil — sending fuel and shipping costs soaring. Expect higher gas, groceries, flights, and more.

Oil at over $100/barrel. Gas up 16% in a week. Iran threatening $200/barrel oil. And Trump’s plan? “It’ll drop when it’s over.” And he has no idea when the war will be over. In the meantime, families have been struggling with grocery and health care prices.

Six years ago today, they shut down the stock market 'cause Covid.

Saudis & Russia were feuding over oil prices

Trump was playing golf, attending fundraisers and tweeting out lies

Some things never change.

MAGA, is this what you voted for?
Are you winning, yet?

It sure feels like losing. Since Jan 2025, we are losing: rights and freedom, justice, checks and balances, healthcare, safety, money, jobs, soldiers, clean air & water, & respect around the world.

If you’re in California — this is worth 2 min of your time.

Great explainer of the 2026 California Jungle Primary

The last day to register to vote for the June 2nd Primary Election is May 18, 2026.

We can not, I repeat, CAN NOT let a Republican become governor of our state.

S&P 500 down.
Dow tanking.
NASDAQ bleeding.
Gas up 60¢ in ONE week.
92,000 jobs gone.
This isn’t bad luck — this is the direct result of reckless, chaotic leadership. Your wallet is paying the price.

92,000 Americans lost their jobs in ONE month while this administration plays golf and picks trade wars. Unemployment hits 4.4% and nobody’s being held accountable.

ENOUGH.

This is how it’s done: coming together and thanking and supporting your opponent. At the end of the day, we must elect a Democrat in Texas to stop billionaires, Trump, and Republicans from stealing from hardworking Americans—and take back Texas and our country!

Connection is how we change our body politic and bend the arc of history back towards justice.

I hope political campaigns are moving in this direction as well.

Important Update: Pentagon Admits Iran was Not Planning to Strike United States as Narrative Justifying War Begins to Fall Apart Good morning everyone.

Of course what Trump/MAGA tells us was a lie or made up. There is a reason this action was taken - we just don’t it yet know - we can speculate as more people are killed and injured. #iran #trumplies #epstein

From ‘America First’ to ‘Always America Last’ Trump promised to stop wars. His grip on his base is being questioned now that he’s started one.

He lied. Again. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The SAVE Act blocks voting by demanding passports or birth certificates that over 21 million Americans do not have ready access to. Women, seniors, students, and low income voters pay the price.
Call your MOCs!

MAGA Rs are afraid of women at the ballot box. To sidestep the 19th Amendment, they’re backing the SAVE America Act to restrict registration, require documents many women lack, & purge voters from the rolls. They fear our strength & turnout. We won’t be silenced. Call 202-224-3121. #HandsOffHerVote

The House is voting *this week* on a new, worse, Trumped up version of the SAVE Act called the SAVE America Act. 🙄

Republicans are terrified of the midterms and are desperate to block as many people from voting as they can.
Call your reps 202-224-3121. 🔥📞🔥
