Gas prices will go down, Trump said.
Jan. 20, 2025: ~$3.11/gal
Today: ~$3.48/gal
Almost like reckless policy, global instability, and endless propaganda don’t actually help working people fill their tanks. Go figure.
Anyway, midterms matter. Don’t f it up.
Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.
@osf_rekt apologies - half the country voted for chaos and Trump is delivering. All he has to do is tell his Republican stooges to negotiate with the Dems and reverse several reckless cutbacks made in the Big Beautiful Bill passed earlier this year. Simple.
@AstonScott1@RpsAgainstTrump You can’t vote unless you’re registered to vote. Poll workers ask for your name and address - if you’re on the list you get to vote.
