All 3 of the Dems big winners this week ran on the “unaffordability crisis.” This was and will continue to be a winning message.
It’s the same winning issue that Republicans ran on when they called it “Biden’s inflation.”
But what is unaffordability or inflation? They are both just different ways of saying the debasement of our currency. That’s what is killing the middle class and the poor (and tremendously helping the rich).
The solution to this problem isn’t socialism (obviously) it’s sound money and free markets. We are debasing our currency because we have a gigantic government that we can’t afford.
If the Republicans were really an America First party, they could say this AND they could win the argument.
Unfortunately, the Republicans are just the War Party and, since we can’t actually afford any of those wars, they need to print the money to fight them.
Essentially, the Republicans choose war over preserving liberty in the United States of America.
Throughout history, every time the US topples a foreign country’s dictator/government, the outcome has been disastrous. Civil war/military intervention in Venezuela will wreak death & destruction to Venezuelan people, and increase tensions that threaten our national security.
George Kittle attempted to “air a grievance” Tuesday that the NFL informed teams that it now has prohibited the use of ammonia and smelling salts before and during all NFL games.

Donald Trump has now launched an illegal war of aggression against Iran. The risk of an absolute catastrophe is very high and the benefits are non existent. Worst of all, he did it on behalf of a foreign government against a country who posed no threat to us.

Your daily reminder that no one has produced any evidence that Iran was actually making a bomb.
The US intel community concluded at the beginning of 2025 that they had not restarted their weapons program.
This entire war is predicated on an Israeli trust me bro.
Just like Iraq
I was 8 years old when the US invaded Iraq for the first time. I have vague memories of the celebration afterwards. War hawks were bragging about the overwhelming success and how easy the whole thing was. We went on to fighting in Iraq for most of the next 30 years taking thousands of casualties and costing us trillions of dollars.
I remember vividly the “mission accomplished” celebration two months into the 20 year catastrophe that was George W Bush’s invasion of Iraq. What followed was a wide consensus that it was one of, if not, the worst foreign policy blunders in modern American history.
I remember Hillary Clinton boasting that “we came, we saw, he’s dead” immediately after overthrowing Muammar Gaddafi. A few years later when she was running for President, she wouldn’t dare bring it up because it was such an obvious, colossal failure.
They told us that the Afghan army would hold the nation together. They told us that sanctions alone would defeat the Russians.
They always lie but especially at the beginning of a war.
I’ve seen a lot of people celebrating the Israel/Iran war for the last 48 hours. Talking about how it’s going exactly according to plan, and how easy it will be to overthrow the Iranian regime and improve life for Iranians as well as stability in the region. Maybe they are finally right this time, and for the first time. But, they are definitely celebrating way, way too prematurely, and I see no indication that it won’t be a catastrophe just like the rest.
@PronkDaniel Not 100% sure but something to look at is their PBM. Trumps latest EO affects PBM‘s. Brigham Buhler was on Tucker Carlsons podcast recently to explain PBMs & how health insurance companies are making big $ on them. I believe something like 30% of UNH’s revenue is from their PBM
