@profstonge Spending taxpayer money on frivolous political prosecutions is the best way to address affordability.

In May, former Obama communications director Dan Pfeiffer said Democrats should “use corruption as an explainer for why everything in your life sucks.” He pointed to Jon Ossoff as the model and put tax breaks and government payouts alongside high gas prices, rural hospital closures, and unaffordable health insurance. His reasoning was explicit. Voters already thought politicians were corrupt, so Democrats needed to make them believe "corruption" is the reason they pay more.

On Election Day, MediasTouch replayed Pete Buttigieg blaming Trump’s Iran war, tariffs, and tax cuts for higher household costs, then aired Obama urging viewers to vote. Buttigieg’s clip made a policy argument. Its role in the segment was to connect the bills viewers were paying to the people on the ballot.

MS NOW turned the campaign argument into a headline about what voters believed. Brian Poindexter’s campaign site said, “Washington is corrupt, and it’s driving up prices.” After he won, MS NOW asked him how investigating Trump family corruption would improve prices. Poindexter said voters had “connected the dots,” and MS NOW titled the clip “Voters know ‘corruption is WHY prices are high.’

Easy Chili Recipe:

Ingredients:

-2 lb ground beef
-2 cans kidney beans, drained
-2 14oz cans fire roasted diced tomatoes (can also use tomato sauce if you don’t like chunky tomatoes)
-2 cups bone broth
-2 packets chili seasoning (I love Kinder’s brand)
-3 jalapenos, diced and seeded (keep seeds if you like it spicy)
-1 poblano pepper, diced and seeded
-1 yellow onion, diced
-5 cloves garlic, finely minced
-Dash of avocado oil or tallow

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat then start cooking your meat. Add a pinch of salt.

Once the meat is just about done, add your diced onion and peppers with another pinch of salt. Saute until they start to soften, about 5-6 minutes. Stir frequently.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Next, add your drained beans, tomatoes, bone broth and chili seasoning, and stir well.

Bring up to a simmer, and simmer away for about 2 hours, or until it is the consistency of your liking. Taste for salt before serving.

Quick notes:

-The more broth you add, the longer it will take to thicken up. I do 2 cups of broth for about 2 hours of simmering, but if you don’t have as much time to cook it you can just cut the broth in half!

-If you struggle with gut issues or are sensitive to beans, you can totally make this recipe without them!

As always, feel free to leave any questions in the comments!
