"Trump’s actual purpose was plainly not to increase US diesel supplies, or otherwise lower consumer prices, but rather to make clear his intention to definitively change sides and become Russia’s wartime ally — and to undermine the international sanctions regime against Russia that the US worked so hard to implement over nearly five years." https://t.co/tFmtS7ZTFp

Facing pushback from voters over high gasoline prices, Vice President JD Vance sought to shift the blame to former President Joe Biden in a CBS News town hall. But experts say the far bigger factor is the Iran war, which the Trump administration started. https://t.co/NOaLqjzi8T

🥴 JD struggles through surprisingly contentious CBS town hall 🥴

Vance faced a number of tough questions from audience members and from Tony Dokoupil during exchanges like this:

JD VANCE: The biggest reason why gas prices are so high is because when Joe Biden ...

DOKOUPIL: It's almost been two years. At a certain point it becomes your economy, not Biden's economy

Here's a supercut of Vance having a hard time explaining the sluggish economy, Trump's corruption, why the US hasn't already won the Iran war, and more:

We have 19 days to mobilize every corner of this state. 19 days to talk about how we’ll lower costs, keep our communities safe, and stand up to Trump.

I know @AdrienneEAdams and I won’t take our feet off the gas. We’re going to make sure New Yorkers know we’re fighting for them.

here's Bruce Blakeman tonight claiming "I never said that I would cut Medicaid in half" -- immediately followed by a clip of him saying on Fox Business in June that "we make sure we cut Medicaid in half"

[Erie County Dems @ecdems]

Low bar.

Trump encourages his crowd as a man punches a woman who is protesting in the face

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Last night, I spoke with the mother of the five-year-old boy who was in the backseat when ICE agents opened fire on his father’s car.

Thank God she isn’t planning a funeral for her little boy today.

But she told me he’s normally so outgoing and talkative. Now he won’t speak. She was also terrified ICE would come after her family again.

I let her know that I’d spoken to President Trump and he confirmed that ICE would not be returning for her family.

As a mom, all I wanted to do was give her a hug and tell her this never should have happened to her family.

Donald Trump, stumping for Bruce Blakeman, wondering where Syracuse is:

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

New Yorkers are outraged tonight. Immigrant communities are terrified. And we are demanding answers.

There is still much we don’t know about what happened in Marble Hill. But initial reports indicate ICE agents fired into a vehicle with a five-year-old child inside. Any trained law enforcement officer knows how easily that could have ended in tragedy. By the grace of God, that child appears to have escaped without physical injury.

No child should ever have to experience the terror of gunfire, let alone wonder if they’ll make it home alive. As a mother and grandmother, I cannot imagine how frightening those moments must have been.

New Yorkers have witnessed far too many acts of violence by a rogue federal agency and untrained agents that operate with impunity.

Federal authorities need to provide answers, and they must do so immediately.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said that for President Donald Trump, “There's no financial gain like the past presidents have had. It's cost him to be in office." Trump’s financial disclosure form and analysis debunk that.

We have great Democrats running across Erie County, join us tonight in Clarence!

[Erie County Dems @ecdems]

Kind of the point.

Trump: If Democrats win the midterms, everything we've done, we'll never be able to do it again

[PolitiFact @PolitiFact]

President Donald Trump said multiple times in March that the war in Iran would last four to six weeks. He did not distinguish between a timeline to get rid of the nuclear threat and the overall war. His rewrite is False.
