@timruss2 Is this true?

@harryjsisson We can only hope. Make sure you vote for Dems, perfect or not.

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%.

Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter.

@tedlieu You gotta frame it. That one is a keeper!

Are you fucking kidding me?

[Blue Tsunami Mid-Terms @exinkygal]

@GuntherEagleman @krassenstein No he didn’t. It was their money the US froze or stole, your choice.

Inflation crossed 4% for the first time in three years in May, exacerbating Americans’ pain at the pump and dealing a fresh political blow to the White House, as the Iran war’s toll on consumers shows no sign of abating.

The Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index rose at a 4.2% annual pace in the year ending in May, up from 3.8% in April with higher energy prices again accounting for much of the monthly gain.

Gas prices, which have surged roughly 50% since January as the Iran conflict disrupts oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, rose 7% in May. The reading marks the third consecutive month in which the conflict has measurably pushed prices higher for American consumers.

Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught.

A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses.

1. I have the right to do it.
2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump.
3. People don’t care.

That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now.

Please stand up and prove him wrong.

BREAKING: @tedlieu just said what we were all thinking:

"President Trump has repeatedly fallen asleep at multiple Cabinet meetings, at multiple White House events, and most recently at a raucous basketball game last night. The White House needs to explain why Trump keeps going to the hospital and why they keep giving him cognitive tests..

.@SenSusanCollin only votes "against" Trump when it isn't going to make a difference. She's no McCain.

[Blue Tsunami Mid-Terms @exinkygal]

Trump ruins everything he touches.

Fraud myths in general for the California primary elections seem to be based on the fact that election officials employ a meticulous vote-counting process that takes longer than other less-populous states. https://t.co/M4WMo39vaz

Here’s what really happened.
