#BREAKING: Psaki: “[Tv ad: ‘Leading the charge to lower gas prices right here at Freedom Fuel Networks gas stations.’]…this week the White House itself posted that video trying to give Trump credit for lowering the price of gas at this one gas station chain, bragging about how gas there was only three dollars and forty-seven cents. But there are a couple problems here. Of course number one, when Trump took office the national average for a gallon of gas was three dollars and twelve cents, so even this discounted gas is still much more expensive than gas was when Trump took office. Number two, this gas station chain has just 25 locations in two states, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Anyone who doesn’t happen to be near one of those stations is just out of luck, I guess. And number three, these 25 gas stations that are selling gas at 50 cents less than market rate, beg a really big question…Who is paying for this?…the head of petroleum at the gas price monitoring site GasBuddy told MSNOW that he can’t foresee how they are profitable at such a low price, adding, ‘somebody’s paying for that.’ A White House spokesperson says the stations are run by a private company and are not receiving any special rates on gasoline or government funding, which is an incredible admission considering that Trump is trying to take all the credit. And the only person who might know who is funding this apparent PR stunt for the president might just be President Trump himself, who last week, by the way, posted online that ‘a very smart retailer was going to be lowering prices at 25 gas stations throughout the Northeast.’”🙄
New footage from the destroyed city of Bakhmut—once a significant Ukrainian city in the Donetsk region. Putin’s "liberators" captured it three years ago, in the summer of 2023. Since then, the city has lain in ruins...
This war, unleashed by a regime of a Stalinist, Soviet-style mold, will go down in history as one of the most insane and senseless wars ever started on Earth.

The most conservative study (Heritage Foundation) found that only 99 illegal immigrants are SUSPECTED of voting in the last 26 years.
That's it. We don't need the SAVE act.
Governor Gavin Newsom just dropped the truth about the ultimate corruption story. Imagine cutting Medicaid for 100,000 people to pay for a private plane while simultaneously subpoenaing journalists to cover up the grift. This is the greatest grift in American history, period.
🇺🇸Marco Rubio in MARCH: "Goal of the war is to change the regime."
🇺🇸Marco Rubio in APRIL: "Goal of the war is to stop 🇮🇷 Iran from making nukes."
🇺🇸Marco Rubio in JULY: "Goal of the war is to return everything 'back to the way it was,' including the Strait of Hormuz." 🤣
Americans have elected a bunch of clowns
Two career intelligence officers got fired for refusing to say Venezuela was directing a gang it wasn't directing, because the administration needed that claim to justify deportations. A three star general got fired for his agency's accurate assessment of Iran strike damage. CIA's own analysts are now telling their internal survey they're afraid this is the pattern.
BREAKING: Stunning new reporting just revealed that defense contracting firms connected to Donald Trump's sons, Eric and Don Jr., have netted $3.2 billion in Pentagon contracts. This is brazen corruption. The American people deserve answers.
The DOJ is now 206 days past the legal deadline for the Epstein files.
Not a request.

Every day of delay denies survivors answers and shields the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world from scrutiny.
Speaker Mike Johnson said that Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid need to be “adjusted and fixed,” meaning they will be cutting your benefits in 2027. This is Project 2025. So, we have money for war, ballrooms, reflecting pool, arches, billionaire tax cuts, but not for seniors.
THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.
What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."
Midterms aren't primarily about the 2 individuals facing off in a given race. It’s about whether Trump’s power is checked or unchecked over the next 2 years. An unchecked Trump would be a cataclysm from which US imperiled democracy might not recover https://t.co/jBrNWZxJwY
21 incremental packages instead of a few steps. Close the skies over Ukraine; seize all Russian assets abroad and use them for Ukrainian aid, weapons, & defense; shut down the Russian shadow fleet, sanction into oblivion those who do business with Russia, first or secondhand.

Today, the Russians once again "vanquished" purely civilian sites – ordinary passenger buses in Odesa, ordinary apartment buildings in Zaporizhzhia, and an ordinary hospital in the Kharkiv region. Every single day of this war that Russia is waging against life only proves that supporting Ukraine is the right thing to do from every perspective – defense, political, and simply human.
And everyone around the world sees it. They see that Ukraine needs more air defense, more protection for people's lives, and that the Russian authorities have gone insane over this war and are completely irrational in refusing to end it.
But pressure on Russia must work. New sanctions against the aggressor, new support packages for Ukraine, new projects – like our European anti-ballistic initiative, FREYJA – all of this must work. Thank you to everyone who is helping. In the near future, there will be meetings and negotiations that must strengthen our defenses.
“Lindsey’s choice was his alone. I refuse to look away. The stakes are too high to pretend a funny man didn’t choose to become a rotten man by following an evil and un-American fascist off a moral cliff, while lighting the Constitution on fire.”

The renewal of fighting in Iran demonstrates the problem with Trump’s lack of strategy, the vagueness of the deal to make a deal, and the belligerence of an Iranian regime that feels it has the upper hand.
This week, I’ll introduce a new War Powers Resolution to force the Senate to vote on Trump’s war and the price spikes it is causing.
