Breaking: On what has already been a DISASTROUS day for the global energy markets, Iran has now added to the mess by striking TWO tankers attempting to cross along the Omani Route, causing one to catch fire.
Just to make sure I have everything straight over the last 24 hours, we have:
- Brent reaching $109/barrel (+7.7% today)
- Diesel reaching $6/gallon for the first time in US HISTORY
- Houthis sprinting towards control over the Bab Al-Mandeb
- Houthis potentially striking the Saudi East-West Pipeline
- WTI reaching above $100/barrel
… GEEZ GUYS AM I MISSING ANYTHING?!
Remember when you got your $2,000 DOGE check? Nobody does, because they never existed. Now Senile Satan is promising $5,000 each if the GOP wins. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well, you can’t get fooled again.
An appeals court upheld a block on Trump’s EO limiting mail voting, as the Supreme Court considers the same case and states have already begun sending ballots for the midterm elections. GOP officials in 7 states say it’s too late to implement the order.

@atrupar Remember when Georgia passed a law prohibiting anyone from giving food or beverages, including h2o, to people standing in line to vote? But apparently it’s okay to pay them off.
Trump just now, on a deceased 9/11 rescuer:
"The Man in the Red Bandana. Have you heard of him? He's become more famous than me. I don't like it. Very unhappy. But he's become much more famous than me."
Expect zero condemnation from the GOP on this.
"It's entirely inappropriate and borders on sacrilege"
VOTE VETS & the DC-based CULTURAL LANDSCAPE FOUNDATION education & advocacy group have released a new video urging a halt to Trump's planned Monumental Arch near Arlington Natl Cemetery
Don't be fooled by this announcement from JD Vance. There is no increase in assistance and they aren't looking to ease the burden on working families.
They're robbing a fund designed to help working-class single-parents to give even more money to wealthy married couples and those who fit Vance's personal ideal vision of a family.
As any parent will tell you, raising a child is hard work. That work SHOULD be compensated, but not by robbing a fund designed to help working moms. This is dressing up more tax breaks for the rich as "aid to families" and it's coming at the expense of working-class parents.
This Labor Day, if you've ever benefited from:
— The weekend
— 40-hour work weeks
— Workplace safety standards
— A minimum wage
— Paid time off
thank a union.
Unions don’t just improve working conditions for their members, they help every American worker.
Happy Labor Day!
