The whole Trump administration has been about hate, cruelty, retribution, greed, misinformation, fear-mongering and just attempting to give citizens a sense of hopelessness in America while he and his minions line their pockets and pillage the treasury. However, all citizens should combat this with a prayer of Gratitude for our Democracy (no matter what your beliefs are or are not) and pledge that you will do one small act of kindness every day to your fellow citizens no matter what color, ethnicity or religion they are. Look at them as other humans on their journeys through this life......we are all flawed humans but we fall down and then have to get up. We the People CAN make this world a better place.

Do you know why gasoline in the US is now $5/gallon and diesel $6/gallon?

It's because that most darling of all Republican constituencies--Big Oil--is shipping gas & diesel OUT of the US *because they can make more money.*

That's right, they're now shipping refined oil products abroad, because prices in places like SE Asia are insanely high, resulting in big profits. But that then causes shortages in the US, to which they raise prices to American consumers.

A repeat of the infamous Cambridge Analytica action of 2016, possibly expanded to not only target people with vulnerable OCEAN score patterns but also vulnerable to scams.

Yup. Eerily similar.

Why say Trump "pushed a false narrative" (or three) when you could simply say he lied? Because that's what he does, over and over and over. Let's call it out in plain terms.

“I am asking you to pretend I’m on the ballot."

No thanks. I'd rather imagine the bliss of never having to hear your name, let alone your blathering, lying voice, ever again.

Kudos to Mr. Grigorov for that last photo. The facial expressions on every person tell quite the story.

This the only time I’ve seen Jared Kushner’s face express anything other than smug. Better yet, he looks scared. I love that for him.

I'm not sure where to put a possible investigation idea, so I will stick it in these comments. I recently received a newsletter from Senator Todd Young's office, and this item caught my attention:

"This week, the Department of War announced the installation of an advanced nuclear Micro Modular Reactor at Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Crane in southern Indiana by September 2028.

This announcement by the Department of War is exciting news for our state. Critical next-generation energy solutions for our warfighters will be located in Indiana, at Crane. This first-of-its-kind mission will bring the highest levels of nuclear expertise to our state and is another example of the important role Hoosiers are playing in our national security.

The project is being executed jointly by the Army’s Janus Program; the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations and Environment; the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)); and the State of Indiana.

Here is the link: https://www.war.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/4593065/department-of-war-announces-navys-first-advanced-nuclear-microreactor-deploymen/

The other link is paywalled, so I couldn't read it:

https://www.insideindianabusiness.com/articles/trump-administration-to-establish-nuclear-microreactor-at-nws-crane

After reading the first one, I could not understand exactly what they are building it for. Perhaps AI? And there was talk of private partnership, but no name given of what corporation (or oligarch?) is behind it.

I do not have enough information to know what this project is about, but that they write about it with so many obfuscations suggests that whoever wrote the Dept. of Defense statement is either a poor writer or wished to hide exactly what is being done here.
