President Trump needs to write an email about five things he's done in the last week to lower prices. Hosting an infomercial for Tesla does not count.

BREAKING: Senator Mitch McConnell announces that he will not seek reelection in 2026 â bringing an end to one of the single most destructive political careers in American history. He will be remembered for his cruelty and greed and for helping pave the wave for MAGA fascism. Good. Riddance.

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

When Trump took office, the NLRB had 24 separate investigations into Muskâs corporations for violating workersâ rights. But presto...Trump fired three officials at that agency, effectively stalling the board's ability to rule on cases. See how this works?

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia. Looks like Jeff Bezos' investment in Trump is paying off.

Remember when Trump called for "termination" of the Constitution in 2022? The New York Times played it on Page 13. Now that Trump's "termination" is happening, I wonder if the Times' editors have any regrets for years of normalization and "both sides" framing that comforted the would-be dictator.

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced. Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked. So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?
