That's pretty cheap compared to where I am, but still not down to $2/gal which still appears to be close to the wholesale price that no consumer would see.

Looked this up and of course the average price $3.08/gal according to AAA.

Are there places you can get $2 gas? Probably in Texas, where the average price is $2.66.

But the commodity price seems to be around $2/gal so maybe someone quoted that number to him? Who knows.

I'm no lawyer (at all!) but while I was listening in today, it sounded to my untrained ear like Sauer kept veering into pro-Trump talking points and not sticking to what seemed like the important parts of the case at hand.
Didn't seem like he had a good argument so appealing to: "Let Trump do it!"

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

So many own goals.
Once again: higher ed is one of our most successful exports. We export more higher ed to China than soybeans. And yet Trump and the mini-Trumps are deliberately destroying the quality of our product

He clearly has a good ear (probably partly because he does speak more than one language).

But more than anything, being able to be coached to that performance (accent and delivery, etc) shows an amazing willingness to take correction and feedback. Can think of few things better for a politician.
