Since the week this president was sworn-in I’ve tracked the price of the same seven items at the same grocery (Publix at 13th and 39th, Gainesville) nearly every week. As of yesterday (11/21) that basket of groceries costs 8.81% more than it did on 1/20.

There are still absolute truths of modern western behavior. One of them is that the guys wearing the swastika are the bad guys.

We use the word “customer” too much. It’s lazy and often inaccurate.

There will be a point when it will be hard to find elected officials who want to admit they ever supported the current guy. Take screen shots of headlines to prove it, and don’t let them forget.

Don’t forget that this guy whose name appears in all those emails BULLDOZED THE EAST WING OF THE WHITE HOUSE. Illegally. Because he wanted to. (And exposed everyone working at and around the building to asbestos dust in the process.)

Don’t expect anything about Epstein to be the very end of Trump/MAGA. It will peel off a significant portion of devotees, but the organizing ethic of “Owning the Libs” isn’t going anywhere.
Doesn’t mean they aren’t headed for a permanent political minority status, however.

Most local media has made no effort to localize the shutdown story. It’s been covered as yet another distant DC thing, when in fact it hurts people in every community.
This is why folks treat elections the way they do - no one is showing people how it directly affects them.

The president is spending the weekend golfing at his private estate (on your dime) while his lawyers (also on your dime) sue states to keep them from distributing your tax money so your neighbors can buy food.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and Happy Sunday!

If you find yourself angry that the new mayor of a city you don’t live in wants free bus rides for everybody in his city but you don’t care that the president CAN release money for people having a hard time to buy groceries, but WON’T… this might be a good time to quietly reconsider your positions.

This is an appeal to vote, hard and without fail, for candidates who have demonstrated that helping our neighbors be fed, housed and medically cared for is something they will use your tax dollars to do.
Elected officials at every level are showing you who they are right now.
Don’t forget it.

The Democratic Tent is BIG. There’s room for all sorts of voters, and all sorts of elected officials, as long as they’re committed to a better deal for EVERYONE who chooses to call this nation home.
Also in this Big Tent you will find ten Democratic women governors, BTW.

If you or someone you care about are one of the 42 million Americans who buy groceries with SNAP benefits, you should know that on the night before those benefits ended, your president held a lavish, expensive private party at his estate in Palm Beach.
That is how much he cares about you.

I hear Speaker Johnson refuses to bring the House back in session because he believes he will lose his speakership to a handful of Rs siding with the Ds.

I’ve been tracking the same seven items at the same grocery store since the week this president was inaugurated. As of today that basket of groceries is 9.5% more expensive than it was on January 22.

If we don’t get the 2026 elections right, the question of how many terms a president can serve will be moot.
