Trump keeps insisting grocery prices are “down.” Reality check: they’re still climbing. CPI shows food costs up 2.7% from last September, 1.4% since January, and 0.3% in just one month. Families feel it every week — tough choices in every aisle.

NOTABLE: Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch say they view California's new map as "indisputably" driven by the pursuit of partisan advantage, as opposed to impermissible race-based goals. Could bode well for Newsom in legal challenges to the CA map. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Newsom understands how to humiliate someone who absolutely hates being humiliated. And Dems need a whole lot more of this. Trump cannot stand when people highlight exactly who he is in a way he can’t spin or outrun. If you’re planning on running for president, this is the skill set you better master

NEW: Tina Peters' attorney warns judges "If you're a traitor to this country, you don't get excused because you have a black robe."

Attorney Peter Ticktin and MAGA podcaster Joe Oltmann spoke today of their shared vision of military tribunals and executions.

Military leaders sat in an office for 42 minutes watching two men on the verge of drowning mid-ocean, clinging to wreckage, with no aid or ability to call for help. They sat there deciding whether to execute them, and then they did it.

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."

Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

“This should be the end of this case. If they continue, undeterred by a court ruling and a grand jury’s rejection of the charges, it will be a shocking assault on the rule of law and a devastating blow to the integrity of our justice system." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
Grand jury declines to indict N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James, less than two weeks after the first case was dismissed
Federal officials failed to secure the new indictment against James, whom Trump has targeted, after a judge said the previous one was secured by an unlawfully appointed prosecutor.

While Trump is building himself a ballroom, he’s tearing down our dreams of affordable housing.
❌ Reckless tariffs that jack up building costs
❌ Gutting HUD
❌ Rolling back civil rights protections
❌ Turning ICE loose on homebuilders
Families pay the price. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

When Trump says he’s “fixing housing,” this is what families can actually afford — a pallet shed on wheels. Prices keep climbing while he blames everyone but the profiteers he protects. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

Tyson’s Nebraska plant shuts down and 3,200 jobs are lost, hurting small-town families and shrinking local economies. With less supply, beef prices rise nationwide. Get ready for pricier groceries and fast food—another hit to Americans’ wallets.

Breakfast costs HOW much???

Grocery bills tell the truth Trump won’t: he promised lower prices, but costs keep climbing.

Biden knew—EVERYONE knows—broad-based tariffs and economic uncertainty are pocketbook poison, but Trump does what he wants, and families pay the price.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.”
