Good morning.

The Independent: The cost of a gallon of gas averaged at least $4 every day in August, for the first time ever. No relief in sight either, as Trump’s Iran war drags on and the price of oil and other goods continues to rise. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
Trump says “we don’t need” Canada as a trade partner — Tennessee’s largest export customer. Here’s a thought: Is anyone going to ask @MarshaBlackburn & other Tennessee Republicans if they support Trump’s pointless trade war? Or nah? newsroom.theredemptionproject.news/p/canada-is-...
An anonymous federal official says the Postal Service is racing to build an inadequately tested ballot-verification system that could reject entire mailings over a single error—potentially preventing thousands of eligible voters at a time from receiving their ballots. #TheCityBrief
How do we not ask every official about McConnell in every interview? How is this not a media obsession?
“Over-educated and under-earners” is the exact description of every teacher, social worker, nurse, public defender and the people who work at every essential non-profit organization and government agency across America. They are the people who value their fellow humans more than they value money.
Fuck Bessent, Fuck Kudlow. Chuckling in their usual smug supercilious way about lazy dems and socialism. Who the hell do they think is filling the federal piggybank every year with federal income tax dollars?
The House welfare queens just got back from another (five week) break. The country has never seen elected officials work less than this Congress except for distraction hearings. Tell him to be specific about their "hard work" and how it benefits Americans.
Bessent on Democratic voters: "These are underachievers who are jealous of those who want to go and work every day"
Angie Nixon won a massive victory in Florida. Now Laura Loomer, a close ally of the President, is attacking her with vile racism. Angie is leading with the moral conviction of the Black freedom movement. When she faces these bigoted attacks, denouncing it is our duty.
KUDLOW: Sometimes the president embellishes just a wee bit BESSENT: Your words, Larry, not mine
Hegseth’s pathetic effort to ban Pentagon reporters from the building has certainly not slowed them down from exposing the civilian leadership disaster at DOD. Hegseth’s persistent hunts for leakers who want the American people to know the truth has also failed to silence them.
This morning I began my annual Walk Across Connecticut. Started up on the Massachusetts border in Colebrook. Will make my way - slowly! - down to the shoreline. My favorite week of the year!
I just received notification of another death in ICE custody. This marks the 56th death under Trump’s second term. We cannot ignore what is happening. Our private, for-profit detention system must be overhauled and ICE must be dismantled.
As Republicans cling desperately to what we will generously call "control" of the House Floor, with rumors swirling about an early recess and threats by their rank and file to tank today's rule vote, House Dems are set to get two new members today/tomorrow after recent special elections in CA and GA
Thomas Massie stood on the House floor Monday night and read 14 names into the record — people he says should be investigated & prosecuted as Epstein co-conspirators. DOJ is sitting on more unreleased Epstein records. Massie’s response: say the names out loud and dare them to explain why. #SheShed
Trump just said the quiet part out loud: he doesn't care about your finances. "Not even a little bit." Here's where your money is going instead.
Okay, well, virtually no one is with you, so I guess almost everyone is against you. Now what?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3h agoScott Bessent on Iran: "We are telling people, either you are with us, or against us"
Kudlow, the IRGC recruitment center thanks you and will quote you widely. You dumbass.
Larry Kudlow during his interview with Scott Bessent refers to Trump's war on Iran as a "crusade"
"Hayes says he was tricked by the Senate Leadership Fund, a well-heeled Republican PAC. Hayes says he agreed to talk about his son’s murder because he thought he would be featured in an ad against gun violence. But the ad is actually aimed at smearing the political record of former Gov. Roy Cooper"
NC father at center of US Senate ad says he was ‘swindled’ by GOP political operatives • NC Newsline
Ronald Hayes was cautious when he talked to a reporter this week about the political TV advertisement he appears in, talking about the death of his son Shemar, a college football player who was murder...

Why is the Secretary of the Treasury a spokesperson for war? That makes no sense in a normal world.
From a Canadian. They ignore written responses. Here's a musical version from Canada. youtu.be/1DHrRISJS9o?...
