Trump allies blame Ukraine for rising U.S. gas prices
What's amazing is that it's Labor Day weekend, and things are only going to get worse for Republicans as gas prices continue to increase and the GOP's general incompetence only gets worse. And then we'll get a month of panicked Republican infighting to close it out. Anyway.
Until the Caravans of October come.
I'm looking forward to the bold GOP resistance that says Trump *might* have been wrong on the Epstein Files, that he *might* have been wrong on the war in Iran, that we *might* not need a ballroom, and that all that fake meat *might* not ...
Dana Bash: "why won't Democrats disavow Ms Rachel?"
Right Wing media--which are most media--lied & got ppl to vote for Trump bc they said he'd lower gas/ grocery prices, deport violent criminals only & end forever wars. Though now the tide turns against GOP for the same reason--bc T promised that. And bc everyone knows he did the opposite.
why, do farmers need diesel fuel in the fall when all the crops need to be harvested or something? I mean it's not like diesel just hit an all-time high and is likely to keep going or anything-- hang on, I am being handed a note here....
Making this my lock screen through Election Day
This Labor Day, Arizonans are facing record high gas prices. It’s no mystery why it costs so much. Trump started a war with Iran with zero plan and no way out. American families are paying for his mistakes at the pump, in the grocery store, and just about everywhere else.
Thank you Mark for standing up to these cowards. I also want to commend you for never once thinking about physically assaulting any of your MAGA-Republican colleagues.
Who could have predicted this.
Absolutely lay this at the feet of the GOP and Trump. Whatever you do, do NOT pull the federal gas tax , that would be very short-sighted. Make them own it all the way to election day.
Want lower gas prices? → End Trump's war in Iran. Want lower grocery prices? → Stop Trump's illegal tariffs. Want lower health care costs? → Reverse Trump’s health care cuts.
Too bad there isn’t an opposition party with a plan to do any of rhis
Want lower gas prices? Want lower grocery prices? Want lower health care costs? VOTE DEMOCRAT ❗❗❗
Bellwethers: CA’s regular gas today $5.8317/gal vs $4.6063/gal yr ago (+26.6%). Diesel is $7.770/gal vs $5.1443/gal yr ago (+51.2%). Gas prices hit both HHs & commerce. Port of LA’s busiest container port in No Am, #16 globally, handling +40% of all 🇺🇸 containerized cargo. gasprices.aaa.com?state=CA
You know as well as we do that prices will never go down.
The answer to all current problems: end the Trump regime.
Want lower gas prices? -> Switch to solar and EVs and stop thinking about gas prices altogether. Want lower health care costs? -> stop treating healthcare as a for-profit commodity and establish universal coverage. Here, fixed it for you. You're right about the tariffs though.
Trump-a-palooza will be about the ballroom, the arch, and the golf course; not gas prices, grocery bills, or the rising cost of healthcare. So why do we need counterprogramming when that is the conversation he wants to have? I say: LET HIM. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks thehill.com/homenews/cam...
The more he talks the worse they look. Let it rip!
Never disturb your enemy when he's in the middle of making a big mistake. Let him. Ignore him and carry on.
Why bother? The NFL season openers are scheduled on the same nights. Nobody will be watching and no network is covering that mess.
Doing counter programming would show that Dems will not take his shit and will invite and protect ppl to join. Dems response to almost everything is silence. That’s why they lose, when they should have won. And they don’t get it.
Oh goody, tanker wars. Won't that be great for gas prices. 🤨

Or the fewer than 100 critically endangered, non-migratory Arabian Sea Humpback whales that live year-round in the confined waters of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. Also, the 7,000 dugongs; the dolphins, sea turtles, and sea snakes.
Tanker Wars... Like shark tank 🤣
Everywhere on the planet will be filled with disease and death.
The lowest price in my area today was $5.19 unleaded, $5.99 premium, $6.99 diesel. Last week it was over a dollar less. But hey, the Trump incompetents say we are winning, prices are down, any increases are just for a blip in time. But according to Trump, we are the hottest, most admiredcountry. 🧵
