Energy bills have increased 13% since Trump took office.
Families have paid an extra $1,200 on goods this year because of his tariffs.
Popular holiday gifts are 26% more expensive this year compared to 2024.
Remember this as Trump calls affordability a "hoax" and a "con job."

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

You can measure the quality of news outlets' political coverage by how often they write headlines starting with the words "Trump says" that don't show any skepticism about what Trump is saying even though he's the most prominent American liar of modern times.
