Since Trump and his aides keep lying about grocery prices, here are the facts:

Food inflation in Biden's last year: 1.8 pct.
Food inflation since Trump began his trade war: 3.1 pct.

Trump has nearly doubled grocery inflation.

Trump Finally Meets A Problem His Lies Cannot Overcome: Rising Grocery Prices
Trump keeps claiming that prices are ‘way down’ — but with food inflation running nearly twice the rate as it was in Biden’s last year, Americans are not fooled.

Women are expendable in Trump's world.
I don't know when I'll write it up, but among the things Rudy Giuliani got pardoned for is destroying the lives of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

I have never seen such bald corruption in my life and I dont think I ever will again. No one will out perform there.

Slotkin has it dead on. And it isnt because of Trump Derangement Syndrome. What she is stating has proof in history over and over and over. America is not exceptional. This is the end game. The question is when. (Ignore "breaking" label. Story link, video from 10.29)

Lastly there’s Emmanuel Garcia, a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing a month ago.

Houston PD had his mother’s missing persons report, but chose to call ICE.

He’s been in federal custody ever since, and his mother has not been allowed to see him

Or Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in America since he was two years old.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him

His health is declining, they won’t let him get his legs and they’ve placed him in solitary

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

A silly metric but Im just saying: in Biden’s economy I could afford brunch or dinner out maybe once every few weeks.

In Trump's economy, I havent gone out to eat for months at a time and have had zero brunches.

Cost of food too high. Every bill went up. Fun luxuries are off the table.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
