Spoken like a true billionaire.
Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

I specialize in strategic operations for complex organizations- what the Left needs to do is scale and replicate what @governor.ca.gov has done. He has drawn a blueprint- and quite frankly so has Mamdani- and @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov with their grassroots rallies- so now follow it!
Newsom has gotten well-deserved credit for skewering Trump on social media and defying his efforts to abscond with California’s national guard. But in fighting fire with fire and preserving Democrats’ hopes for a midterm victory, he showed Democrats around the country how to fight—and win.
Gavin Newsom beat Trump at his own game and changed the 2026 landscape.
Despite skeptics and many Democrats tut-tutting about adhering to norms (even when Republicans have burned the rule book), Newsom was determined to counteract Trump’s Texas gambit.

No, no one should have this much. But history shows us that when inequality gets this extreme, a shift happens- it’s not sustainable. Buckle up buttercup- the stars haven’t looked like this since 1776 and well, we all know how that turned out.🍿🍿🍿✨✨✨
I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.
Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.

Maybe he thinks Affordability is a proper noun like Asylum 😉
Trump's answer to those worried about higher prices is to STFU. Literally! Trump denies prices are going up, instead declaring: ‘I Don’t Wanna Hear About the Affordability’ www.mediaite.com/media/tv/i-d...

lol Trump literally ran on fixing everything on day one and has spent the last few weeks telling us he ended 8 wars.
Mike Johnson: "If you run as a socialist, you run on a big list false claims. You promise everything to everyone, and you can't deliver, and if you were able to deliver it would be to the great detriment of the people you lured in to vote for you."

Even Republicans are admitting it—Mike Johnson has his members at home on a 6-week vacation instead of in D.C. working to end this shutdown with Democrats.
Health care premiums are soaring, prices are up and workers aren’t being paid, all while Johnson does NOTHING.
He’s a total joke.

SNAP must be reinstated and this gross display of excess where the Trump admin and ultra wealthy party is gauche to say the least and cruel to be more accurate.
A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.
As SNAP funds froze, mayors and governors have pledged to supplement the missing federal assistance, while federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration should use contingency funds to keep food aid running despite the government shutdown.

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:
Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president
TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.
