New Data: Prices Soaring Under Trump
Eggs up 15.2%, coffee at record highs, inflation at a 7-month peak—driven by Trump’s tariffs, deregulation, and climate denial. Avian flu & droughts worsen it. Blaming Biden won’t fix supply chains or stop inflation. Trump’s policies keep costs high.

Play the football at halftime and just run 4 quarters of Kendrick Lamar.
Super Bowl
#KendrickLamar
Btw I can’t be the only one who only tuned in for Kendrick. Didn’t watch a single down or commercial. I refuse to give Fox my attention.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Trump first term tariffs were such a success. Here's a few of his VICTORIES!
Trump 2019 tariffs crush U.S. pig farmers (after China imposes a 62% retaliatory levy). Farmers lose billions and market share. politico.com/story/2019/0...
