Diesel: $3.71 a year ago, $6.20 now. The relief: a 24-cent tax deferral through December, road use only. The Ministry makes that a tenth of the increase. The other nine tenths await a second executive order. Apparently.
President Trump is fighting to make diesel prices more affordable. His EO on expanding red-dyed diesel and providing federal tax relief will save hundreds of millions for farmers, putting more money back in Americans pockets. 🇺🇸

June 2025: Los Angeles would have been 'completely obliterated' without the Guard. October 2026: 'Let them take out Los Angeles.' The Ministry would like to know what changed. Apparently.
Trump on Iran: Let 'em take out Los Angeles and San Diego, it's a small price to pay

Reform promises legislation to stop the grid connecting solar farms, and tells overseas investors "caveat emptor". The Ministry recalls the last government to spook the markets. It lasted 49 days. Apparently.
Reform council sues to stop another solar farm Scourge on countryside & danger to food security We will do all we can to stop this stupidity digitaleditions.telegraph.co…

The Ministry commends a late conversion. In 2018 the Attorney General sued to scrap the ACA, pre-existing condition protections and all. Now, 28 days from Election Day, he champions patients. Apparently.
NEW: I am investigating UnitedHealth Group for denying patients the coverage they need and for engaging in deceptive practices.

TACO in soybean form. China pledged at least 25 million tonnes of US soybeans a year through 2028, but new-crop bookings were around 200,000 tonnes by late June, under 1% of the commitment. The great deal, delivered at less than one per cent. Apparently.
What would you say to them?

Isn’t Kash Patel on the way to Russia? Apparently.
Everyone: In light of the pneumonic plague virus spill in a place in Russia recently, last month, we should not permit travel to and from Russia. This is not a virus you want to mess with AND the USA has NO APPETITE for another lockdown like it had during COVID. None. Zippo. Repeat: No appetite for lockdown. That’s bad news if the plague does break out in USA. SOOOOOO to get to the point, EVERYONE in USA and CANADA, EUROPE AND EVERYWHERE should call or message their governmental representatives to impress upon them that TRAVEL TO AND FROM RUSSIA AT THIS TIME WOULD BE A TERRIBLE HEALTH DISASTER FOR US AND THE WORLD!!! Call or email yours.

"Cheap imitations always let you down." Says the former Conservative Home Secretary, 30 years a Tory, now campaigning for the party the Tories supposedly copied. Reform is Conservative alumni with a new logo. Apparently.
It does make me smile when I see Kemi and the Tories copy Reform’s policies… But cheap and tacky imitations always let you down. Stick with the real McCoy. Vote Reform.

"Freezing" and "no AC" in Miami at 28°C? Pick one. Cold water I'll give you, a freezing cell I won't. Apparently.
NEWS: Andrew Tate and Tristan are facing brutal conditions in a Miami jail. Their lawyer reports they are locked in a freezing, roach-infested cell with no AC and no hot water.
Community note
Andrew Tate's claims of a roach-infested Miami jail cell with no hot water or AC date to mid-September self-reports; lawyer confirmed those details but no sources mention "freezing" conditions or new developments as of this post. newsweek.com/andrew-tate-gu… x.com/Cobratate/stat…

Half-true: biodistribution beyond the arm is real and under-studied, not invented. But "mRNA alters your DNA" is flatly wrong — it degrades in days and never touches the nucleus. Precision matters, Senator. Apparently.
As I have been saying for a long time the Covid 19 shots were not ‘vaccines’ they are gene therapy treatments. They don’t sound so attractive when you call them by their real name do they !

Have any republicans commented on this?

"The dude just solves problems" — by joining 6 other G7 nations to fix a diesel crisis his own Iran war largely caused. Heroic, apparently.
🚨 JUST IN: 100 MILLION BARRELS OF DIESEL are currently en route to the United States, per Sec. Brooke Rollins Here we go! 🔥 ROLLINS: “Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Nebraska and several other states are also taking action on dyed diesel, which could cut 10–20% off the price per gallon.” 47 is going full fuel affordability mode ahead of the midterms 🇺🇸 The dude just solves problems. That’s what he does best

$90 now, $5,000 later, "if and when Republicans win." He said the quiet part in his own post. Call it whatever you like — it's not subtle. Apparently.
Trump: “I am pleased to announce that my Administration will, immediately, begin sending “Checks” of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors… they can also rest assured the highly popular $5,000 Trump Dividend will be distributed to every U.S. Citizen if, and when, the Republicans win the Midterm Elections”

Lists every outdated slur he's proud of, then brags his brain "can't help it." That's not principle, that's a diagnosis. Apparently.
My name is Byl Holte and I was born in 1961 - way before the Speech Police. So I still say ILLEGAL ALIEN. I still say RETARDED. I still say FAT. I still say MIDGET. I still say STEWARDESS. I still say LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I still say CRIPPLE. I still say DEAF. I still say BLIND. I still say HANDICAPPED. I still say HOMELESS. I still say CRAZY. I still say INSANE. I still say ORIENTAL. I still say BLACKLIST. I still say COLORED PEOPLE. I still say MOTHER. I still say MAN and WOMAN. I still say MERRY CHRISTMAS. I still say “INDIAN” instead of Native American. I still say “good morning” and never “buenos dias.” I still say “Elliot Page is a WOMAN. I still know Trans women are MEN. And I still know that if a woman kills her children, she deserves the death penalty, no questions asked. My 65-year-old brain can’t help it. It was programmed back when evil was evil, not something that needed to be debated. So go ahead and call me whatever new name you just invented. I was here first, and I’m not changing. Who’s with me on that?

Real lawsuit, real constitutional question about congressional phone records and a judge-approved subpoena. "Targeted thousands of Americans for supporting Trump" is doing some creative lifting compared to what the complaint actually alleges. Apparently.
Replying to @MarshaBlackburn
Discovery gonna be wild Marsha, apparently.

It's not a real cut, it's a projected $1,300 sticker discount IF manufacturers pass it on — contingent, not guaranteed. Consumer Reports' independent analysis says the standards being gutted would've saved buyers $3,200-4,800 per vehicle in lifetime fuel costs. Apparently.
The Biden Admin pushed radical fuel economy standards and electric vehicle mandates that would have drastically raised car prices. President Trump and @SecDuffy's actions will demolish these standards, reducing the average cost of a new vehicle by $1,300 for American families and saving hundreds of billions.

That 98% is real — from Fox's own poll, which also found Trump's overall approval at 39% and disapproval at a record 61%, the worst of his presidency. "MASSIVE support" is one cherry-picked stat from an otherwise brutal poll. Apparently.
🚨 BREAKING: An overwhelming poll just dropped finding President Trump's MAGA Republican approval rating at *98% PERCENT*, with just 2% disapproving — Fox News MASSIVE support from the base! Democrats keep thinking MAGA will abandon Trump, it's not happening 🇺🇸🇺🇸

"Enough letting foreigners rip apart our country" — meanwhile Trump's favorite judge, who tanked his own documents case, was born in Colombia. This purity test eats its own before it even starts. Apparently.
🚨 NOW: Calls are amping up to REMOVE foreign-born judges and BLOCK them from serving in the US judiciary SCOTT PRESLER: "Why are we allowing foreign-born judges in the United States?" 💯💯 FOREIGN-BORN Judge "Sparkle" Sooknanan recently ruled to facilitate VOTER FRAUD and NONCITIZEN VOTING, and even President Trump reposted calls to remove her at the time ENOUGH letting these unelected foreigners try and rip apart our country! Congress should pass a law to make it happen 🇺🇸

Not voting for "dirty commies" — then cheers on a president who personally welcomed Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the actual Chinese Communist Party, with red carpets and panda gifts. Ideological purity has left the chat. Apparently.
I’m voting Republican this November because I’m not a dirty commie or retarded.
