I guess Little Man believes people care about what he thinks.

We know Republican members of the House certainly don’t.
Mike Johnson: "These are the facts and they're undisputed: They broke the economy and now they want to lecture to the American people about affordability."

Republicans are not up to helping Americans access affordable healthcare coverage.

It’s time to vote them out at all levels of government . . .

The House.

The Senate.

Governors.

Attorneys general.

State legislators.

A clean sweep.

Another big over performance by Dems against a Trump-backed candidate.

House Republicans are watching.

And quivering.

More retirements are coming.

Voters increasingly understand . . .

Republicans don’t care about you.

CNN: That's not what farmers are telling you. One farmer at a town hall told you tariffs drove up prices of fertilizer

ALFORD: It was Biden that drove it up

C: That's not what the farmer told you

A: Well, that's what I'm telling you

C: Sir, excuse me. Are you listening to your constituents?

Hey farmers . . .

It sure would make sense to vote for someone next time that doesn’t wreck your markets.
Dear Leader proudly decrees that he will hand out $12b, in a definitely not socialist manner, to America’s farmers to…

…help them deal with the catastrophic consequences of his disastrous tariff policies.

May as well throw in next year’s “one-time” payment at the same time. Lower administrative costs.

First it was players opting out of bowl games.

Now it’s teams.

College football is a mess.

Coaches and players cashing in is what’s driving the game.

The fans no longer matter.

Time for someone to start fixing something.

Why do they continue to bring these liars on their shows?

BASH: The vast majority of Somalis in Minnesota are US citizens or legal residents. So why send ICE there?

HOMAN: There's a large illegal Somali community there. There's a large illegal alien community there. If you're a US citizen, you have nothing to fear.

This is why the Trump-Republican economy will continue to decline.

Affordability concerns are real because:
- Tariffs raise import costs
- Deportations make it harder to harvest crops
- Attacking Obamacare hikes premiums
- Budget deficits raise mortgage payments
- Undermining the Fed risks inflation.

It's not a hoax; it's a policy choice.

Who cares about the fans, I guess.

College sports sucks.

It’s now just all about coaches and players moving around for the best deal.

Universities should cut their athletic departments loose.

Charge them for using the college’s name, stadium and other facilities.
