How about blaming solar and wind for fossil fuel price hikes when green energy is categorically cheaper.
Trump should stop lying to the American people and start holding Big Oil accountable for high energy prices.

One of the biggest conservative complaint against reform prosecutors has been that they choose to not prosecute certain felonies — DeSantis literally removed an elected prosecutor from office for saying he wouldn’t prosecute abortion offenses.
“Federal prosecutors in D.C. have been instructed not to seek felony charges against people who are carrying rifles or shotguns in [DC], regardless of the strength of the evidence, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and an email reviewed by [WaPo].” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Pirro’s office won’t pursue gun charges over carrying rifles, shotguns
A statement from Pirro on Tuesday said D.C.’s blanket prohibition on carrying shotguns or rifles “is clearly a violation of the Supreme Court’s holdings.”

This is straight up how online games die. I am not kidding. They tweaked something they built the future of the game around, committed to it fully and expected the players to go along with it. Now they're desperately tweaking the new system, agitating the players more every time. Not good!

The DOJ sandwich thrower as it turns out is a much decorated active duty staff Sergeant in the Marines. He identified himself immediately and offered to self surrender to the felony charge, but they sent 20 officers to arrest him. What a debacle it would be if the grand jury declines to indict.
