'Enough of their price gouging': New Democratic ad slams 'greedflation'

Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, facing a tough reelection against Republican and former hedge fund manager David McCormick, is signaling to voters that he's on their side in the fight against inflation. Casey's first ad of the cycle centers on «greedlfation,» the concept that the rise in prices squeezing consumers is mainly driven by corporate greed for excessive profits. «I’m taking on big corporations because I’ve had enough of their price gouging. I call it greedflation, and I’m fighting back,» Casey wrote Thursday in a tweet featuring the ad. x x YouTube Video «My plan gives the Federal Trade Commission the power to punish corporate price-gouging. And let’s roll back their huge corporate tax breaks, putting money in your pocket instead,» Casey explains after the spot ticks through a list of reasons the price of common goods have spiraled. Recent Navigator Research polling found that 85% of voters believe corporate greed has contributed to inflation, with 59% calling it a «major» cause factor. Democrats seem keen to make it a part of the 2024 pitch.  President Joe Biden even gave Casey's initiative a shout out during his recent State of the Union address. “Pass Bobby Casey’s bill and stop this,” he said. “I really mean it.” RELATED:  New poll shows it's the greedflation, stupid Campaign Action

From the 'big lie' to the big grift, Trump’s destroying the RNC

From the 'big lie' to the big grift, Trump’s destroying the RNC

If Donald Trump knows how to do anything, it’s destroy a business. And while the Republican National Committee might not be a “business” in the conventional sense, Trump and his family are doing their level best to bring their special magic to the operation. Yup, they’re gonna burn the whole place down. On Tuesday night, The Washington Post broke the news that prospective new RNC hires were being given a new loyalty test. In recent days, Trump advisers have quizzed multiple employees who had worked in key 2024 states—and who are reapplying for jobs—about their views on the last presidential election, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private interviews and discussions. The interviews have been conducted mostly virtually, as the applicants are based in key swing states. “Was the 2020 election stolen?” one prospective employee recalled being asked in a room with two top Trump advisers. The 2020 election was not stolen, of course. This lie was propagated by Donald Trump, a collection of now-indicted lawyers, aides, and hangers-on, as well as dozens of Republican members of Congress to delegitimize or even invalidate the election’s results. Through investigations and numerous court filings, we now know who constructed the lies, who spread them, what they were meant to achieve, and how the key players knew there was no damn evidence for any of it. So prospective RNC hires were given this litmus test, according to the Post. It suggests that if the hires won’t parrot pro-sedition propaganda on Dear Leader's behalf, there's no room for them in Republicanism. And despite a bit of generic bluster from an RNC spokesperson, nobody's much denying that.

GOP's latest pitch: Everyone hates us. Please send money!

For the most part, political fundraising pitches skew alarmist, bordering on histrionic. That's true of both major U.S. parties, of course. But only one of those parties is currently led by a black hole of iniquity who, when it comes to donor cash, is like a little kid who licks every kolache in the kitchen so no one else can have any. Coincidentally, that’s the same party whose policies are so deeply unpopular they have to frighten people with imaginary crises and, when that fails, outright attempt to steal elections. So what’s their latest tack? Ah, yes. Acknowledging that you don’t want to come to their kegger because they’re super unpopular now—but could you find it in your heart to show up anyway? And, oh, please bring 16 bottles of margarita mix. The Kirkland stuff should be fine.

ICYMI: Trump’s Bible-hustle backlash, new House map is trash

Trump's pretending to be president, with an 'envoy' and everything Trump is conducting shadow diplomacy, and the facts of it are terrifying. The House map was already skewed to the GOP. Now it's even worse Can Democrats reclaim the House against the odds? Some Christians are aghast at Trump's $60 Bible 'hustle' Actual Trump quote: “When I drink my little wine … and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness.” Inside the latest plot to turn a generation against birth control Ban abortion, message against the pill, and turn back the clock on women’s rights a hundred years. Now Biden's dragging Trump's oh-so-busy golf schedule—and it's hilarious Who cares if Biden visited eight swing states in 18 days? Trump won a couple golf tourneys at his own club!
