The President started a war Feb 28. Today marks the 60-day constitutional limit under the War Powers Act. Gas is up to $4.39/gal ($25B spent). While he calls reporting "seditious," the math is undeniable. The resolution returns. Call your senator. The sky is blue, the war is real, and the clock is ticking. #WarPowersAct #EndTheWar #GasPrices #Politics #Resistance #CivicDuty #StopTheWar #Democracy https://twp.ai/9OUqJf

TODAY’S AVERAGE PRICE OF GAS IN THE U.S. IS $4.30 PER GALLON, UP $0.07 FROM YESTERDAY, $0.27 FROM LAST WEEK AND $0.31 FROM LAST MONTH.
The average price of a gallon of gas one year ago today was $3.18.
I saw some #republican moron claiming we were paying $6 for gas two years ago... they lie so much:
Average National Gas Prices For Last Decade:
2016 $2.00
2017 $2.30
2018 $2.70
2019 $2.80
2020 $2.20
2021 $3.00
2022 $4.00
2023 $3.50

As Trump continues to deploy US troops to the Middle East to fight a foreign war with Iran, as gas prices shoot through the roof, and as we witness horrific job losses, Donald Trump is playing golf with his billionaire friends in the comfort of his own home, while the Epstein files remain hidden.
