Big Bird, Big Bills and Bad Polls.

Gas has hit $4 a gallon nationally and over $5 in Las Vegas as the Iran conflict drags past a month with no end in sight. Farmers are warning that rising fuel and fertilizer costs are coming for your grocery bill next. A federal judge struck down Trump's executive order defunding NPR and PBS, calling it unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination, but much of the damage to public media has already been done. Tomorrow the Supreme Court hears oral arguments on birthright citizenship, a case that could render 255,000 American-born babies stateless every year. And a new UMass Amherst poll puts Trump's approval at 33%, with 63% disapproving of how he has handled the Iran war. The working class is getting hit on every front at once. The answer is to refuse to be overwhelmed. Stay lit.
