#WhiteHouse announces #ExecutiveOdor creator #Drumpf to sign sweeping #ExecutiveOrder to bar and complicate mail-in #voting. Despite using mail in voting himself, #DJT joined #RWNJ efforts to restrict #votingaccess and hopes to affect likely dire #GOP results expected in 2026 midterms.

New executive order will create an #ExecBranch controlled list of confirmed #citizens who are eligible and #mandates that any #absentee #ballots only be sent to those on #DrumpfAdmin approved list.

US War On #Iran Not Helping #BondMarket, Rising rates have driven a $2.6 trillion decline in total economic value of treasuries...Since #HerrDrumpf political stranglehold and threats to #Federal Reserve System chair, the U.S. no longer holds a top-tier #credit rating.

Like all his own past #biz ventures, #USA is likely gong down as well wiith #Drumpf ship as deepening trouble in #mideast conflicts create global downward spirals...

#Gas

Bought some gas for one of my cars for the 1st time in months.

$78.15 for 13.026 gals at $5.999/gal for Premium which this particular car requires.

The last time I bought any gas, I think it was around $4.859/gal.

That's a 23.5% increase 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm glad that I don't drive any of my ICE vehicles much any more. 😉

---------------

PS: I also own a #diesel #truck.

The price of diesel at the same station is now $7.299/gal up from around $5/gal the last time I looked.

That's a 46% increase in about the same time frame. 🤯

Just think what this increase is doing to the #trucking industry & what it will soon do to the cost of everything, because everything (at one stage or another) is delivered by truck.

The #USPS already announced that it is imposing an 8% fuel surcharge on pkg deliveries starting on 4/26.

This won't be the last that we see of such surcharges or other cost increases due to the higher fuel costs precipitated by #Drumpf's idiotic war in #Iran.🤦🏻‍♂️
