President Trump, who ran for a second term pledging to lower costs on “Day One,” is still grappling with stubbornly high consumer costs.

Patience, his allies worry, is not something voters are conditioned to handle.
The Trump administration is trying to talk voters into liking the economy
President Donald Trump, who ran on lower prices, is facing some of the same problems as Joe Biden: The economy looks good, but consumers aren’t feeling it.

It sounds like the most deranged Latin American caricature of yankee imperialism come to life. It would be comical if it weren’t serious.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's a day, & the president is illegally monetizing the office & stealing the power of the purse. Again.

Democrats—if they take back the House—already needed to launch an investigation into Bove’s egregious criminal conduct on Trump’s behalf before his confirmation to the 3rd Circuit. But they should also look into his brazen partisanship, which obviously violates the judicial Code of Conduct.

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.
