Trump claims eggs and gas are cheap, but we’ve seen eggs go up along with toys, baby items, and more. What price hikes have you noticed?

We want to take a moment to talk about tariffs because honestly, we didn’t realize how bad it was getting until we started comparing notes with friends and family. Stores across the country are already raising prices, and some of the increases are steep.

One interesting idea he adopted from a Dutch commission: a champagne case that converts into an urn.

The idea is that once a year you open it up with your loved ones and give thanks for life’s ups and downs, and another year here.+

Senate Republicans handed over the keys for Social Security to a man who says he’ll do whatever Trump and Musk want.

I won’t stop working to protect Social Security—and I support a bill to expand benefits by $2,400 a year and extend the program’s solvency.

Kander: This is a trade war of choice to support Trump's ego, I guess.

Gupta: And his bank account. He's leveraging the pressure of tariffs to get favorable private deals for the Trump enterprise...

Kander: What an argument! You have to be able to afford less so that the President can get richer.

Deporting migrants to Libya, where torture, slavery, and arbitrary detention prevail, is a flagrant violation of international law. The administration’s plan mirrors a deliberate abandonment of human rights, outsourcing cruelty to a system that dehumanizes with impunity.

I’m at a softball game where there are probably 350-400 people. 75% of the adults are farmers. There’s not a Trump shirt, hat, or bumper sticker to be found. Frankly, I’m shocked.

According to multiple credible sources on X, Israel killed more than 100 people in Gaza just today, including women and children. The US continues to supply the weapons.

Protests continue (although arrests and deportation threats have had a chilling effect).
