🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed."
I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

In 1989, Neil Young was part of a US/Russia cultural exchange that fell apart. His guitarist said, “Man, I guess we're just gonna have to keep on rockin’ in the free world.”
“Poncho,” said Young, “that's a good line. I'm gonna use that.”

Bessent lies shamelessly: "We came in, we inherited a mess. We have brought the inflation down." (Prices have risen by nearly 2 percent since Trump took office.)
