Poor Donald. Can’t handle journalists’ hard questions and thorough investigations into his actions, so he’s trying to ban them. Definitely a sign of a president confident that he has delivered for the American people.

Trump targets more news outlets, saying he will ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House

There you have it. Trump doesn’t want any safeguards on AI because he’s concerned they would cause the stock market to go down under his watch.

Diesel prices are breaking records every day due to Trump’s war in the Middle East. In the coming weeks, that’s likely to trickle down to everything Americans buy. Brace yourselves.

How record diesel prices will rip through the U.S. economy. Trucks, rails are only the start

Record diesel prices are already walloping the transportation sector, and if energy prices stay high, the economic impact will spread.

Just think: inflation was gradually trending down when President Trump took office. In less than two years, he was able to send inflation back up and interest rates along with it.

Due to the President’s debacle in Iran, interest rates are unfortunately heading back up. That means higher borrowing costs for car loans, credit card balances, and mortgages on top of all the higher prices the war has already caused.

The American people should never forget that when they faced exploding costs from a failed war in Iran and dangerous uncertainty from unchecked artificial intelligence, House Republicans decided to cancel work in Washington and go home for nearly eight weeks. Shameful.

It’s not just Trump pushing for a stock-purchasing ban that doesn’t include himself. House Republicans passed one, and blocked a vote on a Democratic amendment that would have made the ban include him.

Trump Made 29,000 Securities Trades, More Than All of Congress

Donald Trump made nearly 29,000 securities trades in 17 months — more than every member of Congress combined. The stock-purchasing ban he’s pushing would leave him exempt

$246,000,000. That’s how many taxpayer dollars the Trump administration is spending on their failed Iran War EVERY DAY. And that’s on top of the over $100 billion more Americans have paid for energy since the war started.

Gas prices are surging due to a failed war in Iran, the Attorney General says we should not try to regulate AI, and the President of the United States is blaming Democrats for his 2024 assassination attempt. Just another day in Trump’s America.

Every American needs to ask themselves: Why did a Russian oligarch close to Putin—who recently traveled alongside Putin in China—spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Trump’s son’s wedding celebrations?

NEW: Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas Wedding Was Secretly Bankrolled by Russian Oligarch Close to Putin Umar Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses at Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish wedding, including renting out a private island and paying for the fireworks show.

You cannot read this and think this is a person capable of understanding or caring about the very serious threat AI poses.

Just to recap what we have very recently learned about Trump, his administration, and his family: Trump thinks concerns over AI are a “hoax” and rejected calls to regulate it.

What ever happened to this $2000 check Trump promised last year? Asking for a friend.

Warm wishes to everyone gathering with family and loved ones to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. May this season of reflection and renewal inspire us to reject hatred, embrace our shared humanity, and work together toward a more peaceful and hopeful future. Shana Tovah!

Twenty-five years later, I will never forget September 11, 2001. I was meeting with colleagues in a conference room in the Capitol Building when news spread that two planes had struck the World Trade Center in New York.

Translation: Trump is worried that high gas prices could sink Republicans in the midterms. He believes escalating the war would drive prices even higher—despite repeatedly claiming that Iran has been “decimated”—and appears to be planning further escalation after the election.

Q: Do you expect negotiations with Iran to restart at some point? Trump: Uhhhhhh... we're not looking for it to be honest with you. This war will end immediately after our election

Trump can’t figure out how to end his war in Iran, which has jacked up prices. Rather than doing everything he can to lower prices in other ways, he’s escalating his trade war with Canada, which will jack up prices even more.

Trump, living in his fantasy world, has claimed once again that low gas prices are just right around the corner. Let’s check in on how things are going in the real world. www.cbsnews.com/news/oil-pri...

Happy Labor Day! America was built by generations of working people whose hard work, skill, and determination have moved our country forward. Today, we celebrate them—and recommit ourselves to building an economy where hard work is rewarded and every worker has the opportunity to get ahead.

Stories were published showing Trump’s top military leaders had communicated in writing concerns about the viability of his war in Iran. What does our esteemed Defense Department do? Remove the documents from their internal system and then essentially say the reporting is fake news.

Pentagon cuts access to classified information amid Iran war concerns

Documents associated with the Secretary of Defense Orders Book were removed from a Pentagon internal web portal on the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network.

The House just got back from a 5-week recess. But today Speaker Mike Johnson decided to cancel 2 more weeks Members of Congress should be in DC working. The American people elected us to Congress to address the issues they are struggling with, specifically, the high cost of living.

They’ve failed to achieve their military objectives, cost American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars, and sent gas prices soaring. I suppose renaming the Strait of Hormuz after Trump would serve as a helpful reminder of how his administration has been an absolute failure.

Homeland Security agents who typically investigate horrid crimes like human trafficking and child exploitation are now being assigned to Trump’s endless crusade to uncover purported voter fraud that can be used as a pretext to suppress votes.

The Trump administration continues to break records. Thanks to Trump’s Iran war, August 2026 was the most expensive August for gas prices in U.S. history.

August is on track to become the most expensive month ever at the gas pump, surpassing the record average of $3.97 set in 2022, according to AAA.

“Large batches of ballots would be rejected by the portal if even a single ballot couldn’t be verified.” “Would create a massive new workload for election officials” “Workers involved in developing the USPS system feared it would crash”

So let me get this straight: our tax dollars are potentially being used to secretly pay MAGA influencers to promote the Iran war and the Trump administration? I suppose it's not surprising that they are unable to openly defend their disastrous record.

Conservative veterans with large social media followings have been hired by the Defense Department and are amplifying Pete Hegseth’s culture-war fights.

Mortgage rates were expected to fall this year. But thanks to Trump’s failed war in Iran, they've risen to their highest level since June 2025. Someone buying a typical home now will pay over $200 a month more in interest than with prewar rates.

The expectation had been for falling rates this year, but the war with Iran and its resulting rise in oil prices upended that.

Some of our top military leaders are now warning Trump that his war in Iran is compromising military readiness in other parts of the world and seriously risking our national security.

The national debt just surpassed $40,000,000,000,000. Meanwhile, Trump is focused on building a lavish ballroom featuring Italian carved columns.

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” adds $4,200,000,000,000 to the national debt. A trillion of that goes straight to the wealthiest 1% of Americans. There’s only one party that is blowing up our national debt to cut taxes for the wealthy.
