MSNBC· 2025-07-09 00:08
Zoron mom Donnie uh came out of nowhere with less money, less fame, beat uh the the Democratic establishment, beat Mario Cuomo. Uh I should say Andrew Cuomo, son of Mario Cuomo, known in New York. Uh is that a good thing for the Democratic party.Well, he ran a tremendous race. He outworked the opposition. He outcommunicated the opposition. He out organized the opposition.And I think one of the things that was key about what he was able to do is that he ran directly at the issue of affordability across every ...

Six months into the Trump presidency, here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly about the economy
MSNBC· 2025-07-06 19:00
Economy Overview - The headline numbers of the economy look pretty good, with the stock market at record highs and more 401k millionaires than ever before [3] - The labor market shows 147,000 jobs added, which is right on average, and the unemployment rate is at 41% [4] - Inflation has been tamer than expected, with egg and gas prices decreasing, putting more money in people's pockets [5] Economic Slowdown - The economy is slowing down, with first quarter GDP growing only 05%, a significant decrease from the previous quarter's 24% [6] - This slowdown is attributed to less manufacturing, construction, and industrial production, with companies and small businesses pulling back due to tariff concerns [6] - Home affordability is a concern, with home prices at all-time highs and rising costs for buying or renting, leading to increased consumer debt and credit card APRs around 24% [7] Economic Challenges - The resumption of student loan payments is putting pressure on people's finances, leading to rising delinquencies [8] - The potential expiration of tariff freezes introduces uncertainty, with possible dramatic effects or more smoke than fire [9][10] - Cuts to subsidies, especially for lower-income individuals, Medicare, and SNAP programs, along with potential loss of healthcare, create uncertainty [11] Wealth Disparity - The widening wealth gap is a concern, as those who don't own stocks or assets like homes are being left out of the prosperity [12][13] - While half of Americans who own stocks or property are doing well, those trying to get a mortgage face rates of 66% and average home prices around $400,000 [14] - Tax cuts may have an opposite wealth effect, as those on Medicaid or SNAP may contribute less to the economy due to a lack of surplus [15][16]

MSNBC· 2025-07-06 16:51
All right, welcome back to the weekend prime time. Now that Trump's mega bill is now mega law, Democrats are pivoting from fighting the bill's passage to using it against Republicans in the midterms. The bill is wildly unpopular.I probably don't need to tell you that. A Fox News poll found only 38% of registered voters support it while 59% oppose it. DNC Chair Ken Martin tells the AP, quote, "Republicans own this mess and it's an albatross around their necks heading into the midterms, this is the least popu ...

'Overwhelming enthusiasm': Inside Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory
MSNBC· 2025-07-05 00:16
In the days since it became clear that Zora Mamani would be the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City, the response from Republicans has been about as unhinged as you might expect. Donald Trump is practically frothing at the mouth, threatening to arrest Mom Donnie, who of course has not broken any laws. There's talk on the right that they're going to like denaturalize him and deport him.At least one Republican congressman has called for the 33-year-old state assemblyman, a naturalized US citizen, to ...
