We are now 329 days away from the midterms. Usually, we hear from President Donald Trump speak at the White House a few times a week. He's announcing something.He's talking about whatever is on his mind and going back and forth with reporters. That's normal. But today, today's White House event was very revealing on several different subjects, starting with a controversial second strike on a boat in the Caribbean.Watch this. >> Mr. . President, you said you would have no problem with releasing the full vide ...

Joining us head of King's College Cambridge and columnist for the Financial Times, Jillian Tet and semaphore Congressional Bureau Chief Burgess Everett. So is a inflation essentially gone, Jillian, if only. Um, frankly, inflation has been running above the Fed's 2% target now for several months.The signs are that it has been heading up. The good news is it's not heading up as high as some people feared early this year when President Trump announced the tariffs and that's enabled the White House to say, "Loo ...

New warnings from Republicans in Washington about President Trump's strategy, or lack thereof, on the affordability issue. Even MAGA loyalists like Senator Josh Holly saying, quote, "People aren't dumb." Calling for Republicans to deliver real results on rising costs. The frustration only growing as Trump repeatedly denies the problem exists at all.>> The word affordability is a conjob by the Democrats. When they use the word affordability, they just say they never say anything else. This election is about ...

Senator, I have to uh quote to you something that Donald Trump uh said today. Uh Donald Trump, who was born a rich kid one burrow away from you in New York City, grew up a rich kid, has been a rich guy his entire life, getting much richer in the plunder that he is engaging in as president of the United States. And that person said that person said affordability is the greatest conj job. That is what Donald Trump said today.He believes affordability does not matter. That's what he just said today. >> Lawrenc ...

The man who once implored the American people to disregard what they can see with their own eyes and read is today begging them to dismiss and disbelieve what they feel and experience as well. Donald Trump's latest reality bending endeavor, which we'll share with you in a second, is especially shameless this afternoon given what the rest of us witnessed late yesterday in Tennessee, a single frame snapshot of what appears to be a title shift in the public mood and support for MAGA Republicans. Yes, Republica ...

Hundreds of Washington Republicans, of course, revolted against Trump over his probably biggest political vulnerability and oddest charge that he's faced in this whole first year of the term where Donald Trump basically went out of his way to repeatedly minimize and defend a sex trafficker, refusing the transparency he once vowed, and giving lenience to that trafficker's co-conspirator. That's just a capsule summary of what Republicans ultimately had to revolt against rather than defend when there was a vot ...

Joining us now, Angela Corusone, president of Media Matters, Mini Timaraju, president of Reproductive Freedom for All, and Max Rose, former Democratic congressman of New York. It is good to see you all. Um, Angelo, I I wonder when you look at the aggregate headlines, everything that has transpired just in the past few weeks, and I get that we are in a moment where time feels like a flat circle.Um, is it a minor setback for this presidency or is it a devastating blow. Uh, I think that let's look at how he pe ...

Alan. Um, there are many things that I would recommend to the Republican party that they ignore Donald Trump on for their own political survival. Uh, but one of them is not on healthcare.Actually, as we've suggested before here, Donald Trump has good political instincts. He understands that health care is going to be one of the top issues involving affordability and also afford uh uh regarding fairness. And so the fact that he's talking about negotiating with Democrats while Republicans on the Hill, especia ...

longtime presidential campaign adviser James Carville says it's time for the Democrats to focus on economic pain. He's got a New York Times oped out and Carville says Americans are mad over affordability and always blame the party in charge giving the Democrats a platform to build on. He's arguing for some rage on the economic issue. Uh of course he's a consultant for the Democratic super PAC American Bridge.Want to welcome him to the broadcast. Good morning to you, James. Help us understand not just the ar ...

While President Trump and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani both campaigned on affordability, the issue is amorphous and poorly defined, writes WSJ’s @greg_ip https://t.co/a2XU6DX32A ...
