Inflation was already around 3 percent when this administration took office, and it has stayed roughly in that range since. Holding inflation roughly steady is not the same thing as bringing prices down.
Families know that.

The President says “tariff” is his favorite word.
But tariffs aren’t magic.
They’re paid by American consumers and businesses. They function like a hidden tax, and if you actually care about affordability, you don’t celebrate policies that raise prices while pretending they don’t.
Trump’s speech last night was built on exaggeration, finger-pointing, and inflated numbers.
A year into the presidency, blaming the last guy stops being an explanation and starts sounding like an excuse, and that tone ran through the entire address.
Starve the VA of staff, let wait times grow, then claim private care is the only answer.
This is privatization by neglect, and it’s pathetic. Shrinking the VA like this is a betrayal of the people who earned better.
They were pushed out, frozen out, or labeled unnecessary.
Veterans do not care what word Washington uses. They care whether a doctor is available.
Put together, 30,000 gone and 35,000 more on the chopping block is all part of a strategy.
It’s the latest in a pattern by this VA Secretary.
Earlier this year, the VA eliminated roughly 30,000 jobs through buyouts and attrition.
I called that out and the VA Secretary went after me on social media, arguing semantics. His defense was that these workers were not “fired.” Fine.
I have spoken to folks on the ground who tell me positions are going unfilled because hiring has slowed, morale is down, and clinicians are burned out. Now those vacancies are being used as proof the jobs were never needed. That is how you hollow out an institution without admitting it.
Now we learn the VA plans to cut up to 35,000 more positions. VA leadership says these are “unfilled” jobs.
Many are nurses, doctors, mental health providers, and support staff.
At my town hall this past weekend, a veteran told me he has been waiting six months for a mental health appointment.
That is a total failure to keep faith with someone who served this country.

Mike Johnson has lost control of the House.
This is the first time since the 75th Congress in 1937–1939 that four discharge petitions have succeeded.

Mike Johnson is failing the most basic test of leadership.
When the president makes indefensible remarks about a murdered American couple and the Speaker of the House refuses to condemn his words—even as his fellow Republicans call them out—that tells you everything.

Mike Johnson won’t condemn Trump because that would require a spine.
This is the same “Speaker” who can’t keep his own conference in line.
“Hegseth should resign or be removed as secretary of defense.
Not tomorrow, not after another investigation.
Now.”
When science is weakened, communities pay the price with higher costs, greater losses, and lives put at risk.
Putting ideology over evidence is just plain stupid.
This institution helps forecast hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and heat waves.
Its scientists and aircraft improve weather prediction, disaster response, aviation safety, farming, and national security.
I will fight this with everything I have.
Trump budget director Russell Vought, who Susie Wiles rightly called “a right-wing absolute zealot,” is dismantling one of the world’s leading Earth science research centers.
It is ideological sabotage.
The House now has enough signatures to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits for 3 years.
Healthcare for millions of Americans’ has always been worth the fight.
Mike Johnson needs to bring this to a vote, now. There is no reason for further delay.

I am supporting a bill to end lifetime active service on the Supreme Court, set 18-year terms, and create regular, fair appointments. We need to lower partisan warfare, restore trust, and modernize the Court.
