Yet another example of the people in Trump’s orbit rushing to cash in on his presidency. Trump’s former personal lawyer and U.S. attorney for New Jersey secured a $50 million employment deal from the family of a Venezuelan billionaire banker seeking a pardon.

I just want to remind people what nearly two years of Trump’s presidency—with Republicans controlling Congress and backing him every step of the way—have brought us: Sweeping tariffs costing households more than $1,000 a year.

Continued secrecy surrounding the Epstein files, with Trump’s Justice Department still withholding records. A costly, senseless war with Iran that has driven prices even higher.

I just want to remind people what nearly two years of Trump’s presidency—with Republicans controlling Congress and backing him every step of the way—have brought us: Sweeping tariffs costing households more than $1,000 a year.

A law that is kicking millions of Americans off their health care while giving tax breaks to the wealthy. Millions of taxpayer dollars spent renovating the White House to Trump’s personal liking. Trump’s estimated fortune growing by billions while families struggled with rising costs.

This whole administration is unbelievably corrupt. Trump’s former personal lawyer allegedly sought to buy Trump’s favor through a $5.6 million Kennedy Center donation intended to protect her husband’s business interests in Venezuela.

Then, last week, she stormed into the Oval Office, exasperated, claiming that the Trump appointee who arranged the payment had directed the money to a defense contractor he had previously worked for instead.

I’m heartbroken by the shooting at an elementary school in Oregon that killed three children and a teacher and wounded others. My prayers are with the victims’ families, the students, and the entire Bend community.

New documents have revealed the donors to Trump’s ballroom. Tens of millions of dollars came from big tech and artificial intelligence companies—the very companies that stand to benefit from Trump’s reckless push to block AI regulation.

Wholesale inflation—which tracks prices businesses pay before they reach consumers—hit 6.3% in September, its highest level in nearly four years. This suggests Trump’s war is driving up energy costs for businesses, and those costs are soon likely to get passed on to you.

Understand what this means: Trump knows the war is causing prices to rise, he’s afraid voters will punish him in the midterms if they rise further, so instead, he’s waiting until after the election to double down on his war.

New York Fed Report: Trump's tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to consumer goods inflation by February 2026. Without the tariffs, prices of goods would have fallen. New Canadian tariffs are expected to put additional upward pressure on prices.

The Trump administration has spent nearly fifty billion taxpayer dollars on a senseless war that is raising your costs. Meanwhile, Trump’s sons could be potentially profiting from the war, as defense companies they’ve invested in receive new government contracts.

Three years ago today, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack in Israel’s history, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 more hostage. This heinous attack inflicted profound pain on Jewish communities in Israel and around the world.

The innocent people whose lives were shattered on that day—and all of the far too many innocent people whose lives have been shattered on far too many days during this conflict—deserved to live their lives with security and dignity.

I have no idea what Trump meant by “Let them take out Los Angeles,” but I do know this: his argument that high gas prices are a “small price to pay” to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon is complete nonsense.

Iran didn’t have a nuclear weapon under the previous deal negotiated by Obama. We didn’t have high gas prices. Our military bases weren’t under bombardment. We weren’t running out of critical munitions.
