Gas prices are skyrocketing.

Biden was right about electric cars and wise not to start a war with Iran - or anyone else.

Inflation Had Steadied Before War With Iran

Every time the healthy economy Trump inherited from Biden tries to break through, Trump gets in the way.

US allows India to buy Russian oil during US-Israel war with Iran Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gives India a 30-day waiver to buy Russian crude as a "stop gap measure".

Trump literally funding Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine to hide the impact and cost of his war of choice against Iran.

β€˜Soulless hotel conference space’: Trump’s East Wing ballroom is poised for approval despite scathing public feedback | CNN Politics President Donald Trump’s massive East Wing ballroom project is poised to get its final approval from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation’s capit...

Donald Trump stacked the commission in charge of approving his golden ballroom with loyalists.

Yet even they can't deny that a majority of Americans oppose the project.

Destroying the White House East Wing to feed Trump's ego will be a stain on our history. www.cnn.com/2026/03/05/p...

Trump promised the MAGA base no new wars. Then he went to war with Iran President Trump promised his "Make America Great Again" voters an "America First" foreign policy. With the war in Iran, he's testing MAGA world's willingness to be flexible on one of its core beliefs.

Trump to NBC News in January: β€œMAGA is me. MAGA loves everything I do.”

Unlikely MAGA defections will moderate Trump. He believes he can do anything he wants, regardless of who it hurts or what he promised.

Oil prices surge and stocks fall amid fears over Iran war Global oil prices are in the high $70s as traffic through Strait of Hormuz comes to a halt. Some analysts have warned they could top $100 a barrel if the stoppage is prolonged.

Trump’s friends make bank when oil prices go up.

Hegseth insists the Iran conflict is 'not endless' and declares, 'We fight to win' Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is speaking to widening concerns the U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran could spiral into a protracted regional conflict by declaring, β€œThis is not Iraq."

Trump and Hegseth have no idea what they’ve gotten us into or how to get out.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Read NPR’s annotated fact check of President Trump’s State of the Union As President Trump delivers his State of the Union address, reporters from across NPR's newsroom will fact check his speech and offer context.

Hate, lies, taunts, denial, and delusions.

A failing and fading would be monarch whose only ideas are bad ones and who left his mojo around here somewhere but can’t remember where.

Moving on, starting this November.

Trump fully cut off US aid to Ukraine. He wants Putin to win.

Fortunately, Europe stepped up. But can they continue to carry the burden alone?

New GDP data falls far short, shows 2025 ended with weak economic growth In the first year of Trump’s second term, economic growth fell to a nine-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low. It’s worth asking why.

So proud and grateful to @sccdp.bsky.social leadership for the Superbowl towel distribution. Security tried to confiscate them, but sneaking one in became its own tiny rebellion. Many were seen during all those Seahawks field goals β€” and 1000s more at the Seahawks victory parade.

Opinion | Trump Is Raising Billions in Federal Funds. That’s Not a Good Thing.

Trump is amassing billions he claims the right to spend without Congressional approval or oversight.

Venezuelan oil money, side deals with Intel and Nvidia, anonymous donors to his ballroom, and more.

All while decimating the IRS and its ability to collect taxes.
