The Daily Blast: Krugman: Trump Just Revealed Extraordinary Contempt for MAGA Voters
The other day, Donald Trump unveiled a new “plan” to curb beef prices by suspending tariffs on huge amounts of beef imports, while claiming the beef will be sold to the U.S. at a big discount. But he wouldn’t say which countries will be importing the beef or how he secured that commitment. In this, Trump accidentally revealed that his tariffs actually do raise consumer prices, debun
What Comes After Pentagon Pete Wrecks the Defense Department?
The Defense Department is in a crisis unlike we’ve ever seen before. America’s munitions stocks have been decimated and our military competence has been wrecked by the Trump administration.

The Daily Blast: Trump’s Fury Worsens at Natalie Harp Mess as Leaks Grow More Unnerving
Donald Trump’s handling of the Natalie Harp mess has backfired big time.

Need to Know: Waking Up to America’s National Defense Crisis

Words Matter: No, No, Norm, It’s Much Worse Than That
The “Big Beautiful Bill” is certainly big, but it is the opposite of beautiful. The bill includes a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, which have been postponed until after the midterm elections.

The Daily Blast: Trump’s Angry Tirade over Gas Prices Backfires in Humiliating Self-Own
At a rally the other day, Donald Trump handed Democrats the perfect soundbite. “For you to pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline,” Trump seethed, “just remember” it’s to deprive Iran of a nuclear weapon.
