Today's @WayTooEarly discussion about CPAC led me to drop my Ronald Reagan impersonation. (I won't quit my day job.)

“Remember When We Used to Take World War III Seriously?”

My @monthly latest on the plotless farce of the Iran war

CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale hasn't conducted an on-air fact check of Trump in more than three months, a stretch that coincidentally began around the same time Paramount announced its merger with WBD

[Jonathan Lemire @JonLemire]

President Trump, once again, does not follow through with a threatened attack on Iran and, once again, claims that a peace deal with Tehran is close

[Kathryn Watson @kathrynw5]

As he has before, Trump cancels the strikes for discussions

NEW: Washington Post Slapped With Massive Class Action Lawsuit for Alleged Price Gouging of Its Most Loyal Subscribers via ‘Surveillance Pricing’

An attorney for the plaintiffs told @Mediaite the case could generate “millions, if not billions, in damages." (link in next tweet)

Trump's inflation flippancy gifts Dems ready-made midterm ads https://t.co/MHTeOFtOJQ

[Steven Rattner @SteveRattner]

Inflation spiked to its highest level in 3 years last month: 4.2%.

Trump’s tariffs and the Iran War are undoubtedly hurting Americans’ pocketbooks.

[Matt Lewis @mattklewis]

I can think of at least one who is worse...

[Political Polls @PpollingNumbers]

🔴 Trump on Platner “He’s a thug, and they’re trying to make excuses for him. He’s worse than any human being that’s ever run for office.”

[Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree]

It didn't take long for House Democrats to create that graphic

[Politics & Poll Tracker 📡 @PollTracker2024]

Politico: People close to President Trump are concerned about Ohio and Senator Jon Husted’s political team, and there is consternation about whether they’re up to the task

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

What?

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number?

Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation.

"Graham Platner could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and not lose any voters because this is the world that we have decided to live in — for better or worse.” -- @mattklewis

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: U.S. inflation surged to a 4.2% annual rate in May, as higher energy prices put more pressure on the economy. https://t.co/f5ZEMpwzRy

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

Unbelievable!!

Here is exactly what Trump’s war on Iran, costing billions everyday, is doing to Americans.

MAGA used to call this Biden inflation and scream from the rooftops over this garbage.

NOT WHAT WE CAMPAIGNED FOR.

NOT WHAT PEOPLE VOTED FOR.

NATION IN DECLINE.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

CNN: For consumers, if it feels like you can't keep up with these higher prices. It's probably because you can't, right? Inflation is rising faster than wages. Paychecks are just not going as far.

[Kathryn Watson @kathrynw5]

If you're feeling the squeeze — it's not in your head.

Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy is going all-out to get his 26-year-old son-in-law elected to a Wisconsin House seat, infuriating Republicans in the district who say he's abusing his office and access to President Trump. https://t.co/3pRXAIejDd
