“Inflation was at 1.6% for the last three months just prior to the war,” President Trump tells members of Congress at a picnic event.
Reality…
November: 2.7%
December: 2.7%
January: 2.4%
February (almost all pre-war): 2.4%
The White House didn’t try to substantiate this claim when Trump was saying it was “1.7%” in the three pre-war months — instead declaring, as usual, that “President Trump is right” about some other related point he didn’t make.
The most recent rate, for April, is 3.8%. https://t.co/eK80wqSM2C
Just so we’re clear:
Republicans are celebrating blocking millions of women from voting if their married name doesn’t match the name on their birth certificate.
Due to Trump’s tariffs, last month was the largest spike in grocery prices in three years.
So now this is what the Trump Administration suggests you can afford for a meal: “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing.”
BREAKING: After an appeals court denied Trump's effort to withhold SNAP funds for hungry families, the President is appealing YET AGAIN all the way to the Supreme Court.
It is stunning the lengths Donald Trump will go to in order to force children and seniors to go hungry.
Here are the 10 states that will see the highest premium increases for families that lose tax credits if Republicans refuse to act.

Do their Senators know?
Let’s open our eyes. This isn’t a functioning democracy any longer when - in the middle of a high stakes funding fight - the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition.
Billionaires like Trump & Musk should be paying their fair share into Social Security—instead of pushing thousands of SSA workers out & making it harder to get your benefits.
There's NO reason Elon should be paying the same amount into Social Security as someone making $160k.
Trump and many House Republicans falsely claim the cuts to Medicaid they voted for in the Big Ugly Bill were not actually cuts to Medicaid.
How do you know Trump and House Republicans are lying?
Because GOP Sen Josh Hawley just introduced a bill to reverse the cuts to Medicaid.
GasBuddy’s @GasBuddyGuy is the best source for debunkings of the president’s frequent lies about two, three, or five unnamed states supposedly having sub-$2 gas prices. AAA’s web page of state averages (https://t.co/DFrI0efj8S), updated daily, is also helpful.
1) Biggest wealth transfer in American history. 2) Kills solar industry, raising prices 3) almost a trillion dollar cut to Medicaid 4) nursing homes shutting down 5) energy shortages 6) 4.5 trillion in NEW DEBT. — I promise you this bill is worse than you think.
Sucking up to the President should not be a requirement for him to do the right thing for the American people.
These are families who’ve lost their homes, their belongings — the irreplaceable pieces of a life built over decades, reduced to ash.
Only a truly disturbed person would threaten to withhold aid from victims because they don’t like someone.
Most people aren't tracking this, but the Big Ugly bill would effectively ban marketplace insurers from covering abortion care in ALL 50 states.
We can't let this stand. Please help spread the word.
Republicans are jamming this bill through—we have to speak up NOW.
We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state.
We can't let them jam this through in secret.
Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.
Trump math: $1M dinner + lots of kissing up = 1 pardon + erasing a $4.4M penalty.
To Trump, it doesn't matter that Walczak stole millions from the paychecks of nurses and doctors to pay for a yacht. All that matters is how much money his family paid Trump.
