There is little question that there needs to be significant improvement in cost of living between here and November for Republicans to perform well in the midterms. Likewise, that improvement needs to be dramatic in order for Trump’s efforts across a range of policies to be viewed as successful.

JUST IN: Canada court blocks Alberta separatists’ bid to force an independence vote over failure to consult Indigenous people.

BREAKING UPDATE: Desiree Segari, the Florida woman who called for Trump supporters to be SHOT, has been sentenced to 13 months in prison.

🚨 LMAO! Senate Dems' witch hunt against FBI Director Kash Patel FAILED COONS: You attended the Olympics in Milan. To what extent did that help you carry out your mission? PATEL: FBI and DHS are responsible for the security of the Olympics. 250,000 Americans traveled to Milan. "We had ZERO major security incidents there involving American citizens." "We purposefully planned that trip around the Olympics because the top cyber criminal from the CCP was housed in Italian custody. While there, we worked an agreement to have the individual expelled to Italy instead of going back to China."

Mike Pence: "I think Republicans ought to do a lot of soul-searching" before 2028 "I think Republicans face a new time of choosing — whether we're going to stay on the path of the traditional conservative principles that have always defined our party for the last half century, or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism" "We've always been a party committed to low taxes, including low tariffs and free trade. Now, as we witnessed, the president imposed unilateral tariffs on friend and foe alike until the Supreme Court stepped in and used the Constitution to turn him back." "I know Donald Trump better than his most ardent defenders know him. Okay? And he is not ideological. In fact, he often bristled when I would refer to policies as conservative. He would, with a wave of a hand, say to me, 'That's just common sense.' But now, as you see the stops and starts on our support for Ukraine under this administration, nationalizing American businesses, unilateral tariffs, price controls on everything from pharmaceuticals to credit cards, all of this should should create a backdrop for a very healthy debate over whether we're going to stay moving in the direction, on these issues, that President Trump has led our party, or whether we're going to re-ground ourselves back to those timeless conservative principles, I think, that have always made not only our party successful but, more importantly, have made America strong and prosperous and free."

Wow!
