Last night, Trump claimed he had “the best job numbers.” FACT CHECK: Small businesses lost 120,000 jobs just in the month of November.

Last night, Trump said energy prices are coming down “very substantially.” FACT CHECK: WRONG! Energy prices are skyrocketing under Donald Trump. Household electricity prices are up 13% since Trump took office, meaning families are spending $100 more each year on electricity

This is life or death for Americans: Tomorrow is the moment of truth for Senate Republicans: are they going to address health care costs, or will they sit by and let premiums explode for millions of American families?

Trump claimed in a speech last night that he was “crushing” inflation. FACT CHECK: The average family has already paid more than $700 in higher costs because of inflation since President Trump took office in January and prices are still rising.

I asked Secretary Hegseth directly: Will he let every Member of Congress see the full, unedited tapes of the September 2nd boat strike? His answer? We have to study it. What the hell have they been doing for the last three months? The American people need transparency.

While Trump was mocking affordability and giving himself an A++++ on the economy: Voters in Georgia and Florida gave him a BIG FAT F. Yet another warning shot from the ballot box. Americans are tired of paying more for the things they need.

The first stop on Trump’s so-called affordability tour was a train wreck. He kept calling affordability "a hoax." But Americans can see that it's very real every time they pay their bills and go to the grocery store.

It takes a special kind of delusion to tell parents to buy their kids fewer toys and pencils while bragging about building a new White House ballroom and gold in the Oval Office.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing

Anyone listening to Donald Trump’s speech last night could see that he simply does not get what Americans are struggling through. He is trapped in his billionaire bubble.

What happened to day 1? It’s day 323.
Trump: We are bringing it down. We are coming down more. We are coming down a lot more. It takes a little time to come down. They were ruining it.

I just confronted Secretary Hegseth and demanded that he release the unedited video of the September 2nd strikes immediately. What is he hiding?

Tonight, Trump is giving a BS speech on affordability in Pennsylvania. But here’s what he and his administration really think about it - in their own words:

INFLATION: Trump promised to “defeat” inflation. But 57% of Americans believe Trump is LOSING the battle against inflation. Now, he’s on his way to give a speech in PA TONIGHT to feed you fake news about soaring costs because he’s desperate and feeling the heat.

No one in the Trump Administration can get their story straight about the September 2nd boat strikes. If the Pentagon fails to release the tapes, Congress will restrict Hegseth’s travel budget. It’s time for Trump and Hegseth to do the right thing. Release the tapes. Give the

Trump can’t claim to be “tough on China” if he is willingly selling them some of the most advanced chips in the world that they can use to strengthen their military and beat America in the AI race. This is classic Donald Trump: He’s so desperate for his photo op with

Trump announced he was giving the green light for Nvidia to send even more powerful AI chips to China. This is dangerous. This is a terrible deal, all at the expense of our national security. Trump must reverse course before it’s too late.
