The Trump administration seized on DoorDash’s claim that breakfast food prices had decreased by 14% to suggest an economic improvement. However, this statistic is misleading due to its limited scope. The DoorDash “Breakfast Basics Index” only includes the prices of eggs, milk, a bagel, and an avocado, excluding significant breakfast staples. Consequently, this narrow focus ignores the rising prices of items like coffee, bread, bacon, and orange juice, which have experienced substantial increases, thus making the overall cost of breakfast more expensive.

House Democrats release new Epstein emails referencing Trump, and suddenly the temperature in the room just went up a few degrees. The buzz is immediate, and the core of the issue is clear: Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious sex offender, seemingly had connections to Donald Trump, and now, these links are becoming increasingly public. The emails, made public by House Democrats, are the latest piece of this already incredibly disturbing puzzle.
In one particular email from 2011, Epstein writes something that immediately raises eyebrows. He mentions a victim, and then cryptically states, “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump… [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.”… Continue reading

Former President Trump took to social media late Monday night, warning the Supreme Court of a catastrophic financial “drubbing” exceeding $3 trillion if it were to strike down his tariffs on imports. He claimed these tariffs were responsible for triggering trillions in U.S. manufacturing investments and described their potential demise as a national security event, which would be “non-sustainable”. Trump’s post contradicted the legal arguments made by the Solicitor General, who attempted to downplay the revenue-generating aspect of the tariffs, which are ultimately paid by American businesses and consumers.

In a recent Truth Social post, former President Donald Trump threatened to deploy troops to Chicago, citing a distressed shopping center, though the “Miracle Mile Shopping Center” he referenced does not exist. The former president’s post appears to have been based on a story discussing office space vacancies in Chicago’s Loop district, seemingly misinterpreting the reasons for these vacancies. This is not the first time Trump has expressed concerns about crime in Chicago, despite recent statistics showing a decrease in violent crime, and he has previously faced pushback from local leaders regarding his proposed use of federal agents. Amidst the situation, the Border Patrol commander leading the administration’s anti-immigration efforts in Chicago and his agents are reportedly being moved out of the city, with some possibly being diverted to Charlotte, North Carolina.
