Trump’s war is spreading far beyond his control, while he crashes our economy.

U.S. Gas Prices, Up 11% in a Week, Pile Pressure on Trump

“Gasoline” - a new word Democrats have made up to annoy Trump as much as “affordability”.

US allows India to buy Russian oil during US-Israel war with Iran Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gives India a 30-day waiver to buy Russian crude as a "stop gap measure".

Trump literally funding Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine to hide the impact and cost of his war of choice against Iran.

RFK Jr.’s dunk on Dunkin’ riles up New Englanders: ‘Come and take it’ “We’re going to ask Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, ‘Show us the safety data that show that it’s okay for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with 115 grams of sugar in it,’” the health secretary sai...

RFK wants to go after Iced Coffee. The GOP seems to want to keep losing friends . . .

Hegseth insists the Iran conflict is 'not endless' and declares, 'We fight to win' Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is speaking to widening concerns the U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran could spiral into a protracted regional conflict by declaring, “This is not Iraq."

Trump and Hegseth have no idea what they’ve gotten us into or how to get out.

Oil prices surge and stocks fall amid fears over Iran war Global oil prices are in the high $70s as traffic through Strait of Hormuz comes to a halt. Some analysts have warned they could top $100 a barrel if the stoppage is prolonged.

Trump’s friends make bank when oil prices go up.

Trump promised the MAGA base no new wars. Then he went to war with Iran President Trump promised his "Make America Great Again" voters an "America First" foreign policy. With the war in Iran, he's testing MAGA world's willingness to be flexible on one of its core beliefs.

Trump to NBC News in January: “MAGA is me. MAGA loves everything I do.”

Unlikely MAGA defections will moderate Trump. He believes he can do anything he wants, regardless of who it hurts or what he promised.

Read NPR’s annotated fact check of President Trump’s State of the Union As President Trump delivers his State of the Union address, reporters from across NPR's newsroom will fact check his speech and offer context.

Hate, lies, taunts, denial, and delusions.

A failing and fading would be monarch whose only ideas are bad ones and who left his mojo around here somewhere but can’t remember where.

Moving on, starting this November.
