Trump just told Americans: vote MAGA, or lose federal aid. His threats will backfire.
The president says he’ll withhold money from states that don’t vote MAGA. That’s obviously illegal, and it’s pissing off a country already sick of his corruption.

The Trump/Nixon comparison is inescapable. Even if the GOP is trying to rewrite history to obscure the present.

Blumenthal: Tether is a crypto company that has a stablecoin known as USDT, and it is the major means of Iran avoiding and evading sanctions. What we’ve also exposed is that Cantor Fitzgerald has a major financial tie. Cantor Fitzgerald was owned by Howard Lutnick. It’s still run by his family.

High prices and rising borrowing costs are squeezing family budgets, forcing more Americans to cut back on things like bowling and dining out. For many families, fun is becoming increasingly out of reach. This is Donald Trump’s economy.
