"For now, the affordability issue belongs to Democrats. Everything the administration is doing on the economy not only won’t make things better, it’s already unpopular. Tax cuts for the wealthy, tariffs, cutting off benefits to low-income people — they can say it’s going to improve the average person’s life, but that average person isn’t going to buy it."

"Republican lawmakers are finally reading the room, and for once, the writing on the wall isn’t spelled M-A-G-A. The economy is shrinking, the tariffs are hitting red states the hardest, and millions of Americans—the same ones Trump promised to uplift—are watching their grocery bills rise while their SNAP benefits are slashed."

"Farmers in Iowa, manufacturers in Michigan, and truckers in Texas aren’t getting richer off these trade wars; they’re getting crushed. …
the migration has begun. Slowly, quietly, and maybe even too late. But it’s happening. And when it’s over, the GOP will look up, dazed and confused, wondering how the man they built their empire around ended up standing alone in the dust."
