Trump Slams Washington Failure as Democrats Melt Down Over White House Address

President Donald Trump delivered a forceful primetime address from the White House Wednesday night, laying out what he described as historic progress on the economy, border security, and restoring American strength — prompting immediate backlash from top Democrats who critics say offered rhetoric instead of solutions.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer took to liberal media outlets and prepared statements to denounce the Trump White House address, accusing the president of being “untethered from reality.” Their comments, however, focused more on partisan outrage than addressing the policies Trump highlighted during his remarks.

Jeffries appeared on MSNBC, claiming Trump had “made things worse,” while repeating familiar Democratic talking points on tariffs and inflation — arguments that conservatives say ignore global economic pressures and the damage left behind by the previous administration.

Schumer followed with a statement suggesting Trump was “living in a bubble,” despite the president pointing to falling energy prices, renewed manufacturing investment, and tougher enforcement at the southern border — areas where polling continues to show Trump outperforming Democrats with working-class voters.

Miami Beach Audit Approved After Lawmaker Alleges Mismanagement

State lawmakers have approved a full audit of Miami Beach after Rep. Fabian Basabe raised concerns about “mismanagement” and a lack of transparency.
The Florida Auditor General will now review how the city handles its nearly $1B budget, procurement practices, and other operations.

City officials say they already undergo strict annual audits and will fully cooperate with the state to clear up what they call misleading claims.

Trump Rolls Out $12 Billion Relief Plan for Farmers Struggling Under China Trade Fight

President Donald Trump on Monday introduced a $12 billion relief package aimed at helping farmers who have been squeezed by the long-running trade dispute with China and by rising production costs.

Trump rolled out the plan during a White House roundtable with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, members of Congress, and farmers representing a wide range of crops.

Trump said the money, which comes from tariff revenue, is meant to give producers some stability as they wrap up this year’s harvest and prepare for the next one. Rollins added that $11 billion will be released immediately, with another $1 billion reserved for specialty crops.

A large share of the funding will be distributed through the USDA’s Farmer Bridge Assistance Program, which will offer one-time payments for major row crops. Producers of soybeans and sorghum have faced the steepest losses, since China is typically the top buyer of both crops and has scaled back purchases during the trade fight.

Farm groups say the new support is helpful but warn it doesn’t solve the bigger problems of high costs and unpredictable markets. Smaller and younger farmers—especially those who rent most of their land—are under the most financial pressure.

Iowa farmer Robb Ewoldt said he’s cutting back by selling equipment he doesn’t absolutely need and considering some overnight trucking shifts to help cover his bills. “I don’t want to hand this level of stress to my kid,” he said.

Meanwhile, the administration is also responding to public frustration over record beef prices. Over the weekend, Trump signed an executive order directing the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to review possible anti-competitive practices in the food and farm supply chain, including seed, fertilizer, equipment, and meatpacking.

🚨 Florida has officially designated CARE and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.

The move restricts state funding, limits operations, and signals heightened law enforcement scrutiny amid security concerns.

The declaration—announced today from Tallahassee—cites alleged ties between the Muslim Brotherhood and extremist activity abroad, along with accusations that CARE has acted as a U.S.-based affiliate supporting the network’s political and ideological operations. Florida’s administration said the decision followed a months-long review by state security, legal, and intelligence offices.

🚨 Liberal media strikes again, Marjorie Taylor Greene Confronts ‘Accusatory’ 60 Minutes Host in Fiery Interview

During her 60 Minutes interview, Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed back as Lesley Stahl fired off another round of loaded, accusatory questions.

It’s the same playbook every time:
👉 Host claims neutrality
👉 Questions drip with bias
👉 Then corporate media pretends they’re the victims

Americans are tired of journalists acting like activists.
The interview wasn’t a “conversation” — it was an ambush wrapped in a smile.
