As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the public should be preparing to celebrate the durability of our democracy. Instead, many are wondering whether it will hold another 5, 25, or 250 years. It’s a fair question. Our democracy was built on the need for collective trust in institutions, and trust is plummeting. Last […]

Trump's new inflation remarks leave political analysts aghast
President Donald Trump declared, "I love the inflation," while signing the Secure America Act, drawing swift criticism from Democratic leaders and political analysts. Inflation has climbed to its highest level since 2023, currently at 4.2%. Reactions poured in. "Trump really said, 'I love the inflation.' On camera. For all of America to hear. His contempt for you knows no bounds," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote on X."Donald Trump just said 'I love the inflation,' while handing over another $70 billion to ICE thugs. This administration doesn’t care about working people," Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) wrote on X.Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov suggested the statement handed Democrats the midterms, while economist Ben Zipperer sarcastically noted real wages have declined to January 2025 levels due to inflation.UC Riverside public policy professor Stan Oklobdzija wrote on Bluesky, "Imagine if a political reporter decided to treat Trump's brain-pudding ramblings seriously and wrote a story that led with 'President declares 'Love' for Inflation' and then asked prominent Republicans whether they also loved the 4.2% CPI increase."Watch the video below.

Controversial Platner pulls off political upset in Maine
Overcoming a series of scandals that experts feared would sink his campaign, former oysterman Graham Platner defeated Gov. Janet Mills in the Maine Democratic Senate primary on Tuesday.Platner entered the election with high hopes, as supporters embraced his economic populist message. Yet despite receiving high profile endorsements, including from the democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Platner’s campaign was bogged down by a series of scandals. First it came out that he had a Nazi tattoo on his chest, which he claims he chose without realizing its fascist origins. Then it was revealed that he had made racist, homophobic and sexist comments on Reddit boards, including claiming Black people are bad tippers and that victims of sexual violence needed to take accountability. Next it was revealed that he had shared intimate tests with multiple women while married, with a former campaign adviser accusing him of misleading people about this and other aspects of his past.Despite these potential political liabilities, Platner convinced enough Democratic primary voters that he could defeat the incumbent Republican to prevail in the primary. He will now face off in the general election against Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) — with one caveat. If more scandals come out against Platner, Democrats can try to convince him to withdraw and pick a replacement candidate at a convention in July.
