U.S. economic growth dropped to 1.5 percent in the second quarter, down from a 2.1 percent annual rate in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Thursday. Economists were expecting a GDP growth rate of 1.8 percent, but thanks to President Trump’s Iran war, disastrous tariffs (including new tariffs levied on more than 50 countries last week), and cuts to government spending, we are, once again, not doing as well as Trump claims.“Americans are feeling gloomy: consumer confidence remains in the doldrums as households worry about rising costs,” The Economist reports. “Although annual inflation slowed to 3.5 percent in June from 4.2 percent in May, thanks largely to a temporary fall in petrol prices, renewed fighting has since pushed oil prices higher again.”Regular gasoline came in at an average of $4.22 a gallon in the second quarter, a dramatic increase from less than $3 a gallon before the U.S. and Israel began the war on Iran in February. Now that the shaky U.S.-Iran ceasefire is dead, Americans are bracing, once again, for painful prices at the gas pump. These latest figures reaffirm that the main concern right now for Americans is cost—of just about everything. Even Fox News recognizes that voters are unhappy with Trump’s economy and want “major change.” And by “major change,” we do not mean more tariffs. Plus, the Federal Reserve opted to hold interest rates steady for a fifth consecutive meeting on Wednesday. New Fed chairman Kevin Warsh acknowledged that there’s no quick fix to ease the cost of living, telling reporters there is no “magic wand” to bring prices down. In other words, Americans are getting the worst of both worlds: an economy that’s slowing down while prices keep climbing.But of course, in Trump’s own words, he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation” when making decisions about the war in Iran.
Despite repeated threats from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, prediction markets are signaling overwhelming confidence that the Israeli leader will travel to New York before September 30.

President Donald Trump faces a critical weapons shortage as his war with Iran continues — and now he's turning to an unlikely source for help: tech bros. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth conferred an urgent meeting with a number of defense technology startups to get help with improving the military's operational efficiency, according to The Washington Post's Thursday morning report. "Leading defense tech firms were summoned," the report stated, "including AI-aircraft software company Shield AI, the autonomous weapons firm Anduril, cruise missile start-up CoAspire and low-cost munitions maker Castelion." The Iran war has reduced America's munitions stockpiles, a problem exacerbated by the fact that some experts say they weren't prepared for the level of damage and losses they would sustain from Iranian drone warfare.Trump's administration has both tried to deny a shortage and blame former President Biden for it — sometimes in the same interview. According to the Washington Post, this crisis represents "a major test for the Trump administration, which has turbocharged its relationship with Silicon Valley and made collaboration with start-ups a core part of its weapons acquisition process."Jerry McGinn, the director of the Center for the Industrial Base at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told the Post he's skeptical Trump and the tech bros can pull off their plans. “It’s one thing to build … it’s another thing to then mass produce,” said McGinn. “Can they deliver?”
A dramatic reversal among a crucial voting bloc is emerging as the defining story of the 2026 midterm landscape, according to new polling analyzed by CNN's Harry Enten.In the fall of 2024, voters under 50 gave Kamala Harris only a narrow three-point edge over Donald Trump, but today, the president's net approval rating among that same group has collapsed to negative 41 points in CNN's polling average — a swing of roughly 38 points against the president. By contrast, voters 50 and older have moved against Trump by less than half that amount, a shift of under 15 points."How big is this shift?" Enten said. "Yeah, I mean, we are talking about an absolutely huge shift, a 180 – young voters are fed up and they're taking their anger out on President Trump."That shift is now bleeding into congressional races even though Trump himself isn't on the ballot. In the fall of 2024, Democrats led Republicans by four points among under-50 voters in generic House matchups. That lead has since more than quadrupled to 17 points. Among voters 50 and older, the picture is essentially unchanged, with Republicans holding a six-point edge, down only slightly from an eight-point lead.The trend looks even starker among the most motivated voters, a group pollsters watch closely given midterms' historically lower turnout. Democrats held just a two-point lead among extremely motivated under-50 voters in 2024. That lead has since ballooned to 46 points, a shift Enten described as the kind of swing that produces genuine wave elections."That's wild," said CNN's Kate Bolduan."This is wild," Enten agreed. "This is a wild shift – taking the words right out of my mouth. We're talking about a 44-point shift amongst those who are extremely motivated to turn out and vote." - YouTube youtu.be
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is entertaining the possibility of cash reparations for slavery, calling the city “very complicit” in the institution that was outlawed in the state nearly 200 years ago.During a sit-down discussion with the Root released Tuesday, journalist Charles Blow questioned Mamdani, a democratic socialist, about the city’s reparations efforts, including the work of NYC CORE, the Commission on Racial Equity, which was established by local law in 2024 to study reparations in the city and develop a “truth, healing, and reconciliation process.”'This is also what it looks like to acknowledge what history truly was.'Blow asked Mamdani about a written statement about reparations the mayor submitted while running for mayor. The statement read in part, “New York City participated actively in the slave trade and furthered its legacy through racist institutions, policies, and laws. The city should reconcile and repair this legacy of slavery, stolen wealth, and discrimination.”Further noting that Mamdani had said he was proud to support the new reparations commission examining Wall Street’s complicity in the slave trade, Blow then asked, “If a commission studying reparations in this city recommended cash reparations for people impacted in New York City, would you support that recommendation?”"First, I want to say that I stand by what I submitted,” Mamdani responded. “Here in New York City, we were very complicit.”The mayor continued, “I can't give you an answer in advance of them, but I can tell you that this is critically important because this is also what it looks like to acknowledge what history truly was.”For reference, New York state fully emancipated all enslaved persons within its borders on July 4, 1827, making it the first state in the country to pass a law for the total abolition of slavery. NYC CORE is expected to release its final report on reparations in July 2027. The commission’s website states that its work will “offer New Yorkers ways to address the history of enslaved African labor in NYC and the killing of indigenous people, with the testimony of current and past harms suffered by communities due to racism.”RELATED: Immigrant business owners revolt against Mamdani's 'Soviet'-style grocery plan Linda Tigani, the chair and executive director of NYC CORE, told Fox News Digital in a statement, "We would like to thank the mayor for using his platform to acknowledge New York City's complicit history in chattel slavery. New York was home to the second-largest slaveholding population in America, after Charleston, South Carolina. The first commodities traded on Wall Street included the buying and selling of enslaved black people, and their brutal forced unpaid labor built one of the most powerful economic engines in the world.""We must repay the longstanding debt owed and truly tackle the racial wealth gap in New York City, which is directly correlated to the stain of slavery in New York City,” the statement continued.However, if New York City decides to move forward with a reparations program, the federal government could stand in its way. This year, the Department of Justice has attempted to block a Chicago suburb's local housing reparations program designed for black residents who suffered from housing discrimination between 1919 and 1969 — a first of its kind. The DOJ argues that the program violates the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause and the Fair Housing Act. Like Blaze News?
