Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

NBC: “But even as other costs fell, food prices climbed higher over the month. “4 of the 6 major grocery store food group indexes increased in June,” BLS said in its report. But core inflation..was unchanged ..a worrying sign of how sticky higher prices may be outside of energy prices themselves”

The war President Trump waged against Iran promises to conclude with the signing of a cease-fire agreement this week—leaving the United States diminished militarily, strategically, economically, and perhaps morally, Jonathan Lemire argues.

Inflation & gas prices just hit a 3-year high. Housing & healthcare have never been more expensive. …and Trump wants you to think we’re in an economic golden age?! Who are you going to believe—a career con man or your empty wallet?

For Trump and his friends: - A $1.8 billion slush fund, paid for by you. - A $1 billion ballroom, paid for by you. For you and other American taxpayers: - Millions kicked off health care. - Highest gas prices in 5 years. - Soaring costs for groceries and other necessities.

Trump on high gas prices: "This is peanuts. I appreciate everybody putting up with it for a little while. But I don't even think about. What I think about is you can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon."

Inflation hit 3.8% last month, the highest rate in three years. Gas prices alone rose 5.4% from March to April due to Trump's war on Iran. And the jump in grocery prices this past month was the highest in nearly four years. Wages are now officially lagging behind inflation. "New Golden Age."

President Trump says he’s not thinking about Americans’ finances "even a little bit" in Iran talks, as the “only thing” that matters is Iran “can’t have a nuclear weapon.”

Can you think of anything Trump has said about this war that has turned out to be true? • “War will end in two days” → still going • “Strait will be open” → instability continues • “Iran agreed to everything” → didn’t happen • “Prices will drop” → Americans paying more Nothing lines up.
