Turning Point USA helped turn out millions of young people for Donald Trump in 2024. He promised them lower prices, an end to foreign wars, and generational change. He is not keeping any of his promises and they have noticed. At this year's annual America Fest gathering, a CNN reporter talked to attendees and got decidedly mixed messages. One thought Trump's energy policies will lower gas prices, his dismantling of the Department of Education will make college debt go away, and his cracking down on immigrants will create jobs and lower housing prices. It is true that "drill baby drill" may lower gas prices, but getting rid of the DoEd will not make college debt vanish. Arresting immigrants might make their jobs available, but the reason employers hire them is that many are willing to work for less than native-born workers. As to lowering housing prices, replacing cheap immigrant labor with much more expensive American labor is not going to achieve that result, to say the least.
President Donald Trump unveiled a new "Trump class" of Navy battleships Monday, describing them as a superior war fighting vessel to replace an "old and tired and obsolete" US fleet.
"They'll help maintain American military supremacy, revive the American ship building industry, and inspire fear in America's enemies all over the world," Trump said in revealing the new category of vessel from the library at Mar-a-Lago.
Flanked by renderings of the "Trump class" battleships at sea, Trump said he would take an active role in their design. The president made the announcement Monday afternoon in Florida with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also national security adviser.
The "Trump class" ships will form part of the new "Golden Fleet" that the president has ordered up for the Navy, meant to better counter China and other adversaries and to more closely adhere to Trump's aesthetic standard.
House Speaker Mike Johnson warned on Sunday that President Donald Trump could be impeached if Republicans lose the majority in the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.

Heading into a year with midterm elections, 18 percent of voters approve of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job, while 73 percent disapprove, which is a record low job approval rating for them, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released today.
In the latest blow to the US offshore wind industry, the Trump administration announced Monday it is suspending the federal leases for all large offshore wind projects currently under construction, citing unspecified national security risks.
It marks a major escalation in President Donald Trump's attacks against offshore wind, a form of energy he has long railed against. The suspension could impact billions of dollars of investment and stall nearly six gigawatts of new electricity set to come online in the next few years.

The hardworking American taxpayer bought FBI Director Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel a specially armored luxury BMW sports car for his personal use; Patel had also requested an upgraded jet costing between $90 million and $115 million.
Anti-trafficking advocates say the US Department of Justice's failure to spend nearly $90m appropriated by Congress is impeding law-enforcement investigations and exposing survivors to homelessness and the risk of deportation, jail time or re-exploitation. Read more
