Is the President of Mexico influenced by the cartels?
He said he sort of made up his mind after being presented with military options by the Pentagon. Now, he says he's open to negotiations with that country's leader, Nicolas Maduro, who, by all accounts, he wants out of power.
We may be having some discussions with Maduro, and we'll see how that turns out. They would like to talk.
As the president says that, America's biggest, most lethal aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald Ford, has officially arrived in the Caribbean. This brings the number of US troops in the region to around 12,000. President Trump is making no secret that he's ramping up military presence there, even with joint military drills with Trinidad and Tobago. But what remains quite unclear is exactly what the president's goals are for and with this buildup of force.
What military actions are being taken in the Caribbean?
Yesterday, the State Department announced that it's designating the Venezuelan gang Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization. The Trump administration also claims that organization is actually run by President Maduro himself. So what is the next move?
It's hard to see how the government shutdown and reopening is anything other than a defeat for the Democrats, a high-stakes confrontation that ended with their own goals unmet and their message muddled. If they didn't have the leverage or were not willing to use it to prolong the shutdown, then why did they stage it at all? The shutdown reinforced the image of the Democrats as feckless. They promised wonderful sounding new programs, free childcare, but in fact preside over bloated bureaucracies and inept execution. If America has an affordability crisis, It tends to be in places Democrats govern, like New York, Illinois and California, which all feature high taxes, soaring housing costs and stagnant outcomes in basic areas like education and infrastructure.
Consider New York City, the country's largest and most important metropolis. The mayor-elect wants to spend more money on shiny new programs. But surely it would be worth first asking, what happened to the money already raised? In 2012, toward the end of Michael Bloomberg's mayoralty, the city's budget was about $65 billion. Today, it is about $116 billion, an increase of more than 75 percent in just over a decade. Spending has soared, while the subway deteriorates, housing costs rise, and public schools remain mediocre, despite spending more than $36,000 per pupil last year, the highest in the nation among major school districts. The result is a paradox that defines much of blue state America. Government that promises more, costs more, but delivers less.
New York state mirrors the city. Its spending has risen from roughly $70 billion in 2000 to more than $230 billion today, about twice Florida's budget, even though Florida has several million more residents. When voters see that record, they conclude, not unreasonably, that more money is not the answer. Yet Democrats' instinctive response to every problem remains the same. Spend more.
The cost of living, Maria, is two parts. So we inherited this terrible inflation. We are flattening it out. I believe we're going to push it down. Energy prices are down. Interest rates are down. But the real thing that is going to happen, that is going to give Americans real purchasing power increases, it's going to be through growth. We passed the one big, beautiful bill. I am also the IRS commissioner, and I can see that working Americans, thanks to the president, living up to his campaign promises, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans. If you buy an American car, there are going to be substantial refunds in the first quarter of 26— Working Americans will change their withholding and they will get a bump up in their real incomes.
So I would expect in the first two quarters, we are going to see the inflation curve bend down and the real income curve substantially accelerate. And when those two lines cross, Americans are going to feel it. But, Maria, I will tell you what we're not going to do.
