Day 1786: During Trump’s first stop on his “affordability” tour in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, he claimed he’s "crushing it" on inflation and delivering “lower prices” and “bigger paychecks”; U.S. farmers say Trump’s new $12 billion aid package falls short of their projected $35 billion to $44 billion in losses on major crops; the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point to a range of 3.5 to 3.75%, the third reduction this year; the House passed a $900 billion defense bill that eliminates Pentagon diversity, equity and inclusion offices, cuts $1.6 billion in climate programs, and writes several of Trump’s executive orders into law; the U.S. seized a sanctioned oil tanker loaded with Venezuelan crude off the country’s coast; a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to end its deployment of California National Guard troops in Los Angeles; the Department of Homeland Security will buy six Boeing 737 jets to build its own deportation fleet for ICE for roughly $140 million; the Trump administration plans to require tourists from 42 countries to disclose five years of social media history before entering the U.S.; a third federal judge ordered the release of grand jury transcripts and other investigative records from Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 federal sex trafficking case; Democrats won Miami’s mayoral runoff and flipped a Republican-held Georgia state House seat; and nearly half of Americans said they struggle to afford groceries, utilities, health care, housing, and transportation, and half said they find it difficult to pay for food.
