President Trump on Jerome Powell: "I'd love to fire his ass. He should be fired. The only thing Scott [Bessent] is blowing it on is the Fed.”

NEW this AM: A new Marist poll has Democrats up 14 points on the generic congressional ballot ahead of the 2026 midterms.

A White Official tells @fwrdaxis.com that the Epstein Transparency Act will be signed by President Trump. “The bill will be signed whenever it gets to the White House,” the official said.

Leader Thune said he expects the Epstein files bill to move quickly through the Senate with Trump’s support. He added that it's likely to make it through without any amendments.

I've always admired Mary Bruce, and today is a perfect example of why. Asking the tough questions and pushing for the truth. President Trump can scream "fake news" all he wants, but the facts never lie. And Mary understands that.

A remarkable moment just now as President Trump says MBS knew nothing about Jamal Khashoggi's murder despite the facts from the CIA found that the crown prince ordered it.

On his reversal of now wanting the Epstein files released, President Trump now says he would sign the bill to release the files if it makes it to his desk. “We have nothing to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All his friends were Democrats," he says.

“We must keep the majority at all costs,” President Trump writes on Truth Social this morning. He sounds concerned.

With multiple Republicans set to break from President Trump and vote for the release of the Epstein files, Trump now says Republicans should vote to release them after previously pressuring House Republicans not to release them.

As he spoke with the press in West Palm Beach, President Trump used the nickname ‘Marjorie Traitor Greene’ when asked by reporters about rising threats against the congresswoman.

Aaron is spot on. Nobody goes to these lengths unless there’s something they really don’t want the public to see.

Trump, when asked why he needed to get an MRI, claims it is standard for physicals (it's not). "It's part of my physical," he said. "Getting an MRI is very standard. Do you think I shouldn't have it? The doctor said it was the best result he's ever seen as a doctor."

"I know nothing about that," President Trump says on AF1 when asked by reporters about Epstein bringing up his name in his personal emails. "They would have announced that a long time ago. What did he mean when he spent all the time with Bill Clinton?"

As he departed the White House for the weekend, President Trump did not take questions from reporters and hasn't since the Epstein story came out on Wednesday.

Amid affordability concerns, the White House announces a major rollback of food tariffs. "The President has thus determined that certain agricultural products shall no longer be subject to the reciprocal tariffs. Some of these products include: coffee and tea; tropical fruit,” the statement read.

The Trump administration is attempting to change its messaging on affordability amid growing frustration over the economy. As @fwrdaxis.com reported earlier this week, President Trump will travel to different states to deliver economy-focused speeches in an attempt to change the narrative.

In a series of Truth Social posts, President Trump attacks Democrats, calling the #EpsteinFiles their problems, not the Republicans. He also says he’s asked PamBondi to investigate Epstein’s ties to Bill Clinton.

Trump on healthcare concerns after the bill was signed to reopen the government: “I want the money to go directly to you. You’ll go out and buy your own health insurance and you’ll negotiate different plans… you will be an entrepreneur for yourself.”

It doesn’t matter how much President Trump or Karoline Leavitt don’t want to speak on affordability, the facts are simple: Prices are rising and Americans are feeling it.

Speaking on the Senate floor, @schumer.senate.gov says Democrats will vote to reopen the government in exchange for a one year extension to the ACA subsidies. Important note: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and Speaker Mike Johnson are opposed to a one year extension.

No one can believe it because it’s a lie

President Trump once again calls to terminate the filibuster: If the filibuster is terminated, we will have the most productive three years in the history of our country. If the filibuster is not terminated, then we will be in a slog with the Democrats.” Republicans do NOT support Trump on this.

"Affordability was a con job by the Democrats." Affordability is a real thing and Democrats are likely downloading this soundbite right now.

Trump: "If you look at affordability, which they campaigned on, they lied... Energy prices are down by 30, 35, 40%" Well, based on numbers from the EIA, that's just a lie.

"Prices are down under the Trump administration," President Trump says. Given the results of Tuesday's elections, the voters aren't buying this from the Trump White House. If they did, Republicans would have won those races.

Hungarian PM and strongman Viktor Orban has arrived for his meeting with President Trump. POTUS was asked if he would meet with Putin in Budapest. "There is always a chance," Trump answered.

The voters aren’t buying this. Tuesday night’s election results were proof of that.

Exactly this! Voters have said they don’t agree and showed him that on Tuesday

Trump on @pelosi.house.gov announcing her retirement when asked by Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich: “I think she's an evil woman. I'm glad she's retiring. I think she did the country a great service by retiring. I think she was a tremendous liability for the country.”

Colleagues and reporters at every level need to have each others back, especially in times like these. Jake is an incredible reporter and I’ll be subscribing to his work!

President Trump on Tuesday’s election results: “We’re at almost $2 for gasoline. We are the ones who've done a great job on affordability. And yet, we lost a couple of elections in Democrat areas. They weren’t very Democrat when I ran.”
