Donald Trump flew to Beijing for a lavish state dinner while telling Americans he doesn't think about their financial situation. Iran threatened to choke the Strait of Hormuz. Vladimir Putin test-fired a Sarmat nuclear ICBM and scheduled its combat deployment by year's end — while Washington offered him sanctions relief to pursue peace. The top one percent hit a 36-year wealth record; working-class wages didn't move. Trump Mobile charged $100 for a phone that might never ship. Jeffrey Epstein survivors testified steps from Mar-a-Lago and got the answer they always get: nothing. The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Tennessee erased its one Black-majority district. South Carolina almost did too. The FDA commissioner resigned over fruit-flavored vapes. A $1.2 trillion missile shield still has no specifications.
