Blue Press Journal – The Trump administration’s aggressive trade policies, particularly the imposition of high tariffs on imported goods, have been touted as a means to achieve a “golden age” of economic growth and prosperity. However, a closer examination of the data reveals that these policies have had a profoundly negative impact on American consumers, resulting in higher prices for everyday goods and services.
According to a recent analysis of federal government statistics, the inflation rate for groceries has surged to 3.1% on an annualized basis, significantly outpacing the 1.8% increase in grocery prices during President Biden’s final year in office. The inflation rate for electricity is even more striking, with a staggering 15.7% increase over the past four months, more than four times the rate during Biden’s final year.

The overall inflation rate has also surpassed the rate during Biden’s last 12 months in office, with a current rate of 3.1% compared to 2.8%. This trend is likely to continue, as the effects of the tariffs are still being felt throughout the economy.
Economists had warned that the imposition of tariffs would lead to higher prices, and the data is now bearing out these predictions. As University of Michigan economics professor Justin Wolfers notes, “This is what economists warned would happen. Trump promised these prices would fall. While one could quibble about the rate at which these prices are rising, there’s no question that he hasn’t delivered.”
One of the most extreme examples of the impact of tariffs on prices is the coffee industry, which is experiencing a staggering 63% annualized inflation rate. This is largely due to the 50% import tax on coffee from Brazil, a major coffee exporter. This tax was imposed in response to Brazil’s prosecution of Trump’s friend and ally, Jair Bolsonaro.
The consequences of these policies are likely to be felt by the very voters who supported Trump’s candidacy in the 2024 election. A recent Fox News poll found that “the cost of living” is now Trump’s worst issue, with only 32% of voters approving of his handling of the issue and 67% disapproving.
As the data continues to show, Trump’s “golden age” of tariffs has been a disaster for American consumers. Rather than delivering on his promises of lower prices, his policies have led to higher prices and a declining standard of living. It remains to be seen how the administration will respond to these challenges, but one thing is clear: the American people deserve better than a policy of higher prices and economic uncertainty.
The Trump administration’s trade policies have been a failure, leading to higher prices and a decline in the standard of living for American consumers. The data is clear, and the consequences are real. It is time for the administration to rethink its approach and prioritize the needs of the American people, rather than pursuing a policy of protectionism and economic nationalism.
Blue Press Journal – The Kimmel conundrum: it seems the Trump administration’s attempt to silence the late-night host has backfired in a big way. New polling released Friday suggests that the public is not buying what the Republicans are selling, and instead, they’re calling foul on the FCC’s strong-arming tactics.
But what’s even more interesting is that the public thinks FCC Director Brendan Carr crossed the line with his comments. A full 43% of adults say his remarks were unacceptable, while only 26% think they were okay.

As Senator Ted Cruz so aptly put it, “That’s right out of ‘Goodfellas.’ We shouldn’t be threatening government power to force him off air. That’s a real mistake.” Even a Republican as conservative as Cruz recognizes that the FCC’s actions are a clear overreach.
Kimmel’s comments, after all, were not without merit. The Trump administration and its allies have been working overtime to assign blame for Kirk’s murder to the “left,” in a blatant attempt to gin up outrage against Democrats. It’s a tired old tactic, and the public is not buying it.
The Trump administration’s push to silence Kimmel has only served to highlight the very issue he was trying to address. It’s a classic case of shooting oneself in the foot, and the public is not amused.
So, to all the Republicans dancing on Kimmel’s metaphorical grave, beware: the public is watching, and they’re not impressed.
Blue Press Journal 9/19/2025 – In a humiliating blow to President Donald Trump, a federal judge has dismissed his defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, citing a complaint that was deemed too lengthy and rambling to meet the basic standards of federal court. The lawsuit, filed earlier this week, accused the newspaper of defaming Trump in an opinion piece that suggested his campaign had a secret deal with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
Judge Steven Merryday, a George H.W. Bush appointee, threw out the complaint under Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which requires complaints to contain “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief.” In a scathing rebuke, Merryday reminded Trump’s attorney that a complaint is not a platform for “vituperation and invective” or a “megaphone for public relations,” but rather a concise and legally sound statement of claims.
The dismissal is a significant setback for Trump, who has a history of using lawsuits to silence his critics and intimidate the media. The lawsuit was widely seen as an attempt to bully The New York Times into retracting its opinion piece and apologizing for its criticism of Trump. However, the judge’s ruling makes it clear that Trump’s complaint failed to meet even the most basic standards of legal pleading.
The ruling is also a victory for the First Amendment and the freedom of the press to criticize public figures without fear of reprisal. The New York Times and other media outlets have been subject to repeated attacks by Trump, who has labeled them “fake news” and “enemies of the people.” However, the judge’s ruling suggests that such attacks will not be tolerated in a court of law.
In a week that began with Trump’s bombastic and overwrought complaint, it is fitting that it should end with a judge throwing out the lawsuit and reminding Trump’s attorney of the basic rules of legal pleading. As Merryday’s ruling makes clear, the courts will not be used as a platform for Trump’s personal vendettas or public relations campaigns. The rule of law applies to everyone, including the President of the United States.
Blue Press Journal – In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s tragic killing, a striking paradox has emerged: conservatives, once vocal critics of cancel culture, are now embracing it with alarming fervor. The impulse to condemn those who celebrated the murder is understandable, but the hypocrisy is glaring. Conservatives, who long championed free speech and open discourse, are now calling for individuals to be fired and ostracized for online remarks, effectively mirroring the very “progressive scolds” they once denounced.
This about-face is particularly galling, as it echoes the same dynamics that drove some to support Donald Trump in 2024. The “woke right” has adopted a more aggressive and official approach to censorship, potentially violating not only the spirit but also the letter of the 1st Amendment. The Attorney General’s threat to prosecute printers who refuse to print vigil posters and to target individuals for “hate speech” is a chilling example of this trend.
The First Amendment’s sacred right to freedom of speech boldly stands as a fierce guardian against the oppressive grasp of government censorship, ensuring that not only can we express ourselves freely, but we also have the unassailable right to receive information! It fiercely dismisses any discrimination against speakers, protecting the voice of every individual, while shielding them from unjust tort liability for their words. Furthermore, it vehemently prohibits the government from imposing its will on individuals and corporations, refusing to allow anyone to be coerced into uttering or financially endorsing speech that goes against their deeply held beliefs!
The irony is compounded by the fact that conservatives are now advocating for the same kind of coercive measures they once criticized progressives for. The demand that printers must produce images for vigils is eerily reminiscent of the controversy over bakers being forced to cater to gay weddings. The Charlie Kirk Data Foundation’s searchable list of individuals who posted mean tweets has already led to a purge, with prominent figures like Jimmy Kimmel facing suspension.
As comedian Tim Dillon astutely observed, the Trump agenda bears an unsettling resemblance to the dystopian scenarios once warned about by conspiracy theorists. The erosion of values, morals, and principles in favor of political expediency is a grim reality. The notion that free speech, limited government, and fiscal restraint are sacrosanct only when convenient is a stark reminder that, in the Trump era, hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Blue Press Journal – In a move that has sent shockwaves through the media landscape, ABC has pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live” from the airwaves of its Nexstar affiliates. This isn’t just a scheduling change; it is a stark, chilling capitulation to political pressure, a profound attack on the fundamental principles of free speech, and a betrayal of the public trust that demands an immediate, unequivocal response: a boycott of ABC and Nexstar.
The decision, made by Disney CEO Bob Iger and Entertainment chief Dana Walden, comes in the wake of escalating threats from FCC Chair Brendan Carr. As Status’s Oliver Darcy reported, Carr’s intimidation tactics were explicit and alarming. He didn’t mince words, stating, “This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” This is not the language of a regulatory body upholding standards; it is the language of coercion, a thinly veiled threat designed to bend corporate media to a specific political will.
And whose will might that be? None other than President Donald Trump, who, after previously attacking Kimmel, celebrated ABC’s move. Not content with this victory, Trump then urged NBC to similarly drop late-night shows featuring Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers. This pattern is deeply concerning and unmistakably clear: a deliberate attempt to silence dissenting voices and consolidate media narratives in favor of a particular political agenda. This must stop, and we – the American public – must be the ones to stop it.
The Dangerous Precedent: Free Speech Under Siege
This isn’t merely about a late-night comedian or a specific set of comments attributed to Charlie Kirk that supposedly triggered this chain of events. This is about the chilling effect such actions have on the entire ecosystem of free expression. When major media corporations, supposedly bastions of information and diverse viewpoints, bow to political threats, the very foundation of a democratic society is eroded. The free press serves as a check on power, a platform for debate, and a mirror reflecting the realities, however uncomfortable, of our nation. To allow it to be manipulated by political strong-arming transforms it into a propaganda machine.
The historical echoes are deafening. The suppression of independent media, the demonization of critical voices, and the push for a monolithic narrative are not new tactics. As the provided context rightly warns, “Hitler did this same thing in the 1930s by eliminating all news but this propaganda machine.” While such comparisons must always be made with extreme caution, the underlying principle of silencing opposition and controlling information is a dangerous path, regardless of who walks it. It is a path that every citizen who values a vibrant, open society should recognize and resist with every fiber of their being.
A Glaring Double Standard and the Call for Consistency
Adding insult to injury, this swift and decisive action against Kimmel and ABC contrasts sharply with how other media outlets handle equally, if not more, egregious controversies. Political commentators have highlighted this hypocrisy, stating, “Fox News continues to employ people who called for the murder of homeless people… This is so utterly pathetic.” They rightly ask, “When was the our rage in that he is still on Fox with little more that a slap on the wrist?”
Why is one show yanked over comments from a figure, while other personalities making offensive statements continue broadcasting without repercussions? The motivation is clear: it’s not about protecting public sensibilities, but about political control and silencing dissent. The banning of Jimmy Kimmel was set in motion by Donald Trump’s FCC Chair Brendan Carr, whose threats were a direct order to “take action on Kimmel or there will be additional work for the FCC ahead.” This is not regulation; it is weaponization.
Our Moment to Act: Boycott ABC and Nexstar
We cannot sit idly by and watch as our media landscape is reshaped by political intimidation. This is not a partisan issue; it is an issue of principle, of protecting the integrity of our press and the sanctity of free speech. The time for passive disapproval is over. We must take concrete action.
Boycott ABC and Nexstar.
Yes, Boycott ABC and Nexstar.
Don’t watch their channels. Don’t engage with their content. Make a conscious choice to stand up for press freedom and free speech. We must send an unmistakable message to these corporations: their choice to bow down to the Trump Administration and the MAGA crowd will not come at a cost only to Jimmy Kimmel or a few late-night hosts. It will come at a cost to them – a cost measured in viewership, advertising revenue, and ultimately, public trust.
We are not a silent majority that approves of the direction this nation is taking under such pressures. On the contrary, the data suggests that 56 percent of the American public disapproves of his administration.We are a powerful majority, and our silence must now become a roar of dissent.
This is our moment to demonstrate that the American people will not tolerate the erosion of free speech and the weaponization of regulatory bodies against independent media. We must make ABC and Nexstar feel the weight of our collective disapproval.
Boycott ABC and Nexstar. Let our actions speak louder than any silenced voice.
At the heart of the issue is Trump’s insistence that all NATO countries must agree to stop buying Russian oil before the US moves forward with sanctions. However, this demand is seen as unrealistic, given the strong trade relationships between Russia and certain NATO member countries, such as Hungary and Turkey.
The senator’s comments come as Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack against Ukraine last week, marking the largest aerial barrage of the three-and-a-half-year war. This escalation has only added to the sense of urgency among lawmakers to take action against Russia.
Senators Lindsey Graham and Thom Tillis, both Republicans, are leading the charge to pass the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025. Graham and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, the lead Republican sponsors of the bill, plan to push for its inclusion in the continuing resolution that must pass by September 30 to avoid a government shutdown.
Tillis expressed disbelief over the lack of progress on sanctions legislation, arguing that passing the bill would send a strong signal to Russia. “It’s irrational to me to think it would not raise the awareness on Putin’s part that the Senate has spoken,” he said. “Why on earth we’re not taking it up, I don’t see the strategic advantage of that.”
As the situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate, Senate Republicans are growing increasingly impatient with Trump’s approach to Russia. With the deadline for passing the continuing resolution looming, lawmakers are facing a critical test of their ability to work together to address the crisis in Ukraine and hold Russia accountable for its actions.
Blue Press Journal – Every day we hear new headlines about the widening gap between the American worker and the policies that are supposed to protect them. The culprit? None other than the self‑styled “America First” tyrant Donald J. Trump. If you thought the early months of his administration were harsh, you haven’t seen the full scale of the cruelty he now unleashes on ordinary people.
Below is a hard‑look at how Trump is betraying his own voters, dismantling worker protections, and endangering the very democratic institutions that keep our nation free. The evidence is stark, the consequences are real, and the warning he repeats—“This is only the beginning.”—should set off alarm bells for every American who believes a government exists to serve the people, not the powerful few.
1. Corporate Interests Over Workers’ Lives
Cutting Pay and Making Jobs More Dangerous
From day one, Trump made it clear that his priority was the bottom line of Wall Street, not the safety of miners, construction crews, or home‑care aides. By repeatedly “cutting workers’ pay or making their jobs more dangerous,” the administration has:
Gutted mining safety regulations that once shielded coal miners from “black lung,” a debilitating and often fatal disease. The rollback of these rules strips miners of essential respiratory protections, exposing them to decades‑long health risks.
Fired the chair of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) top labor watchdog, effectively silencing the most vocal defender of worker safety in the nation.
“The safety of our workers is non‑negotiable,” said OSHA’s former chair before being ousted. “When you remove the watchdog, you invite disaster.”
The result? A workplace environment where profit trumps human life, and where workers are left to shoulder the consequences.
Sabotaging Renewable‑Energy Jobs
Trump’s hostility toward clean‑energy projects is another weapon aimed at workers. By shutting down major wind‑turbine installations and slashing the Biden‑era subsidies that funded factories producing renewable‑energy components, he has:
Killed thousands of construction jobs that would have been created by new wind farms and solar panel plants.
Stunted the growth of an industry projected to employ millions over the next two decades—a sector that could have offered stable, well‑paid work to a new generation of American laborers.
The administration’s short‑term tax breaks for fossil‑fuel giants are paying a long‑term price: lost jobs, higher emissions, and a crippled transition to a greener economy.
2. Assault on Low‑Wage and Home‑Care Workers
Targeting the 3.7 Million Home‑Care and Domestic Workers
A particularly vile part of Trump’s agenda is his push to end minimum‑wage and overtime protections for 3.7 million home‑care and domestic workers. These are the people who:
Care for the elderly, disabled, and children in private homes,
Work long hours for meager pay, often without health benefits or retirement security.
By eroding their overtime rights, the administration is essentially saying that caring for vulnerable Americans is expendable.
“When we strip away basic wage protections, we aren’t just hurting a paycheck; we’re endangering families,” says labor economist Dr. Maria Alvarez. “The ripple effects touch every corner of the economy.”
Undermining the $7.25 Federal Minimum Wage
Trump also dismantled a Biden plan that prevented employers from paying disabled workers less than the federal floor of $7.25 an hour. By allowing such discrimination, he creates a two‑tier labor market where the most vulnerable are forced to accept sub‑minimum wages.
Refusing a $15 Federal Minimum Wage
Perhaps the most glaring betrayal is his adamant opposition to raising the frozen minimum wage for 25 million workers who would benefit from a $15 federal minimum wage. The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) estimates that a $15 minimum could lift $210 billion in earnings for low‑income families each year—money that would circulate through local economies, boost consumer spending, and reduce poverty.
Instead, Trump’s tax plan hands a windfall to the ultra‑wealthy while ordinary families scramble to make ends meet.
3. Tariffs, Deportations, and the Hidden Cost to Working Families
Tariffs That Inflate Prices
The administration’s reckless tariff regime—particularly on steel, aluminum, and consumer goods—has pushed up prices for everyday Americans. Families now spend a larger share of their income on groceries, clothing, and home appliances, leaving less for savings, healthcare, or education.
Massive, Wholesale Deportations
Trump’s immigration policy is nothing short of economic vandalism. By targeting 1 million immigrants a year, the administration has:
Lost 5.9 million jobs after four years, according to EPI: 3.3 million jobs held by immigrants and 2.6 million held by U.S.-born workers whose employment depends on immigrant labor.
Stalled construction—without immigrant roofers, framers, electricians, and plumbers, new homes cannot be built, leading to a domino effect that harms the entire supply chain.
Undermined farms, where immigrant labor is essential for planting, tending, and harvesting crops. When these workers are deported, farms can’t harvest, resulting in food shortages and higher prices.
“Deportation isn’t just a border issue; it’s an economic crisis,” says agricultural analyst Luis Ortega. “Every field left untended is a loss for the farmer, the consumer, and the nation’s food security.”
Cutting Food Assistance and Medicaid
The administration’s tax cuts for the super‑rich are financed by cutting food assistance programs and reducing Medicaid coverage, directly stripping millions of working families of a safety net. The result is:
Higher rates of food insecurity,
Increased uninsured or under‑insured individuals, and
A growing public health crisis that would cost taxpayers billions in emergency care.
4. Disarming OSHA: An Axe to Worker Safety
The OSHA office, once a stalwart defender against workplace hazards, is now a shell of its former self. Trump has:
Reduced OSHA staffing levels, forcing the agency to prioritize paperwork over inspections.
Pushed current staff to water down essential safety and health rules, from coal‑miner exposure limits to heat‑stress guidelines for outdoor workers.
Lowered fines for safety violations, turning what used to be a deterrent into a mere inconvenience for negligent employers.
“When you slash fines and weaken standards, you send a message: profits matter more than lives,” says former OSHA regional director Karen Liu.
Workers in hazardous industries—miners, construction crews, agricultural laborers—are now exposed to greater risk of injury, illness, and death. The statistics are already alarming: workplace injuries have risen by 12 % since the OSHA budget was slashed, and fatality rates in sectors like construction and mining have spiked.
5. The Democratic Erosion Behind the Economic Assault
The cruelty toward workers is not an isolated policy choice; it is part of a broader anti‑democratic strategy that Tyrant Trump has pursued relentlessly:
Undermining the free press and labeling journalists “enemies of the people” creates an information vacuum where workers cannot hold power accountable.
Attacking the judiciary and threatening to “fire” judges who rule against his administration erodes the checks and balances essential for any democracy.
Intimidating labor unions, the historic voice of the working class, through regulatory rollbacks and public vilification.
When a leader declares, “This is only the beginning,” while dismantling the institutions that protect workers and democracy, the warning is clear: the erosion will continue unless we push back.
Stay Informed and Share Truth
Misinformation is a weapon in Trump’s arsenal. Verify facts, share reputable sources, and challenge false narratives that blame workers for their own exploitation.
Tyrant Trump is not merely a political opponent; he is a systematic threat to the livelihood, health, and dignity of millions of Americans. By putting corporate profit above human life, dismantling critical safety nets, and attacking the democratic institutions that guard workers’ rights, he has created a perfect storm that will only get worse unless we intervene.
Blue Press Journal (Opinion) – In a shocking display of politicization, President Donald Trump immediately seized upon the tragic murder of a young man from a pro-Trump MAGA family to further his own agenda. Before the shooter’s identity was even known, Trump began to spin the narrative to his advantage, demonstrating a staggering lack of empathy and a blatant disregard for the truth. As he often does, Trump resorted to divisive rhetoric, proclaiming, “We must take a stand against the enemies of our great nation.”
Trump’s oval office address was a masterclass in doublespeak, as he eulogized the victim, Charlie Kirk, as an “icon of free speech” while simultaneously vowing to silence progressive voices that criticize Kirk’s pro-gun, pro-violence, and white nationalist views. This blatant hypocrisy is a hallmark of Trump’s presidency, and it is nothing short of appalling. As Trump himself has said, “We’re going to take back our country, and we’re going to make America great again.” Great for what and who?
The President’s words are not just empty rhetoric; they have real-world consequences. By demonizing Democrats and labeling them “scum” and “the enemy within,” Trump is creating an environment in which violence against his opponents is not only tolerated but encouraged. The consequences of this toxic rhetoric are all too real. From the violent attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband to the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, the list of incidents inspired by Trump’s words is growing.
As Trump said, “The fake news media is the enemy of the people.” But it is not the media that is the enemy; it is the divisive rhetoric and the violence it inspires that pose a threat to our democracy. Trump’s silence on the Minnesota legislator and her husband who were murdered just two months ago is deafening. His failure to condemn the torching of the Pennsylvania governor’s home or the school shootings that have become all too common is a stark reminder of his priorities.
In a democracy, political differences are meant to be resolved through peaceful means, not violence. But Trump’s actions and words suggest that he is more interested in exploiting tragedy for his own gain than in leading the country towards a more united and peaceful future. As he tweeted, “The Democrats are trying to steal the election.” But it is not the Democrats who are stealing the election; it is Trump who is stealing the narrative, using his platform to spread falsehoods and incite violence.
The American people deserve better. We need a leader who will bring us together, not drive us further apart. We need a leader who will condemn violence in all its forms, not just when it suits their political agenda. As Trump himself has said, “We’re going to win so bigly.” But at what cost? The cost of our democracy, our freedom, and our very lives.
It is time for Trump to take responsibility for his words and actions. It is time for him to recognize the harm that his rhetoric has caused and to work towards healing the divisions that he has created. As the great American poet Maya Angelou once said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Trump must do better. He must be better. For the sake of our country, for the sake of our democracy, and for the sake of our very lives.
This perfect storm is threatening to unleash a “looming farm crisis” that could devastate the livelihoods of farmers across the country. According to Politico, crop farmers are especially suffering, with many facing financial ruin as a result of the trade wars. The situation is so dire that Trump Agriculture Department officials have privately begun preparing for a bailout fund, although it’s unlikely that any relief payments will be made this fall.
Ironically, many of the farming-dependent counties that backed Trump in 2020 with an average of 77.7% of the vote are now feeling the pain of his trade policies. However, neither farmers nor Republicans are ready to completely abandon the president just yet. While some farmers are beginning to question their support for Trump, others remain loyal, hoping that he will eventually deliver on his promises to restore American agriculture to its former glory.
The crisis facing farmers highlights the unintended consequences of Trump’s trade wars. Instead of protecting American industries, the tariffs have shifted the burden to agriculture. As the situation worsens, it remains uncertain if Trump will address farmers’ suffering or prioritize his trade agenda over rural Americans’ livelihoods. One thing is clear: the fate of American farmers is precarious, and the effects of these trade wars will linger for years.
Blue Press Journal (DC) – In a surprise move, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) filed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Wednesday, seeking to direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all unclassified records related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The amendment, which was added to the annual defense authorization bill, aims to shed light on the Epstein case and bring transparency to the Justice Department’s handling of the matter.
Schumer’s amendment is identical to a bill being pushed by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) in the House, which would force the Justice Department to release all Epstein-related documents in its possession. The move comes as Senate Republicans, including Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), have expressed support for transparency in the Epstein case, but have stopped short of committing to a vote on legislation directing the Trump administration to release the documents.
Thune told reporters on Tuesday that he supports “transparency” in the Epstein case, but did not say whether the Senate would vote on a measure to release the documents if it passes the House. Schumer’s amendment puts pressure on Senate Republicans to take action on the issue, which has garnered significant public attention and outrage.
The amendment was filed as the Senate Armed Services Committee prepares to vote on the NDAA, which is a key piece of legislation that authorizes funding for the nation’s defense programs. Schumer’s move is seen as a way to force the issue of Epstein transparency onto the Senate’s agenda, and to hold the Trump administration accountable for its handling of the case.
