US President Donald Trump is trying to reassure voters that the cost of living is improving, despite many Americans continuing to feel the pinch. At a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump claimed that consumer prices are falling 'tremendously' and that he has 'no higher priority than making America affordable again'. However, while gas and egg prices have decreased, other food prices remain high, and housing, childcare, and healthcare costs continue to be a burden. Democrats have capitalized on Trump's vulnerability on the economy, and many Republicans are uneasy about the upcoming midterm elections. Trump's approval rating has risen three points to 41% in a recent poll, but many Americans remain downbeat on the economy, citing job losses and rising grocery bills.

The article discusses the Trump administration's military actions against alleged drug smugglers from Venezuela and the reluctance of Congress to restrain the president's war powers. The administration has carried out 22 strikes on boats, killing over 80 people, and is amassing forces in the Caribbean to potentially topple Venezuela's dictator, Nicolás Maduro. The article argues that Congress is unlikely to effectively restrain the president due to the Constitution's allocation of war powers and the historical precedent of presidents taking unilateral action. The author suggests that broad, organized opposition from Congress would be required to restrain the president, but this is unlikely given the current partisan dynamics.
