The Federal Reserve reduced its key interest rate for the third time in a row Wednesday but signaled that it may leave rates unchanged in the coming months, a move that could attract ire from President Donald Trump, who has demanded steep reductions to borrowing costs. In a set of quarterly economic projections, Fed officials signaled they expect to lower rates just once next year. Wednesday’s cut reduced the rate to about 3.6%, the lowest it has been in nearly three years. Lower rates from the Fed can bring down borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards over time, though market forces can also affect those rates.

A judge has ruled secret grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 sex trafficking case can be made public. The judge Wednesday joined two other judges in granting the Justice Department’s requests to unseal material from investigations into the late financier’s sexual abuse. U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman in New York reversed his earlier decision to keep the material under wraps, citing a new law that requires the government to open its files on Epstein and his longtime confidant Ghislaine Maxwell. The judge previously cautioned the 70 or so pages of grand jury materials slated for release are hardly revelatory. On Tuesday, another Manhattan federal judge ordered the release of records from Maxwell’s 2021 case.
Today, Josh breaks down President Trump’s campaign swing through Pennsylvania and why the economy remains the single biggest factor heading into the 2026 midterms. Josh makes it clear: The data may show lower inflation, but if Americans don’t feel it, the White House has a real problem. He lays out what the president must do to regain voter confidence and rebuild momentum on the economic front.
Josh then pivots to the stunning outcome in the Miami mayoral race, where a Democrat won for the first time in thirty years. He warns that these results—Miami, Tennessee, Virginia, New Jersey, and beyond—are screaming red alerts for the GOP, and Republicans need to wake up fast or risk losing far more in 2026.
This is a full-throttle political reality check the Right needs to hear.
President trump is back on the campaign trial ahead of the 2026 midterms. Trump is touting his economic successes to offset the Democrat's "Affordability Crisis" narrative.
Australia has become the first country to restrict social media use for children under 16. Under a new law, the government is requiring the 10 largest social media platforms to block users under the age of 16 or face fines of up to $33 million.
The move is part of a broader effort to protect minors from online harms, including cyberbullying and exposure to inappropriate content. Platforms now have a legal obligation to verify users’ ages and ensure compliance, with authorities warning that failure to do so could result in significant penalties.
A federal judge has permanently blocked Georgia’s new law banning hormone therapy for transgender inmates, ordering the state’s prison system to continue providing gender-affirming care.
The ruling cites the Eighth Amendment, saying the ban constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. Inmates already receiving hormone therapy must continue treatment, and those medically diagnosed with gender dysphoria are now allowed to begin therapy.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he is still weighing whether to release the full video of a deadly strike on an alleged drug boat.
He provided a classified briefing Tuesday to congressional leaders alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other top national security officials.
Lawmakers, including Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, are demanding the footage, calling the briefing “very unsatisfying.” Congress is threatening to withhold Hegseth’s travel funds unless the Pentagon provides the unedited video.
