DESCRIPTION

President Donald Trump responds to questions about ongoing negotiations with Iran, rising gas prices, and the U.S. economy while escalating his political feud with Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the war of words between Trump and Pritzker highlights growing debates over affordability, public safety, immigration policies, and organized labor. Plus, we cover North Carolina's adoption of a major school choice tax credit program, Pennsylvania lawmakers targeting AI-generated "nudification" apps, Louisiana's stalled carbon capture legislation, and a federal investigation into safety concerns on Atlanta's MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) transit system ahead of the World Cup. Stay informed with the latest state and national policy news impacting taxpayers across America. #Trump #Pritzker #Illinois #Iran #Midterms #Politics #Economy #SchoolChoice #AI #Deepfake #Louisiana #CarbonCapture #Atlanta #MARTA #TheCenterSquare
