## Resource

Inflation surged to 3.8% this week as rising energy prices tied to the Iran conflict continue squeezing American consumers. Meanwhile, Donald heads to China alongside billionaire CEOs for a summit with Xi Jinping focused on trade, tariffs, and escalating global tensions. This news brief also covers Donald’s bizarre South Lawn appearance with the Indiana Hoosiers, concerns after he repeatedly nodded off during an Oval Office MAHA meeting, Pete Hegseth facing questions over the growing costs of the Iran conflict and the administration’s proposed $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget, and new Epstein hearings underway in Palm Beach near Mar a Lago.
