• House Ready to Vote on Mammoth Military Bill: Starting Line (bgov.com) — Residents may be interested to know President Trump held a campaign-style economic rally in Mount Pocono, using the visit to promote his tariff policies to Pennsylvania voters. The broader piece explains a massive $900 billion defense bill, ongoing fights over Obamacare subsidies, and Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions that could affect jobs, inflation, and the wider economy. 
• Trump compares real wages under his admin versus Biden's during speech calling out Dem affordability ‘hoax' (foxwilmington.com) — Residents just saw national politics land right in Mount Pocono, where President Donald Trump spent nearly two hours at Mount Airy Casino Resort arguing his administration has lowered prices and raised wages compared with Joe Biden’s term. He focused heavily on affordability, gas and grocery costs, and real wages for workers, while sharply criticizing Democrats’ economic message ahead of the midterms.
