Trump’s war in Iran has made gas prices soar, so he’s trying to lower them with a gas tax holiday. But, as Rohit Chopra said, that won’t mean much: “Gas prices have shot up over $1.50, so that 18 cents is just a tiny fraction that is really chipping away at how much people are spending.”

Las mujeres latinas aportan 1,3 millones de dólares a la economía; sin embargo, ganan 54 centavos por cada dólar que gana un hombre blanco. Esta brecha se amplía con cada hijo. Lisette Orellana Engel, Dir. Política Económica de UnidosUS, explica por qué esto nos afecta a todos.
Trump’s war with Iran is hitting families and local communities hard. @katenrg.bsky.social says rising fuel and food costs make it harder for food banks to operate, even as more families turn to them for support.
Working harder should not mean living worse. Lissette Engel analyzes growing job insecurity, the abuse of delivery app drivers, and the lack of protection for temporary workers.
One sure way to get what you want from the Trump admin? Give his son a high-paying job. After Don Jr. joined one company as an “advisor,” the CFPB suddenly dropped their investigation. 🤔 Watch former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra call out the admin’s corruption.
DOGE cuts have left IRS staffing at a historic low, harming taxpayers who need help filing or rely on refunds to make ends meet. On WUSA, @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social says families should expect slower payments and plan ahead as higher costs from Trump's war with Iran squeeze their budgets.
"Consumers are really strapped. They're seeing prices rise for utilities, gasoline, food, and premiums for health care." Kitty Richards explains how the fallout from Trump's reckless policies and the GOP budget law is squeezing household budgets and stalling economic growth.
Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs across the economy. Even Mother’s Day is getting more expensive this year, with flower prices up 16%. @groundwork.bsky.social's Liz Pancotti says wages aren’t keeping up with prices, adding pressure to already-strained household budgets.
Trump’s illegal tariffs have cost Americans $175 billion and the Supreme Court left no clear path forward for refunds. "We’re closer to the beginning than the end," said @bharatramamurti.bsky.social, as Trump threatens new tariffs that will drive more uncertainty at a time when people need relief.
@mnegron01.bsky.social: Small businesses have faced higher costs for over a year due to Trump's reckless trade policies. Now, the administration is placing the burden on U.S. importers to get the refund they are owed, with smaller businesses and consumers unlikely to see a dime in refunds.
Data centers aren’t massive job creators. So communities must negotiate real benefits. @katenrg.bsky.social says strong agreements can require companies to cover infrastructure costs, invest in resilience, and strengthen the local tax base so families see lasting gains, not just higher bills.

Thomas Massie talking about how the billionaires used AI to defeat him. What he says about this is true. Each new generation is more tech savvy which is why recent grads are booing AI at commencement speeches. The GOP will be doing this to Democrats in the midterms and they're not prepared.

We’ll see if Israel truly owns Trump. Itamar Ben-Gvir just openly bragged that Israel won’t let Trump sign a 'bad deal' with Iran—effectively admitting they pull the strings. Meanwhile—Israel is massacring civilians in Lebanon to sabotage U.S. negotiations. Let's see if Trump bends the knee—AGAIN!🤦🏿♂️

The illegal war that Trump and Netanyahu started against Iran has been one disaster after the next. When you're digging yourself into a hole, the best way out is to stop digging.

„Pan předseda za SPD si prostě sám protiřečí. Tady jasně zaznělo, že to doteď řídili premiéři právě proto, aby se tomu zajistila ta vysoká pozornost. A když to fungovalo, tak nechápu, proč jste to rozvrtali. Ten váš problém je, že vy nemáte jediný argument […] [Original post on zpravobot.news]
