Trump’s tariffs, war with Iran, and other policy choices continue to harm working Americans and drive up prices. As Aya Ibrahim said: “50-75% of the increase in inflation over the Federal Reserve’s target is a result of the tariffs.”

Memorial Day is the start of summer, but this year Trump’s war with Iran has raised prices and made travel too costly for families. Labor Day likely won’t be any better. As Kate Gordon said: “We don’t see any price relief, even if magically tomorrow we were to see the Strait open.”
Americans are facing a “war tax” from Trump’s war with Iran — and not just at the gas pump. @hboushey.bsky.social says fuel surcharges on flights, shipping, and deliveries are spreading through the economy, pushing prices on nearly everything higher and further squeezing families’ budgets.
@dohamekki.bsky.social joined @katiephang.bsky.social to break down the Trump administration’s weak settlement with Live Nation-Ticketmaster, which fails to break up the monopoly power and does little to protect fans from being price gouged with exorbitant fees. ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8tN...
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.
Gas prices tend to rise like a rocket and fall like a feather. @mnegron01.bsky.social says given the infrastructure damage to oil refineries and storage, fuel and food supply chains will be slow to recover, keeping prices for families and businesses elevated into 2027.
Families have overpaid for everyday goods because of Trump’s tariffs for over a year. Instead of doubling down & inflicting more harm, the administration should give consumers their money back & pursue a trade agenda that actually benefits American workers & businesses. @alexsjacquez.bsky.social
Sameera Fazili on @foxla.bsky.social: Trump’s war with Iran is driving up oil prices, and Republicans’ rollback of investments in affordable clean energy is making it worse. Families are paying more for utilities, and high gas prices are set to wipe out any tax refunds they might have received.
As families across the country face high electricity costs, credit card debt, and rising prices for basic goods, the conflict in Iran continues to affect household budgets. Economics expert Alfredo Romero breaks it down.
The latest jobs report shows a stalling labor market. Wage growth is slowing at the same time that costs are rising. Liz Pancotti warns the conflict in Iran on top of Trump's tariffs — which have already cost families $1,700 — will keep pushing prices higher & squeeze family budgets.
The Fed's decisions impact whether families can afford a home or a car — and whether workers can find a job. @alexsjacquez.bsky.social warns Kevin Warsh’s history of bailing out big banks and refusal to disclose his investments suggest he’ll prioritize the interests of Wall Street over Main Street.
ICYMI: Republicans BLOCKED my bill to fund TSA. Republicans are punishing travelers and forcing TSA agents to work without pay because they want to cut another blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. It's shameful.

Alucard's Nightmare. It's likely just the prototype nature combined possibly with the emulation but the sound in the background and the herky-jerky animation gives it a creepy vibe.

You can build visuals to turn heads. Or you can build them to explain complex ideas. Damar Aji Pramudita does the latter beautifully in his tutorial, where he breaks down how he turned dithering into a visual experience with Three.js, instancing, and custom shaders: tympanus.net/codrops/2026...

Jon Husted doesn’t get it. He just cast his seventh vote to keep the war in Iran going. Grocery, gas, and diesel prices across Ohio keep rising – but seven times in a row Jon Husted has voted to make life more expensive for Ohio families.

Anytime you want to make it harder to vote that means you can't stand and win with your policy.
Unfortunately, he’s just one of way too many. Trump has made America fertile for this hateful and disgusting behavior to grow and flourish. They feel empowered. This should be sent to as many media outlets as possible.
No, Trump won't invade Greenland. But he may destroy the world order trying to get it.
Donald Trump promised to lower costs and make America more affordable on Day One... HE LIED and now you're paying for it.
