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.

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 Trump administration is proposing a $1.5 trillion budget for the Pentagon while Americans are paying more for gas, groceries, and health care. Liz Pancotti says the priorities are clear: bankrolling foreign wars at the expense of relief for families.

With firsthand policy experience, Alejandra Y. Castillo, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, explains what’s at stake as the immigration crackdown escalates.

Kevin Warsh has a record of opposing necessary rate cuts until they became politically convenient. His nomination raises concerns about whether Fed decisions will be influenced by the White House’s moods or economic data. @bharatramamurti.bsky.social on @ms.now with @anacabrera.bsky.social

@hboushey.bsky.social warns that Fed nominee Kevin Warsh’s shift from hawkish inflation views to echoing Trump’s calls to lower rates raises serious questions about Fed independence. Families and markets need leaders who follow the data, not political pressure.

The Trump administration inherited a better-functioning IRS with better customer service and faster refunds. In one year, it has been dramatically hollowed out. @asteephen.bsky.social warns taxpayers may face longer delays and more mistakes that will cost working families the most.

"We have never seen corporate profits to the degree we have over the past 4 years." — @kedseconomist.com At the same time, families are going without retirement plans, affordable health coverage, or paid leave, even as the cost of living keeps rising. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The Iran war is reshaping energy and trade — but Nevada's jobs report doesn't reflect it, according to Alejandra Y. Castillo, Former U.S. Asst. Secretary of Commerce, the 300K jobs headline leaves out the critical economic context.

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.
