Consumer sentiment just hit another record low as prices climb and paychecks fail to keep pace with inflation. But Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is telling Americans it’s a great time to take road trips, even as gas tops $4.50 a gallon and families feel the rising costs.

Americans are paying the price for Trump’s war with Iran, which is driving the fastest gas price spike in years. @mnegron01.bsky.social breaks down how Trump is locking in years of higher costs for fuel and travel instead of lowering costs Americans care about most.
The IRS is going into this tax season vastly unprepared. On ABC News Live, @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social warned that with fewer IRS staff focused on fraud prevention and complicated new tax provisions in place, taxpayers should file early to avoid delays and protect their refunds.
Even if the war ended tomorrow, the price hikes wouldn’t. @bharatramamurti.bsky.social explains how oil shocks impact supply chains and take months to work through the economy — meaning Trump’s war with Iran will keep driving up costs for American families well into the summer.
Kevin Warsh’s shift from hawkish inflation views to echoing Trump’s calls to lower rates is worrying for anyone concerned about rising prices. Liz Pancotti joined @macfarlanenews.bsky.social of @meidastouch.com to discuss what this nomination could mean for the economy, workers, & families' budgets.
"The volatility is head-spinning." Americans want lower prices, but Trump’s policies are driving them higher at every turn. Gene Sperling explains how markets aren’t reflecting what families and small businesses are facing — slowing wage growth, mounting debt, and rising prices.
The Trump administration has spent months spinning bad economic data as a “hoax.” Meanwhile, more and more Americans are struggling to keep up with skyrocketing utility bills, grocery prices, and health insurance premiums. @scrippsnews.bsky.social
On MS Now, @alexsjacquez.bsky.social warns the oil price spike from Trump’s war with Iran will ripple through the economy — causing gas prices, airfare, and food costs to rise at a time when job losses and slowing growth are already raising recession fears.
Just one week into the war with Iran, Alejandra Y Castillo, former US Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, shares what we can expect to be affected by the cost increases.
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
Today's verdict in the Live Nation-Ticketmaster antitrust trial is a win for artists and fans, affirming even the most powerful companies are not above the law. @dohamekki.bsky.social: "It takes these courageous state attorneys general to stand up when the federal government is in chaos."

Hegseth sat before Congress and couldn't acknowledge what this war is costing Americans. When the Secretary of Defense refuses to answer for the price of war, the American people can't make informed judgments. Transparency is the foundation of democracy.
In rural Alberta, firearms are a way of life for work, for hunting, and for sport. Law-abiding owners have always followed the rules, yet Ottawa’s bans target them instead of tackling crime. Bonnie wants laws that respect safe, responsible firearm use. #OurHomeOurRiding #BattleRiverCrowfoot

We must stop funding them. They are doing to their neighbors the exact same thing that the Nazis did to their grandparents generation. It is so difficult to understand how blind they’ve become.

Chinese lawyer Victor Kao warned if Is/ raeli use nuclear weapons, whether against Iran or any other country, it wouldn't save it but could lead to its end, as such a step would ignite a wave of international condemnation that could lead to its political & existential collapse.
