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.

The IRS hired only 50 customer service reps this year, missing its hiring goal by 98%. Julie Brinn Siegel says with new complicated tax provisions and fewer staff, families are facing longer wait times, delayed refunds, and increased scam risks.

Undocumented immigrants pay $100 billion in taxes each year, but the fear of the IRS sharing data with ICE changes everything. UnidosUS’ Director of Economic Policy, Lisette Orellana Engel, explains.

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.

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.

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.

Los titulares indican que hay más empleos, pero las empresas y los consumidores no lo perciben así. El economista Alfredo Romero explica por qué las cifras no reflejan la realidad que viven las familias y los dueños de negocios.

Energy shocks don’t stop at the gas pump. @alexsjacquez.bsky.social explains how Trump’s war in Iran is driving oil, diesel, and jet fuel prices up — sending costs higher for shipping, food, and other essentials when families are already stretched thin.

@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.

Trump promised to lower prices. Instead, his economy is one of rising prices and stagnating wages. The American people know they were sold a raw deal. As Kitty Richards put it: “We’re seeing consistently that voters feel like the economy is headed in the wrong direction.”

This right here!!! 👊🤨💯 SEC School boycott. And yes, that includes BLACK ATHLETES TRANSFERRING SCHOOLS. That’s a huge financial loss for colleges that have no problem recruiting black athletes, but suddenly go quiet when it comes to supporting their rights for real representation in government.

Liv’s finger (alongside her head bump) is in serious danger of having their own solo career ☺️🤣🙌🏻

Trump took the MAGA 2012 autopsy the one about more inclusion and such, and flushed it. The anti-democracy *had* been on a roll, but now the egos are getting involved with their own careerism extremist ways. The crowded fields in California and now this autopsy ended that.

AI?? We already have a problem with the government invading our privacy with unauthorized mass surveillance. Imagine the privacy laws Trump breaks daily?
