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 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.

The Trump administration is picking winners and losers in this economy. On @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social, @bharatramamurti.bsky.social breaks down how repealed clean-energy credits, delayed broadband projects, and tariffs have cost manufacturing jobs and driven consumer confidence to record lows.

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.”

Grocery prices are already high. Now Instacart is finding new ways to shift costs onto NYC consumers with an additional fee on orders. Lorelei Salas on @fox5ny.bsky.social: "This is about squeezing as much money as you can from consumers and workers who are making you a millionaire company."

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

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.

Rohit Chopra on The Lead with @jaketapper.bsky.social: While Trump lives in a gold-plated bubble, his tariffs cost families about $1,700 last year and are still driving up prices. The Supreme Court struck down his tariffs, so families were illegally overcharged and they want their money back now.

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.

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.

Lutnick: "Serving in the cabinet of Donald Trump is the greatest honor of a lifetime. As his commerce secretary, my job is to bring in investment, and we brought in $18 trillion." (The $18 trillion figure is made up -- the entire GDP of America is about $32 trillion.)

People never understand when I say the scariest movie ever made is Groundhog Day. This hits so hard!!!

“To protect and defend this constitution, you can refuse illegal orders. You MUST refuse illegal orders. No-one has to carry out orders that violate the law. Don’t give up the ship.”

The U.S. “war on narco-terrorism” has normalized extrajudicial violence and weakened both international law abroad and constitutional restraints at home. zurl.co/iF4FX

Most organisations don’t have a strategy problem, they have an execution problem. This is Chris Hirst challenging the belief that the answer to organisational underperformance is always another framework, workshop, or strategic rethink.
