New York City's “Rental Ripoff” hearings are giving tenants a chance to report hazardous conditions and hidden fees directly to city leaders. @emmurpheis.bsky.social says the effort signals a shift toward taking tenant concerns seriously and finding solutions to make housing more affordable.

Rohit Chopra on @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social: As Trump downplays rising prices, major corporations report consumers delaying purchases, buying less, and relying more on credit — clear signs families are cutting back on essentials and taking on more debt just to get by.

Trump’s war with Iran is hitting families and local communities hard. @katenrg.bsky.social says rising fuel and food costs make it harder for food banks to operate, even as more families turn to them for support.

Las mujeres latinas aportan 1,3 millones de dólares a la economía; sin embargo, ganan 54 centavos por cada dólar que gana un hombre blanco. Esta brecha se amplía con cada hijo. Lisette Orellana Engel, Dir. Política Económica de UnidosUS, explica por qué esto nos afecta a todos.

53% of Latino families canceled their summer vacations. Lisette Orellana Engel, Director of Economic Policy at UnidosUS, explains how inflation is forcing families to choose between rent and family vacations.

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.

The economy isn’t working for working Americans. Prices are rising and wages aren’t keeping up. As @gbenga-ajilore.bsky.social put it: “The simple answer is that we're seeing very hot inflation, so we're just seeing higher prices.”

Kitty Richards on @bloomberg.com: Kevin Warsh has proven he is ill-equipped to make the decisions necessary to guide households through an economic crisis. "He might be more interested in which way the political winds are blowing than in what the data is showing."

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.

Disruptions from Trump’s war with Iran are driving up prices for oil and key inputs like fertilizer, with higher costs continuing for weeks or months - even if the war ends tomorrow. @bharatramamurti.bsky.social says Americans should expect continued price pressures and more uncertainty ahead.

This is why they're mad.

UK at UN: War could end the moment Russia stops its invasion. Putin can't achieve his goals by military means. Putin is desperate to convince us all that Russia's victory is inevitable and our support is lost cause. But no one is falling for it. Europe's support is here to stay.

There is a pattern here. When the question is simple but the answer is politically expensive, people suddenly need “more context.” I saw it in legislative meetings. Now I’m watching it play out nationally. The language is different. The strategy is the same. Delay. Deflect. Avoid the clean answer.

He is calling out all the pro-war MAGA troglodytes making videos on social media.

Trump's EPA just repealed the Endangerment Finding. That was the legal basis for ALL federal greenhouse gas regulation. Then he ordered the Pentagon to buy coal. It's not a policy. It's a bailout. #EPAEndangermentFinding #FollowTheMoney #CoalBailout #ClimateRegulation #RenewableEnergy #EPA

You are 100% right! As a society we must learn to listen without judgment. Match others' energy and only give back what they are willing to give you. We all must freely use our voice without restraint or limitation. What we have to say is important and due the respect it deserves. SPEAK UP!
