@mnegron01.bsky.social on @fox2detroit.bsky.social: President Trump's war with Iran is yet another policy choice actively driving up the cost of living. Americans are now being squeezed by higher prices at the gas pump, on top of Trump's tariffs & higher costs for shipping, food, & other essentials.

President Trump’s tariffs have done nothing but hurt the job market and drive up prices for consumers and businesses. Rohit Chopra says any refunds going to corporations must be disclosed and passed along to the consumers who have paid thousands in extra fees for everyday goods.
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.
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.
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
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.
The IRS is phasing out paper refund checks, leaving millions of Americans at risk of delays. @asteephen.bsky.social explains how this shift will disproportionately impact low-income and rural taxpayers, with no live customer assistance available to help navigate the process. @nbc10wjar.bsky.social
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.
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.”
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.
Trump’s tariffs, war with Iran, and other policy choices continue to harm working Americans and drive up prices. As Aya Ibrahim said: “50-75% of the increase in inflation over the Federal Reserve’s target is a result of the tariffs.”
The Farrer by-election result is another example of how there is no such thing as a safe seat. Director of The Australia Institute's Democracy & Accountability Program Bill Browne explains. Read more here: https://australiainstitute.org.au/report/power-sharing-in-australian-parliament/

Protecting our chalk streams should never have been controversial — yet the amendment fell because the government refused to act and the Tories, the official opposition, wouldn’t back it. I’ll keep pressing for real protections for these precious ecosystems.
Trump just created a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to reward the insurrectionists and allies who break the law in his name. It is one of the most brazen abuses of power we have ever seen. I am running for Congress to stop him and defend democracy. #mepolitics

“Warrior-focused legal culture” is a phrase worth watching closely. In a healthy system, military lawyers help commanders fight lawfully. In a dangerous system, lawyers are pressured to make unlawful or abusive decisions look legally defensible.
Proud to share our second TV ad! My mom’s battle is a story far too many families can relate to. No one should have to lose the care they need because they can’t afford insurance. I’m fighting for Medicare for All. If you’re ready to support that vision, I’d be honored to have your vote on June 2.

The Epstein files do not “exonerate” Trump. They include four FBI interviews with a survivor who says Epstein trafficked her to Trump when she was 13. Then, NPR found missing DOJ documents tied to the case. That is not exoneration. https://youtu.be/FdEcPzZhop4

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.
Images of the future motivate. They unite people around shared goals. They energise teams. But in most organisations, vision statements are vague and inherited. Not lived. Not co-created. What would it take to make vision tangible?
