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.

Making it harder to cancel a subscription can boost corporate revenues by over 200%. Americans overwhelmingly support bans on hidden or extra fees, and policymakers should act to protect families and restore trust. Read the @groundwork.bsky.social report: groundworkcollaborative.org/work/taking-...
Memorial Day is the start of summer, but this year Trump’s war with Iran has raised prices and made travel too costly for families. Labor Day likely won’t be any better. As Kate Gordon said: “We don’t see any price relief, even if magically tomorrow we were to see the Strait open.”
The Trump administration is proposing a $1.5 trillion budget for the Pentagon while Americans are paying more for gas, groceries, and health care. Liz Pancotti says the priorities are clear: bankrolling foreign wars at the expense of relief for families.
Facing the aftermath of the January 30th government shutdown, Lorelei Salas analyzes how tense Senate negotiations are shifting priorities, delaying essential relief, and injecting uncertainty that slows investment and hiring.
Gas prices tend to rise like a rocket and fall like a feather. @mnegron01.bsky.social says given the infrastructure damage to oil refineries and storage, fuel and food supply chains will be slow to recover, keeping prices for families and businesses elevated into 2027.
@dohamekki.bsky.social joined @katiephang.bsky.social to break down the Trump administration’s weak settlement with Live Nation-Ticketmaster, which fails to break up the monopoly power and does little to protect fans from being price gouged with exorbitant fees. ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8tN...
Trump’s war with Iran is making life more unaffordable for working families. The war has driven the fastest gas spike in years, adding to already higher costs for groceries, rent, and health care. Rohit Chopra: "Every single part of their life is getting more expensive."
Americans are facing a “war tax” from Trump’s war with Iran — and not just at the gas pump. @hboushey.bsky.social says fuel surcharges on flights, shipping, and deliveries are spreading through the economy, pushing prices on nearly everything higher and further squeezing families’ budgets.
Farmers are being squeezed by Trump's tariffs and his war with Iran. @alexsjacquez.bsky.social warns that even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens today, fertilizer and fuel supply chains will take time to recover, pushing food inflation toward 4% and keeping prices elevated into 2027.
“We may be in for more pain when it comes to cost of living and cost of business.” @mnegron01.bsky.social breaks down how Trump’s illegal war on Iran is driving up costs, and why households in rural and suburban communities are often the first to feel the squeeze when fuel prices rise.
Trump sued his own government for $10 billion. Today he settled with the DOJ he runs and cut the judge out of the process. The deal: a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund his Attorney General controls, with no court oversight and no transparency. It's the most corrupt scheme of his presidency.

Not confirmed officially. But I think it's a safe bet . This would make an easy payday of at least $59M for the Trump family. I can see this dragged out for years in court. Regardless, take it away, Bobby D!
