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

"The volatility is head-spinning." Americans want lower prices, but Trump’s policies are driving them higher at every turn. Gene Sperling explains how markets aren’t reflecting what families and small businesses are facing — slowing wage growth, mounting debt, and rising prices.

Although some headlines suggest an increase in job numbers, businesses and consumers feel differently. Economist Alfredo Romero shows why the stats don’t always match the economic reality for working families and business owners.

DOGE cuts have left IRS staffing at a historic low, harming taxpayers who need help filing or rely on refunds to make ends meet. On WUSA, @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social says families should expect slower payments and plan ahead as higher costs from Trump's war with Iran squeeze their budgets.

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.

@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...

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

Americans have paid $16B more at the pump since Trump’s war with Iran began. Kitty Richards joined ABC News Live to break down higher costs across the economy as consumer sentiment hits new lows. "Anything that requires fuel or transportation is gonna see a price increase."

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.

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.

Andy Burnham: "My view is that brexit has been damaging but I also believe the last thing we should do right now is rerun those arguments" Burnham is right about not rerunning those arguments - the dividing line in British politics wasn't brexit in 2016 and its not now.
