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.

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."
@mnegron01.bsky.social: Small businesses have faced higher costs for over a year due to Trump's reckless trade policies. Now, the administration is placing the burden on U.S. importers to get the refund they are owed, with smaller businesses and consumers unlikely to see a dime in refunds.
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-...
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.
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.
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."
The average Illinois household has paid nearly $2,600 more for goods since Trump took office, and costs continue to rise. @mnegron01.bsky.social joined @fox32chicago.bsky.social to explain how Trump’s tariffs and war are driving up costs across the economy and squeezing Americans’ wallets.

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.
The latest jobs report shows a stalling labor market. Wage growth is slowing at the same time that costs are rising. Liz Pancotti warns the conflict in Iran on top of Trump's tariffs — which have already cost families $1,700 — will keep pushing prices higher & squeeze family budgets.
Great communication from Duncan Robinson here. Gets the playcall and is right in Paul Reed's ear. Pretty sure they went Wide (call for the pindown), Robinson is letting him know there's a Flare this time. Tells him to stay high. Mobley helps on the flare, Reed open on the roll

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.

I’ve always been able to stand firmly in my values while also working across the aisle to deliver results. Oklahoma has the highest number of wrongful convictions in the country. For years, the compensation they received from the state was nowhere near enough.

If you need more proof that Reform don’t do even the most basic sense checks when writing their “policies”: How will Reform deport 1000s, by plane, to a country which is a no fly zone? We need parties & politicians who take policy seriously - not who make it up as they go along
Civilians are paying the price of war. They must be protected at all costs. International humanitarian law is not optional. It must be respected by all parties, at all times. #NotATarget
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!

@ladyjulia1997.bsky.social Jawohl Herrin. Da gibt es aber auch noch natürliche Bedürfnisse, überall wo Grunzi zu Gange ist. Mit Windeln ist das alles kein Problem mehr. Grunzi muss nicht mehr aufs Töpfchen. Die Toilette auf Arbeit bleibt dann für eine sehr lange Zeit unbenutzt. 😆
I tried tossing the food, but it didn’t encourage them to approach. So, I decided to leave the food on the ground and quietly walked away. Once I left, I could see them eagerly coming out to eat. When I returned with another bag of food, I found they had already ate everything and were hiding again
