The Trump administration is picking winners and losers in this economy. On @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social, @bharatramamurti.bsky.social breaks down how repealed clean-energy credits, delayed broadband projects, and tariffs have cost manufacturing jobs and driven consumer confidence to record lows.
As families across the country face high electricity costs, credit card debt, and rising prices for basic goods, the conflict in Iran continues to affect household budgets. Economics expert Alfredo Romero breaks it down.
Rohit Chopra: Families are cutting back on essentials and taking on more debt just to get by, and Trump's war with Iran is driving costs even higher. "The president is more focused on the ballroom banquet table than what is happening at the kitchen table for so many Americans."
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.
The Fed's decisions impact whether families can afford a home or a car — and whether workers can find a job. @alexsjacquez.bsky.social warns Kevin Warsh’s history of bailing out big banks and refusal to disclose his investments suggest he’ll prioritize the interests of Wall Street over Main Street.
Higher costs from Trump's war with Iran aren't going away. @gbenga-ajilore.bsky.social says disruptions to key inputs like fertilizer will push up food costs. Even if conditions improve, Americans should expect a slow return to normal and continued high prices.
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.”
Undocumented immigrants pay $100 billion in taxes each year, but the fear of the IRS sharing data with ICE changes everything. UnidosUS’ Director of Economic Policy, Lisette Orellana Engel, explains.
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 IRS is severely unprepared this filing season. With a 30% staff cut and 98% vacancy in processing units, the agency is failing the millions of Americans who depend on their refund and now face long delays. Listen to @asteephen.bsky.social on @civicmedia.us: civicmedia.us/shows/nite-l...
