@genesperling.bsky.social: President Trump is doubling down on tariffs, risking even higher prices, weaker job growth, and more economic uncertainty instead of prioritizing consumers, small businesses, and long-term growth.

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.

The IRS hired only 50 customer service reps this year, missing its hiring goal by 98%. Julie Brinn Siegel says with new complicated tax provisions and fewer staff, families are facing longer wait times, delayed refunds, and increased scam risks.

The Trump administration inherited a better-functioning IRS with better customer service and faster refunds. In one year, it has been dramatically hollowed out. @asteephen.bsky.social warns taxpayers may face longer delays and more mistakes that will cost working families the most.

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.

Sameera Fazili on @foxla.bsky.social: Trump’s war with Iran is driving up oil prices, and Republicans’ rollback of investments in affordable clean energy is making it worse. Families are paying more for utilities, and high gas prices are set to wipe out any tax refunds they might have received.

Trump's tariffs cost the average family $1,700 last year, with higher prices on everything from groceries to electronics, clothes, and shipping. Now, the corporations that passed on higher costs from tariffs to consumers are set to get the refunds, leaving consumers empty-handed.

@hboushey.bsky.social warns that Fed nominee Kevin Warsh’s shift from hawkish inflation views to echoing Trump’s calls to lower rates raises serious questions about Fed independence. Families and markets need leaders who follow the data, not political pressure.

Trump’s war with Iran is making life more unaffordable, driving up prices for oil and fertilizer at a time when Americans are already paying too much for health care, rent, and groceries. "It's not just the gas we put in our car. It's gonna show up on grocery shelves." — Liz Pancotti

3 things to track on Capitol Hill 👇 1. Warsh cloture vote for Fed Chair. Powell exits Friday. 2. 3 House roll calls (HR 5625, 6260, 8365). 3. CLARITY Act markup Thursday. Banks lobbying. Who voted. Who funded them. What they said. Track it on Politik. App in bio. #Politik #Congress

Persuasion (1995), avoid the 2022 one at all costs. The Red Violin (1998), Ars longa, vita brevis in movie form, with the added bonus of extreme closeups of Samuel L. Jackson being moved to tears Not a movie, but The Brokenwood Mysteries, all 12 seasons on a damn loop.

Wrong, Hezbollah was formed to fight the 18 year Occupation of Southern Lebanon between 1982-2000 and forced their withdrawal; they will do the same thing no matter how long it takes this time

Happy to see @aprildryan.bsky.social on Bluesky (I haven’t seen her for the last couple years) and this new interview w/ @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is really good. I’ve said all along that if KDH decides to run in 2028, he likely will not.

They are the Israelis prison guards who openly sodomized a Palestinian prisoner and filmed it. They were acquitted...God's chosen people.

No president in modern history has used the office to enrich himself the way Donald Trump has. That's not a political opinion. It’s the conclusion of ethics watchdogs who have spent their careers watching this stuff.

Always loved a good break-down of a song that used samples, in this case, Good Vibrations by Marky Mark & the Funky bunch feat. Loletta Holloway (probably the most sampled voice ever)

Thousands of teachers are stuck on precarious contracts because the government has completely mismanaged its workforce plan, training extra teachers without being able to employ them. The latest figures showed less than a quarter of newly-qualified teachers were able to find a permanent contract.

CA runs their elections like a third world dictatorship nation. Results should be known THAT NIGHT! But you see...if you're dealing with people trying to steal it, this cannot be allowed. They need weeks, because it takes time to see how many votes you need, mass produce them, then send them over.
