President Trump promised lower gas prices. Instead, we got high prices at the pump, and even higher profits for Big Oil. Groundwork’s @AlexSJacquez talked with @majorityfm’s @samseder and @EmmaVigeland about how Trump’s policies are hurting 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.
“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.
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.
Americans lose at least $165 billion a year navigating the “Annoyance Economy,” from customer service hoops to junk fees & spam calls. @alexsjacquez.bsky.social says these practices harm low-income families, erode trust in institutions, and enrich corporations without any productive return.
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.
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.”
@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.
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 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.
President Trump took office promising to lower prices on day one, but costs have only gone up. @bharatramamurti.bsky.social: "The American people, rightly, have tuned into the fact that this President is not very interested in solving what they identify as their biggest problem."
