Resonate's Eric Coffin-Gould and Carly Evans take a look at the social media fallout of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the surge of engagement the right has seen online in this week's edition of FWIW.

Game on.

One of Sen. Ernst's constituents points out that people are going to die if Republicans' cuts to Medicaid go through. Ernst's response? "Well, we all are going to die." Republicans know exactly what they are doing—all so billionaires can get another tax cut.

🚨Powerful piece from @sagewarner.bsky.social on how telling the stories of Americans hurt by massive Republican cuts is KEY to stopping this devastating bill. 14M people will lose health care 7M people will lose food aid 21K+ people would die These are the stakes: msmagazine.com/2025/05/28/c...

🚨NEW from @thiggins.bsky.social: The Republican budget bill is an ENERGY TAX on American families. 📈$110/year INCREASE in your electric bill 📈Up to 37 cent/gallon gas price SPIKE All so Trump and Republicans can slash taxes for billionaires: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Wow, the House Republican tax bill would increase gas prices. By a lot. Up to 37¢ per gallon! New numbers published by CAP show how ending clean energy investment props up demand for fossil fuels, raises prices, and makes households pay an extra $400b over the next decade to Big Oil and Gas.

🚨NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social: Republican Medicaid cuts will kill an estimated 21,600 people. These deaths are preventable—and Trump and Republicans are CHOOSING to vote to kill. Here's a district breakdown—tell your rep to VOTE NO (202) 224-3121: www.americanprogress.org/article/hous...

"It's Ebenezer Scrooge day at the Capitol today: Taking health care from the poor to fund tax cuts for the rich." @repdarrensoto.bsky.social hammers Republicans for threatening to take away health care from millions of people. #NoMedicaidCuts

Even if you're on private insurance, the Republican budget will screw you over too, @aoc.bsky.social explains. #NoMedicaidCuts

@aoc.bsky.social calls out the Republican budget bill for what it is: "We are cutting money and health care from people and families who are suffering to pay for tax cuts for the rich. It is a crime happening in front of the American public right now." #NoMedicaidCuts

New Gallup poll finds an all-time high in the share of Americans saying their financial situation is “getting worse”

High prices + a possible recession. That's the poisonous cocktail Trump is serving us.

Don’t let this Friday news dump get buried: Social Security is cutting 90% of regional workforce — and shifting all public communications exclusively to Elon Musk’s X. They are dismantling public services in plain sight.

Public health is pandemic preparedness. If the Trump administration continues to pursue policies that hurt the middle class and fails to control the spread of bird flu, egg prices could remain high just before Easter and Passover. Just out from CAP: www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

🚨NEW CAP analysis: Trump's latest tariffs will cost families $4,600 per year🚨 📈Berry, banana, coffee, and nut prices UP 10% 📈Playstation 2 UP $700+ 📈iPhone prices will more than DOUBLE This is not a pause. Trump is betraying the middle class. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

🚨@corybooker.com on @meidastouch.com: Trump's tariffs are going to drive prices EVEN HIGHER and cost the average American THOUSANDS of dollars a year. Trump is "a danger to our economy."

I don't see how 104% tariffs on China will help Americans, and I see lots of ways they'll hurt. Let's explore iPhone economics.

Trump's reckless tariffs are a tax on Americans. @americanprogress.bsky.social illustrates price hikes for clothes, groceries, and household items. He's slapped tariffs on goods without regard to whether these are things we can ever make or grow in America. www.americanprogress.org/shareable/am...

🚨Things you need to buy are about to get WAYYYY more expensive because of Trump's tariffs🚨 NEW analysis from @americanprogress.bsky.social: www.americanprogress.org/article/exam...

Projecting price hikes under Trump's tariffs from @emily-gee.bsky.social @americanprogress.bsky.social ...or... "I'm glad I'm not buying a Playstation anytime soon"

“For the convenience of the U.S. Government.” That’s the reason the Trump Administration gave the World Food Program for cutting food aid to starving people. Literal children will go hungry. This is sick.

Portland, ME showed up. #HandsOff

🚨NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social: Trump's taking a sledgehammer to our economy—costing American households $3,800 📈higher coffee, banana & chocolate prices 📈wine prices up to 40% higher 📈iPhone prices up to 40% higher 📈higher prices on 97% of clothes www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

“For consumers, this will be the biggest tax increase they’ve faced in 50 years, in the form of price increases.” Trump is taking money out of your bank account to pay for tax cuts for the rich. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

When economists are calling it "worse than the worst case scenario," you have to know Trump is NOT working for working people...

There's hope to build a stronger progressive media ecosystem! Progressive YouTube pages are growing faster than conservative YouTube pages. We have a LONG way to go, but many groups are doing the work. It needs WAY more investment. @kylewilsontharp.bsky.social: www.chaoticera.news/p/on-youtube...

Plummeting savings. Skyrocketing prices. Trump's economic plan in action.

Let me get this straight: we can't "afford" to track disease, research cures or make sure food and drugs are safe, but we can afford to spend $4.5 trillion on tax breaks that mostly go to the rich?

Are you, like millions of Americans, looking to buy a Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, or Kia? Trump is making it 25% MORE EXPENSIVE. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

How does making our lives more dangerous make America great again?

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

AMERICANS: Make things more affordable! TRUMP: Destroys department that makes education more affordable

BREAKING: Trump just signed an illegal executive order to DESTROY the Department of Education. How exactly does failing our kids make America great?

@jbpritzker.bsky.social: Donald Trump has given the government to Elon Musk and his DOGE-bags 🎯

@jbpritzker.bsky.social: "Why are we not screaming about the $7.25 minimum wage in this country? No one can live on it." It's about time we do something about it.

🔥 @chrismurphyct.bsky.social nails it on @thedailyshow.com: Republicans have invested in communications infrastructure for the modern media landscape. Democrats have not. We need more authentic content from more voices across more platforms where people actually spend their time.

🗓️ TOMORROW: Join @neeratanden.bsky.social and @govpritzker.illinois.gov for a conversation on how the Trump administration is harming working people and the path forward.

Today is a great day for Donald Trump, Elon Musk, MAGA Republicans in Congress, and their billionaire donors. And a complete disaster for everyone else. We need new leadership in the Democratic Party

Momentum is on our side! Keep calling your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote "NO" on cloture and final passage of the Continuing Resolution. We HAVE TO protect cancer research, veteran benefits, health care, and more from Republican cuts.

🚨Call your senators now and tell them to VOTE NO! Vote is this afternoon. Here's an easy script ⬇️

🚨In less than 24 hours the Senate will vote on a Republican bill that could cut everything from cancer research to health care for seniors. Is your Senator undecided? Call (202) 224-3121 ASAP and tell them to vote "HELL NO" on cloture and passage of the Continuing Resolution.

His 7th bankruptcy will be us if we don’t stand up and fight back.

WATCH: @neguse.house.gov doesn't mince words when he lays out the details in Republicans' budget plan. Cuts to food for hungry children, health care for seniors, and essential benefits for veterans.

🔥 @joeneguse.bsky.social on @meidastouch.com: "This is a [Republican] bill that would cut funding for core programs that countless Americans rely upon: nutrition assistance, health care benefits, veterans benefits ... it's SHAMEFUL" Call your senators NOW—tell them to VOTE NO: (202) 224-3121

Doug Ford: "If we go into a recession, it's self-made by one person. It's called 'President Trump's recession.' It shouldn't be this way. We should be booming. Both countries."

🚨NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social: Trump's policies are threatening to TANK the economy 📈Trump's tariffs are raising prices 📉Consumer confidence is plummeting ✂️Medicaid cuts threaten health care for millions ❌Mass federal layoffs threaten public safety www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

Trump inherited a surging economy that he is determined to tank. Also, eggs are higher under Trump. This is just a bunch of lies (ie, he's speaking)

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) is removed from the House chambers for his peaceful "disruption." Trump is THAT afraid of criticism.

Trump’s first month back in office has already hurt American families. 📉 Child care centers are shutting down. 🩺 Health programs are closing. 🚜 Farmers are struggling. And this is just the beginning.
