Latino small businesses. Farmworkers. Families at the grocery store. They’re all paying the price for Trump’s tariffs + rising prices.

The labor market for entry-level workers is “dire.” In fact, “the entire job market is actually pretty bad,” reports @axios.com.

More tariffs = more uncertainty for working families. This isn’t economic security. It’s economic cruelty.

🚨 Millions of Americans could see their health insurance premiums skyrocket by as much as 600% if Republicans let ACA tax credits expire on Nov. 1. Instead of working to lower health care costs, Trump & Rs in Congress are threatening a government shutdown. Families will pay the price — literally.

Rising electricity rates are hitting just about everyone, despite Trump’s vow to bring down energy costs. The five states about to get hit the hardest with rising rates are 👇 Missouri, North Dakota, New Jersey, Iowa, & Montana 😬

Trump promised to lower costs. Here’s where that stands: 🚨New data shows Trump’s economy is hitting families with a double whammy: rising prices + shrinking job opportunities. 60% of Americans say their household finances are worsening - nearly double last year!

🌲 ⚠️ In normal times, folks could rely on seasonal work for extra money. We are no longer in normal times. This holiday season, fewer than 500,000 seasonal retail jobs will be added — the lowest in 16 years. 👉 Tariffs are driving up costs on essentials 👉 Families are pulling back on spending

The people have spoken: Trump is not strong on or good for the economy.

The increased cost of living is causing folks to rethink their ideal American dream. Thanks, Trump.

Labubus as an economic indicator? Watch Liz Pancotti on @kiro7seattle.bsky.social discuss how these loveable toys with mischievous faces are a recession indicator.

Trump’s looking out for the wealthy, not America’s middle class. @lindsayowens.bsky.social talks to @usatoday.com about the new “two-tiered economy” where the very top earners are doing “gangbusters” and middle America is barely keeping up. 🔗: www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Latino communities know Trump’s agenda is a disaster: ❌62% disapprove of his handling of the economy ❌74% oppose his GOP budget law gutting Medicaid & food assistance ❌64% view the U.S. economy today as poor

81% of Americans say that health care costs are a problem. Open enrollment is around the corner, & millions of families could see their insurance premiums skyrocket up to 600%. But Republicans would rather shut down the government than lift a finger to protect your healthcare.

Spoiler alert: It’s because Republicans would rather shut down the government than protect your health care.

The American public is becoming increasingly worried about the health of the U.S. economy (because it’s weakening) and the Republicans' ability to contain rising prices (because they aren’t).

🚨 Millions of Americans have been out of work for over 6 months. The “scarring effects” go beyond lost income. Our @lindsayowens.bsky.social talks to @huffpost.com about long-term unemployment’s impact on the workforce.

Las Vegas casinos & resorts are using dynamic pricing schemes to gouge consumers in lobby shops. “These prices aren't going up because Caesars Palace is running out of sunscreen or running out of beer. They are charging you more because they think they can.” Watch @lindsayowens.bsky.social 👇

This isn’t a nostalgia meal. Families are buying more beans, sardines, and boxed mac&cheese to stretch their budgets as cost of living expenses continue to rise in Trump’s economy.

📦 Did you know that boxes are an economic indicator? Cardboard box demand is collapsing as folks are buying less pizza and other everyday goods delivered via box.

🚨 Behind closed doors, CEOs admit Trump’s economic policies are endangering families and threatening jobs. But in public? Crickets. The working class doesn’t get that luxury. They’re living the consequences every day.

💸 Inflation remains the #1 concern for families — and for good reason. Poll after poll shows people struggling to pay bills, save, or pay off debt. 🚨 More than 1 in 4 Americans say their money situation will prevent them from ever having the life they want.

Families shouldn’t have to rely on coupons to feed their kids while billionaires get tax cuts.

Josh from Florida speaks out against a government working for billionaires & not working families. “I don’t understand how you could be for the American people and have Americans lose their jobs when they have families, have bills.”

The Fed cut rates. Wall Street cheered. But here’s the reality: Working families are being crushed by rising rents, soaring utility bills, and tariff-driven price hikes.

Men AND women are losing out in Trump’s economy. Our @alexsjacquez.bsky.social in @businessinsider.com.

OOF! The Trump economy is leaving families stuck with nowhere to go.

A mother in Virginia put it plainly: her local clinic was a lifeline for her four children. Now it’s shutting down thanks to Trump.

Today, when you buy WiFi on a flight and it doesn’t work, you don’t have to beg for your $$ back. Trump’s DOT is considering scrapping these automatic refunds & consumer protection rules — a gift to airlines & a hit to travelers. Our @lindsayowens.bsky.social in @washingtonpost.com.

Kids aren’t cheap, but this is ridiculous.

81% of Americans say health care costs are a problem. Trump + his allies in Congress just made it worse. This is Trump’s economy.

Health clinics are already being forced to close their doors because of the GOP’s $1T Medicaid cuts. 🚨 VA: 3 health centers shut down 🚨 GW: Labor + delivery unit closed 🚨 Pacific NW: 20% of patients at risk of losing coverage All across the country, neighbors are losing access to life-saving care.

Republicans are fine with millions of Americans seeing their health care premiums skyrocket on November 1st. Rural areas are especially going to be hard hit with insurance premium hikes expected to top 90%.

“Even a large [Fed] rate cut really isn’t going to do much for consumers. People are still dealing with tariffs, immigration challenges, and the broader effects of the President’s economic agenda,” says our Liz Pancotti to KOLD News.

🚨New data: Up to 600% spike in health insurance premiums will hit working-class people on 11/1. But Rs would rather shut down the government than help. “Working families deserve leaders who fight to lower their costs, not politicians who play games with their lives.” @lindsayowens.bsky.social

New polling shows 81% of Americans say health care prices are a problem for their families. This fall, those costs could skyrocket up to 600%. Another week, another Trump price hike.

Straight up: Republicans would rather shut down the government than lift a finger to lower health care costs for millions of Americans. Republicans have an opportunity to reverse course with a bipartisan bill that brings down costs & ensures access to the life-saving care they depend on.

If Republicans don’t take action, this fall, a family of 4 making $80,000 will see their monthly health care premiums jump 113% — from $263 to $560. For a single worker making $25,000, premiums will soar 573%. Working families deserve relief, not price hikes.

🚨Open enrollment begins Nov. 1st, and millions of Americans could see their health insurance premiums skyrocket up to 600%. Why? Because Republicans in Congress would rather shut down the government than lift a finger to lower health care prices for millions of Americans.

🍳🥞 Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but families are cutting back in response to Trump’s chaotic handling of the economy. Trump, however, has no plans for bringing down food costs for American families. www.thestreet.com/restaurants/...

Trump brags about tariffs. Consumers see higher prices. Trump touts jobs. The jobs report disappoints. Trump promises growth. Consumer confidence dwindles. As our @alexsjacquez.bsky.social says: “No matter how many economic experts Trump fires, he can't hide the bad economic news from consumers.”

Farmers built their livelihoods over decades. Trump’s chaotic handling of the economy destroyed them in months.

Trump promised to be “the champion of the American worker.” Instead, we’ve got working families unable to afford the basics like groceries & school supplies. A tiny Fed rate cut won’t undo the damage. This is Trump’s economic mismanagement — plain & simple.

Behind the scenes, Trump’s team is hollowing out Social Security: ❌ 7,000 staff gone ❌ monthslong wait times for benefits ❌ sensitive personal data exposed Grandparents will struggle to make ends meet & you have Trump to thank.

MY BELOVED DMV FAMILY!!! I'm on my way to Washington D.C. to be in conversation about Black women in leadership with some of my favorite Black women leaders!! In collaboration IWPR, @groundwork.bsky.social, and @tcfdotorg.bsky.social, join us at 6 PM EST at MLK Jr. Auditorium in D.C. #PackTheHouse

Trump’s approval rating broke the X-axis like he broke the economy.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t “leveling the playing field.” They’re raising costs for families, hurting farmers, & destabilizing the economy. But instead of looking out for rural America, House Republicans handed him a blank check on tariffs until 2026.

Trump’s tariffs & chaos-fueled agenda are pushing inflation higher, stalling job growth, & squeezing families. The Fed’s small rate cut is like plugging a leak with chewing gum.

When Trump didn’t like the jobs report, he didn’t make moves to fix the economy: he fired the messenger. Trump is making moves that are dangerous for our economy.

The Fed’s tiny rate cut won’t fix what’s really wrong with the economy. Families are being crushed by Trump’s chaos: 📉 Job growth has stalled 💳 Household debt hit a record $18.4 trillion 🛒 Prices keep rising No interest rate tweak can undo Trump’s economic mismanagement.

The Trump admin is touting a new $50 billion rural health fund as a “massive opportunity.” But here’s the reality: it comes after gutting Medicaid by nearly $70 billion for rural hospitals. That’s called a bait-and-switch.
