Trump promised economic growth “like you’d never seen before.”
The reality shows that’s BS. Economic forecasts have recession odds near a coin flip.
@owenslindsay1 breaks down where Trump's tariffs have hit the hardest.
It’s been one year since Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs. He promised they’d make Americans “good and wealthy.”
Instead, they cost you – big time.
Fertilizer price spikes → increased food production costs → higher grocery bills.
25% of American farmers hadn't bought their fertilizer yet when Trump’s war shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
@ENPancotti on @Marketplace: "That is one that is quite concerning to me."
⛳A $1.5B Trump golf resort in Vietnam was fast tracked after a tariff deal was made
⌚A gold bar & a Rolex got Switzerland's tariffs cut from 39% to 15%
📱Tim Cook gave Trump a gold disc & got a semiconductor exemption
🙃 Meanwhile working families paid $1,700 more for
Trump called rising gas prices "a little glitch."
Americans paid $8.4 billion more for gas last month alone. That's not a glitch. That's a Trump war tax on every driver in America.

1 year after Liberation Day, here's what Trump liberated working families from: any sense of economic security.
→$1,700 out of pocket in inflated prices
→Manufacturing jobs gone
→Factory investment cratered
Americans want their money back.
Surveillance pricing isn’t just hitting you at checkout — employers are now using personal data to figure out the lowest salary you’ll accept.
“Workers are consumers, too. If it works on consumers, it works on workers. It’s the same psychology,” @owenslindsay1 told @MarketWatch.
1 year ago, Trump announced his "Liberation Day" tariffs to make Americans "good & wealthy." Now:
→ $1,700 stolen from working families
→ 89K manufacturing jobs lost
→ 124K transportation jobs gone
→ Construction spending down $260B
That's not liberation. That's a heist.
Thanks to Trump’s billionaire & corporate tax giveaway, some of the largest corporations are saving billions of dollars this tax season.
The biggest winners? Big Tech, retailers, drugmakers, manufacturers, & telecom giants. Meanwhile, working families struggle to afford
"Some of the country’s wealthiest corporations are calculating they owe far less to the Internal Revenue Service as a result of President Donald Trump’s overhauled tax code, underscoring how a law billed as a middle‑class cut also turned out to be a big win for Corporate America"
We exposed Instacart’s experimental pricing schemes and two weeks later, they shut them down.
Our @owenslindsay1 called out Hershey’s for using worse ingredients but raising prices. Now, they’re walking it back.
That’s the power of calling out companies for gouging consumers.
A sweet victory--and a lesson for companies. Skimping and cutting corners may help your bottom line in the short term, but it can backfire. Americans are sick and tired of higher prices and lower quality.
Thanks to Trump’s war in Iran, gas prices are skyrocketing.
🚨 But here’s the bigger story: Diesel prices are up nearly 50% since the start of the war.
That means the cost of everything – not just gas – is about to get a lot more expensive.
Last week, @Groundwork's @EmDiVito detailed how hundreds of thousands of borrowers are facing collection of "zombie" loans they thought were long gone.
Today, @SenWarren is demanding answers from Russ Vought for dropping the ball.

When companies use personalized pricing, they’re deciding who gets a fair price, & who gets gouged.
Americans agree: fair pricing means the same price for the same product when it’s purchased at the same time. No secret algorithm deciding how much you should pay.
