"Everything the President has done has driven up the price of housing."
That's our @ENPancotti in front of the @OversightDems explaining how all the president's broken promises have made housing even more unaffordable for working families.
While seniors struggle to survive, Trump calls the affordability crisis a "hoax" and enriches his family by billions of dollars. On Friday at 1:30 PM ET, Oversight Dems will hold a hearing in Nevada on how Trump's economy is failing poor, elderly, and working-class Americans.
America’s economic outlook just got a lot more concerning – especially if you’re a young person in America.

"There are strategic ways to use tariffs to crack down on unfair trade practices, but going back & forth with Canada, which is a vital partner, is really not the way to do that," @ENPancotti told @HuffPost.
Awesome! Finally, action from POTUS to lower prices and increase wages.
Since 2019, corporate profits have grown 52 percent.
Wages have grown 12 percent.

People are fed up with companies using their personal data to set different prices for the same items.
Instacart had to backtrack just weeks after we released our report. The FTC has finally taken notice, but is it enough? We don't think so.
@7NewsDC with the story.
If buying tickets for a concert is feeling more like a scam, you're not wrong.
