Bill Pulte should be working to keep mortgages stable. Instead, he’s waging political lawfare against the Fed. Meanwhile, homebuying is at its lowest level since the 1990s. “This is a frightening time for American democracy, and for the American economy.” . Our @KittyRichardsDC

📚✏️ Trump’s tariffs are making back-to-school more expensive. Families are paying 7.3% more for supplies and $163 more to pack a lunchbox than last year. Tariffs aren’t abstract — they’re a tax on working families. @SenateBanking

Trump is coming for Boys Night-In 🚫❌. Between the rising costs of Pepsi, gaming consoles, electricity, ground beef, and so much more - boys' night-in is now a luxury few can afford.

Donald “JOBS CUTTING” Trump just confirmed the largest single-year cut to the federal workforce since WWII: 300,000 jobs gone. Cutting public servants also means cutting the vital services families rely on — from health care to consumer protection.

The NYC penthouse crowd is squawking: “If you raise our taxes, we’ll leave!” 🐦 Spoiler: they won’t. The City’s millionaires + billionaires may never ride a free city bus, but they can’t ignore the fact that the everyday people who do are the ones who keep NYC thriving as the

Why does Trump hate @SenWarren so much?. Because she knows his most vulnerable pain point, which “is how vulnerable he is on the economy,” said our @owenslindsay1 to @BostonGlobe. Trump’s broken promises are apparent, and Sen. Warren isn’t afraid to call them out.

Teachers shouldn’t have to spend over $1,600 of their own money to stock classrooms. Families shouldn’t face inflated back-to-school prices. The problem isn’t a lack of generosity: it’s decades of underfunding & Trump’s policies hiking costs for working people.
