NEW: Ever feel like everything takes longer, costs more, and leaves you more frustrated than it should? That’s not a coincidence. We call it the Annoyance Economy, and it costs American families $165 billion a year in wasted time and money. 👇 groundworkcollaborative.org/work/taking-on…

A gallon of gas now costs $5 in Connecticut. Diesel is $6. This is ruining people who live paycheck to paycheck, small businesses, farmers and the trucking industry. And there is only person who has caused prices to be this high: DONALD TRUMP.

From GM to Tesla, the auto industry is entering a new era: gouging you to use basic functions of your car.

Trump's war in Iran has accomplished a few things: sky high gas prices, worsening unemployment, & raising prices. “These are the exact kind of spikes that are going to hit low-income people the hardest, at the exact same time that their incomes are slowing the most," @AlexSJacquez in @nytimes. nytimes.com/2026/05/17/bus…

Trump promised to bring inflation down. Well, he did the exact opposite. 77% of Americans said his policies had increased the cost of living. His response? Affordability was "a line of bullshit," & that he doesn't "think about Americans’ financial situation." washingtonpost.com/business/2026/…

For DAME Magazine's Repairing America series, I spoke to experts about addressing affordability through policies like universal childcare, expanded child tax credit, unionization, wage increases, & more. damemagazine.com/2026/05/13/how…

Americans aren't spending more because they're thriving. They're spending more because things costs more. Saving accounts are getting drained. Credit card usage is up. The American consumer is getting stretched to a breaking point. @AlexSJacquez explains on @MSNOWNews.

Yesterday's CPI report found inflation is wiping out wage gains. Today's PPI report confirms wholesale inflation has seen its highest increase in 4 years. Food, gas, and shelter costs are skyrocketing, fueled by Trump's unilateral decision to wage war. cnbc.com/2026/05/13/ppi…

Trump said this week he doesn't "think about Americans' financial situation." Inflation has now eaten through a full year of wage gains. Jet fuel alone is up 103.8% over the past year. Working families are thinking about their financial situation every single day. groundworkcollaborative.org/news/wholesale…

Do Americans actually want a more painstaking and inaccessible economy in which every consumer needs an AI proxy to negotiate against corporate algorithms? The answer, unsurprisingly, is no. jacobin.com/2026/05/survei…

"The pain isn't over. It's just beginning," warns @groundwork in response to latest PPI numbers.

Yesterday: consumer inflation came in at a 3-year high. Today: wholesale inflation surged 6% year-over-year. Wholesale costs are what companies pay before they jack up prices on the rest of us. What's in the pipeline now is headed straight for your grocery bill & gas tank. The pain isn't over. It's just beginning.
