There's new tariffs on almost everything that is imported. Some of that increased cost is being eaten by exporters in other countries, but a lot of the higher prices are being picked up by Americans, who are seeing it in their receipts. By @emilyzfeng.bsky.social

Trump just claimed Democrats want a 68% tax hike if his cuts expire. Let’s call it what it is: made up. There’s no math behind that number—just messaging. Invent a crisis. Blame your rivals. Then run as the savior.

We want to take a moment to talk about tariffs because honestly, we didn’t realize how bad it was getting until we started comparing notes with friends and family. Stores across the country are already raising prices, and some of the increases are steep.

There’s nothing moderate about backing Trump’s tariffs, confirming Pete Hegseth, or cheering on Elon Musk as he guts programs North Carolinians rely on. Thom Tillis is putting Trump first, and our state is suffering because of it.

Sitting here listening to the downpour outside and really hoping that the cement was dry [enough?] by the time it started raining Buying an old building means I’ve gotten many chances to get hands dirty & fix things up (w help of pros) was delightful to leave our handprints in the cement ;)

I 100% would have used ChatGPT for homework when I was in school, because homework sucked ass. However, if I hadn't been forced to bullshit a lot of essays 15 minutes before class I wouldn't have learned that I enjoy writing. The moral is to destroy both ChatGPT and homework.

The playbook is simple. The billionaires hiking prices and cutting jobs want workers fighting and blaming each other so they can keep getting rich off our backs and laughing their way to the bank. Immigrants aren’t the problem. Billionaires are.

On Saturday, my husband and I were able to stop in to @elyseribbons.bsky.social's Chengdu Teahouse in Old Town, and it was an amazing experience! We chatted about things that could benefit Old Town, and naturally about the wonderful teas she serves! Can't wait to go back!🍵 #cityoflansing #lansingmi
