I know there’s #inflation and things have been getting more expensive, but I really felt it today, getting #groceries. Not only was I caught off guard by the cost, but the folks ahead of me in line were clearly shocked and stressed by it as well. I wanted to try to help, since I am currently financially stable, but I didn’t want to make them uncomfortable about it. I guess it’s just a good reminder to try to get to know my neighbors and #community better so I can be more helpful.

"In January, right before Donald Trump was president, America had a favorability rating of 15.34. So that means in seven months, it's an 18-point turnaround to the bottom where the brand of USA around the world is now toxic."

"Trump's approval rating in our average is hovering near the low point for his term, around 41.9% approval with all adults. And he scores a 53.7% disapproval rating — making him the most unpopular president ever at this point in a president’s term. Other than the record he set in his first term, that is."

"Prices for beef, pork, and chicken have gone up nearly 25% in the past six months, and suddenly, those backyard barbecues are starting to look like high-end dinner parties….
Beef is through the roof. Chicken prices are strutting higher than Trump’s hair in a wind tunnel. Pork? Forget it. ...
This is what happens when a government that pretends to care about 'working Americans' is really just running a casino with the lights on."
"Labor Day weekend is supposed to be about burgers sizzling, ribs slow-smoking, and steak hitting the grill with that perfect hiss. But instead of flipping patties, Americans are flipping out at the grocery store register. Because here’s the new reality: meat is the new eggs."

"Trump’s tariffs are congealing around the economy, making all international trade that much more sluggish and costly. The result is a straightforward hit to prosperity. Prices will rise, growth will slow, interest rates will stay elevated."

"Right now, the U.S. economy has a lot in common with Wile E. Coyote.
Like the hapless Looney Tunes predator, Donald Trump’s economy went charging off a cliff after his April 2 'Liberation Day' tariffs, which—despite endless tweaks, revisions, abrupt extensions, and equally abrupt reversals—are gradually settling into a new status quo in which the costs of global trade are far higher than before."

"Inflation came in higher than expected in TWO inflation reports this week. Prices are rising. Trump’s has re-ignited inflation - on purpose. Higher prices, the new tariffs, economic uncertainty have slowed the economy and job growth has stalled. Due to the big ugly bill ACA premium estimates for next year have skyrocketed."

"Fake crime wave, real power grab. ...
Ever since that latest weak jobs report, Trump has been frantically trying to convince the American public that the economy is doing great. He is failing, and predictably so. Experience shows that trying to talk up the economy when people don’t perceive it as good never works, even if the data are favorable."

"There is no crime wave or homeless crisis in D.C., but there is a public relations emergency at the White House. It makes one wonder what Trump is trying to hide from: the still lurking Epstein scandal? Rising grocery prices? Criticism over meeting with a war criminal on U.S. soil? It’s becoming embarrassing to watch him manufacture stunts to change the subject."
