$4.10/gallon gas. Falling consumer confidence. This is what Trump and Republicans delivered instead of the affordability they promised — warmongering, tax cuts for billionaires, and working families footing the bill. apnews.com/article/econ...

More than 1/3 of working-age adults used a credit card to buy groceries last year & many couldn't pay the balance in full. Americans are ending up with years of high-interest debt for meals they finished long ago. That's the reality of an affordability crisis. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Teaching is an inherently human endeavor. It’s not just about what educators are helping kids to learn, it’s about building trust and connection. Melinda Person is right - a robot simply can’t replace a teacher. @nysut.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/aft....

When Trump took office, he said day one he was bringing down costs. By ending the Medicare Part D subsidy, he's abandoning that promise and leaving 25 million Americans struggling to pay for the meds they need to survive, all so the GOP can cut taxes for the rich. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/b...

Huge news for Arizona! A judge ruled this anti-union measure unconstitutional, so it won't appear on the November ballot.
