A "significant share" of companies surveyed by the Federal Reserve said they raised the prices of goods and services unaffected by tariffs.
One company said they did this to "enjoy the extra margin before tariffs increased their costs."

Businesses are raising prices after tariffs, even on unaffected goods
This could be a sign that companies are using the new tariffs as an excuse to raise prices overall.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?

Why is no one talking about the HUD funds that have been frozen by Musk? This will effect the housing of millions of vulnerable people! We think we have a homelessness problem now, it is about to get much worse!!! Those who work with housing choice say THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM, BEING IGNORED!!!

Conditioning housing and homelessness funding based on the administration’s unrelated and regressive policy positions is cruel and unwise.

This is getting a bit out of hand. When the executive branch ignores the judicial branch, this is lawlessness. It will need to be met by citizens physically resisting federal agents. Otherwise, you're just accepting lawless, fascist rule.
Brown Medicine doctor deported despite federal court order. What we know.
A court order that would have delayed the deportation of Dr. Rasha Alawieh was issued while her plane was on the tarmac, but it took off anyway.

In my 17+ years as a domestic violence victim advocate, I have seen this. I don’t know if it refusal to educate themselves on trauma-informed care or refusing to acknowledge the size of the problem. People are being hurt, denied appropriate treatment and incorrectly labelled.
Clinicians who are unfamiliar with or in denial about Complex PTSD will diagnose a lot more bipolar disorder than actually exists out there-- & "treating" bipolar in someone who doesn't have it can be life ruining.

DOGE: Fake Savings
Elon’s DOGE keeps claiming savings and taking credit for canceling contracts that ended years ago.
🔘 Canceled a 2005 Coast Guard contract—but it ended two decades ago. Claimed $53.7M in “savings.”
🔘 Canceled a $14M contract that ended in 2021.
This isn’t savings—it’s fraud.

The ongoing saga continues. It is not easy, but I am finding a way to communicate what is needed, why and when. I also found out that, like with many things today… it goes all the way to the top. We will see if it gets fixed, or I have to get loud.

So for anyone who knows me and what I usually do, you probably don’t realize that I have been unusually quiet the last few months. Dealing with a local housing authority that continues to endanger my daughter and my life by not following their own policies or following HUD’s direction.
