The decision centers on #tariffs imposed under an “emergency” powers #law, including the sweeping “reciprocal” #tariffs he levied on nearly every other country on earth. It’s the first major piece of Trump’s broad agenda to come squarely before the nation’s highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of 3 conservative jurists in his first term. #law #economy #geopolitics #Trump #SCOTUS #affordability #inflation #CostOfLiving

#Trump has been very vocal about the case, calling it one of the most important in #US #history & saying a ruling against him would be an economic body blow to the country. But #legal opposition crossed the political spectrum, including #libertarian & pro-#business groups that are typically aligned with the #GOP. Polling has found tariffs are NOT broadly popular with the public, amid wider voter concern about #affordability. #law #economy #geopolitics #SCOTUS #inflation #CostOfLiving

Finally! This is exactly what is needed to push the market even further toward renewables and end fossil fuel usage. This planet gets all the energy it needs from that beautiful big ball in the sky! #ClimateSolutions #Affordability #EndFossilFuels Bill to allow "balcony solar" option for Coloradans awaits Gov.

"According to Gas Buddy, the national average price for a gallon of regular gas is now up to $3.59 a gallon. This is a 62-cent jump from February 28th. Largest oil disruption ever in history. Brent is up 12.5% right now. That is up to 104.30. Crude oil is up 12%." ~ David Shuster #Trump #Iran #war #oil #gas #economy #prices #affordability /13 https://www.blueamp.co/p/shusters-weekly-wrap-up-trumps-iran

"Through Trump’s Iran War, shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, futile effort to pass a Jim Crow-style voter suppression act (the so-called SAVE Act), and inflation-aggravating tariff scheme, Republicans are discovering they are tied at the hip with Trump. Refusing to deviate from his dictates, they will bear the brunt of his serial failures." #Trump #Republicans #ApprovalRating #Iran #war #oil #gas #economy #affordability #ICE #immigrants #cruelty /4

"Republicans made a calculated bet that by indulging Donald Trump’s ill-conceived and cruel schemes (e.g., unleashing ICE on cities, tariffs, wars with Venezuela and Iran, slashing healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the rich), the country would somehow stumble through." ~ Jennifer Rubin #Trump #Republicans #ApprovalRating #Iran #war #oil #gas #economy #affordability #ICE #immigrants #cruelty /2 https://www.contrariannews.org/p/what-did-republicans-expect

Trump’s #Affordability is #MAGA extreme lethality for US working class economy. Real Americans pay up so Epstein Class #CitizensUnited corporations can keep those tariff refunds. The winners of Capitalism have taken our nation for extreme wealth consolidation of the oligarchy all for the price of ending democracy. https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-tariff-costs-families-rebate

It is unlikely to have any practical effect given that #Trump almost certainly would #veto it, but the measure’s movement through the #House reflects frustration among some #GOP lawmakers about #Congress continuing to cede its authority over #trade matters to the White House, & concern that voters are being hurt by the levies. #law #economy #inflation #affordability #CostOfLiving

#USPolitics #Affordability "the tiny house trend isn’t new at all. In the 1920s, sociologist and social reformer Caroline Bartlett Crane designed and promoted what we would now consider a tiny home as part of a larger effort to provide adaptable, affordable housing in the United States."

Donald Trump made promises that he would increase affordability for Americans, but in a Cabinet meeting today, he seemed to suggest the opposite. Of current homeowners, he said: "We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home." Here's the full story from @people@flipboard.com. https://flip.it/_9gwrH #USNews #USPolitics #TrumpAdministration #Affordability #HomeOwnership

#GiftArticle Soaring #electricity prices are triggering a wave of power shutoffs nationwide, leaving more Americans in the dark as unpaid #bills pile up. Although there is no national count of electricity shutoffs, data from select utilities in 11 states show that disconnections have risen in at least 8 of them since last year, acc/to figures compiled by WaPo & the National #Energy Assistance Directors Association (#NEADA). #economy #affordability #Trump #inflation https://wapo.st/3Xb0mXI
