Instead of advancing the American people's interests, President Trump focused on diplomatic theatrics during President Xi's visit last week. Let's talk about it 🤔

Diesel prices are STILL above $6. That hurts farmers during harvest. And it raises your costs on EVERYTHING that comes on trucks – from groceries to online shopping. Remember – this is all because Trump decided to start a war of choice.

Costs are rising across the country. But instead of offering relief, the President is forcing more than 1 million American children to lose access to food assistance.

In the first entry of their three-part "Boots off Ballots" series, @amprog's Dan Herman and Devon Ombres outline the laws prohibiting the U.S. military from interfering in elections. justsecurity.org/153281/boot…

Boots Off Ballots: The Law

Federal law and the Constitution are abundantly clear: efforts to involve troops in U.S. elections are anti-constitutional and illegal.

Are we surprised? Everyday Americans are bearing the costs of Trump's illegal war.
"From the gas pump to the grocery store, everyday Americans are bearing the financial costs of the Iran War." Embedded is a post by Steve Rattner (@SteveRattner) featuring a line chart titled "Lower-Income Households Face the Highest Inflation," showing inflation gaps from 2019 to 2026 where the bottom 40% (+0.22 pp) and middle 40% (+0.12 pp) experience higher inflation rates relative to the national average than the top 20% (-0.37 pp).

Businesses have long adjusted their prices based on supply, demand, and other market conditions. However, AI-fueled surveillance pricing is not simply price changes; it's the ability to use personal information about the shopper to determine what prices to show. Even more troubling, the shopper may not be aware that this is even happening. ❗Policymakers MUST establish guardrails on AI-fueled surveillance pricing. ampr.gs/3TpLMx3

5 Ways the FTC Can Protect Americans From AI-Fueled Surveillance Pricing

As artificial intelligence makes surveillance pricing more intrusive, unfair, and opaque, the Federal Trade Commission should go beyond disclosure by limiting the harmful ways businesses can use...

Gas prices have jumped more than 40% since Trump launched his war of choice. American families shouldn’t have to bear the cost of Trump’s reckless decisions.
