@MrKrueger70 If you’re going to lecture people about inflation, understanding what inflation is would be a good place to start! You’re confusing inflation with prices. Inflation falling doesn’t mean prices fall. It means prices are rising more slowly.

Trump 2.0 has really tested the limits of “campaign in poetry, govern in prose.” He ran on the price of eggs, took credit for the word “groceries” and once elected immediately started making everything more expensive.

Airfare for Thanksgiving and Christmas is reaching a 10-year high, according to travel site Hopper. This has led to more people booking earlier than they did this time last year, as travelers try to get ahead of potentially higher prices. https://t.co/M8EsCIK2m4

@TheRabbi74 Going to war with Iran, for starters. Iran → oil → inflation → interest rates.

@mattyglesias That’s why they’d rather we fixate on the sci-fi AI apocalypse. It feels fair because we’d all die together equally. The real future — where we are permanently locked into a world of haves and have-nots, the rich get richer and everybody else is left behind — is much scarier.

We fought for years to get Gateway moving. Today, the new tunnel to Penn Station is officially under construction.

It will support 200,000 daily riders, create 10,000 union jobs and strengthen the backbone of our economy.

And nothing is going to stop us from getting it done.

Gateway is ALL SYSTEMS GO!

After repeatedly beating Donald Trump in his attempts to shut off federal funding for Gateway, we finally began boring the Hudson River Tunnel, the first new tunnel under the Hudson in over 100 years.

I've championed this project for over a decade, secured billions in federal funding for it, and can’t wait to see it improve the lives of millions of commuters in the NY/NJ area.

It was an honor to join @GovKathyHochul, @GovSherrillNJ, @SenBooker, members of the Gateway Development Commission, and union leaders to mark this momentous occasion.

@sausagefingersJ @CBSNews I am attempting to imply this is a calculated windfall for Big Oil, driving a 100B-gallon surge in use to boost oil profits in addition to $190B in tax breaks & subsidies over 10 years. Reducing vehicle prices is just a pretext to lock in fossil fuel demand at American's expense

@CBSNews Rolling back efficiency standards during the largest physical global energy supply disruption in history is definitely a choice.

Working for @GovKathyHochul is never boring. Today we marked the historic start of the first new rail tunnel under the Hudson River in over a century! This massive infrastructure project will modernize rail travel and double current capacity between Newark and NY Penn Station.

The big dig begins into the palisades of NJ for about a mile. #GatewayTunnel crews & 2 giant machines are boring into the bedrock. This part will take about a year. The larger project is 10 sites that includes a tunnel under the river. Scheduled completion 2035. @PIX11News
