Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.
Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.
Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.
The U.S. Consumer Price Index jumped from 3.8%/yr in April to 4.2%/yr in May. That's the highest rate since April of 2023.
As I've been saying for months, the inflation genie is out of the bottle.
MAGA and Trump give me no choice but to vote Democrat in November. Not because "I'm a liberal". Because you started an illegal war, destroyed the economy, tariff my small family business, covered up Epstein, expand the surveillance state and hand billions to wealthy corporations.
🚨 BREAKING:
PETER SCHIFF SAID LIVE ON FOX NEWS:
"WE ARE HEADED FOR ECONOMIC CRISIS THAT WILL MAKE THE 2008 LOOK LIKE A SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC."
THIS GUY PREDICTED THE 2008 CRASH AND CONTROLS $2.18 BILLION IN ASSETS
HE DEFINITELY KNOWS SOMETHING...
🚨 Oil isn’t $200 yet... but it’s coming, and it'll bring market chaos.
100+ days into the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz is still blocked, OPEC production has collapsed by ~13 Mb/d, yet prices stay suppressed under $100 as US/China drain stockpiles to prop up “markets.”
This can’t last. True shortages and price discovery are coming.
Watch my latest breakdown, tearing into the mainstream misinformation:

Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter.

Russland brennt und explodiert. Selenskyj sagte es heute.
Drei Explosionen auf der Hauptgaspipeline Mozdok-Kasimagomedsk in Dagestan – Kizilyurt. Feuerturm über der Stadt – kilometerweit sichtbar. Rohrdurchmesser: 1.200 Millimeter – Russlands Hauptversorgungspipeline in die Region. Über 100 Menschen evakuiert. Keine Opfer bisher bestätigt. Ursache noch unklar. Heute in Russland: Autobombe in Balaschicha – Oberst getötet.
150 ukrainische Drohnen in der Luft. Und jetzt: Hauptgaspipeline in Flammen in Dagestan. Es war ein langer Tag für Russland. 🇷🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺
Holy shit! Another 🇺🇦 Flamingo 🦩 cruise missile just hit 💥 VNIIR, a 🇷🇺 defense industry complex in Cheboksary. Russians are scared AF and can’t believe what’s just happening.
It’s insane if a Democrat were presiding over this economy with these gas prices and a war in Iran and was caught on camera sleeping every day there would be fucking riots. What the fuck is going on?
The US attacks on Iran have been extended over at least 3+ rounds of missile hits. This seems to be much larger than anyone expected - We could be witnessing the start of a coastal attack campaign.
JESSE WATTERS: “Technically, I know it doesn’t seem like it, but we’re still in a ceasefire. And Trump says we’re close to making a deal.”
This is the dumbest comment in news anchor history.
BREAKING: US strikes have now hit two drinking water tanks in Sirik, southern Iran, cutting off all drinking water in the district, per IRIB.
Iran has warned 2 hours ago it will immediately place all regional Gulf energy infrastructure under continuous missile fire, and with this US attack, water desalination infrastructure which the Gulf depends on for over 90%, would specifically become major targets.
