$7 diesel? $9 lattes? It’s expensive out there! And there are many causes, including wars, tariffs, corporate monopolies, deregulation, and so on.<\/p>\n

This week in OtherWords, Paul Gordon shines a light on a less commonly reported but no less important contributor: rulings by Trump-appointed judges<\/strong><\/a>. He flags ruling after ruling that have undermined Americans’ ability to get paid fairly, hold down a decent job, and get their money’s worth for products like insurance.<\/p>\n

Another reason Americans are struggling? A badly shredded social safety net.<\/p>\n

In that vein, Sonali Kolhatkar picks apart a proposal from J.D. Vance that would pay some married parents who stay home with their kids. It’s an appealing idea, but Sonali warns that the funds would come directly out of a program that helps\u00a0single<\/em> parents afford child care<\/strong><\/a> so they can work. If Trump and Vance really wanted to help families, she argues, they wouldn’t have slashed Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.<\/p>\n

Also this week, Starbucks barista Lisa Watson is calling on consumers to boycott the chain<\/strong><\/a> while workers demand fair pay and better conditions. And Elizabeth Rodriguez and Kathleen Wood invite us to consider the conditions of workers who grow the houseplants<\/strong><\/a> that beautify so many of our homes, businesses, public spaces, and places of worship.<\/p>\n

New This Week…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Trump Judges Are Making the Affordability Crisis Worse<\/a> | <\/strong>Paul Gordon
\n<\/strong>Amid rising prices, Trump-appointed judges have quietly made it harder for Americans to get paid fairly \u2014 and easier for corporations to mistreat us.<\/p>\n

Vance Wants to Reward Stay-at-Home Moms \u2014 By Punishing Single Parents<\/strong><\/a> | Sonali Kolhatkar
\n<\/strong>The vice president wants to pay parents who stay home by taking funds from a program that helps single parents afford child care.<\/p>\n

Who Grows Our Houseplants?<\/a> | <\/strong>Elizabeth Rodriguez and Kathleen Wood<\/strong>
\nFor the largely immigrant workers whose labor brings beauty to our homes, public spaces, and places of worship, speaking out about working conditions can come with the risk of retaliation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Time to Boycott Starbucks<\/a> | <\/strong>Lisa Watson
\n<\/strong>Baristas like me are struggling to afford health care while our CEO commutes by private jet and refuses to agree to a fair union contract.<\/p>\n

In Case You Missed It…<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Daughter Belongs at Home, Not in an Institution<\/a> | <\/strong>Margarita Spataro
\n<\/strong>This administration has given parents of kids with disabilities so much to worry about \u2014 including losing our health coverage and seeing our kids institutionalized.<\/p>\n

Immigrants Didn\u2019t Take Your Health Care. ICE Did.<\/a> | <\/strong>Ramya Gosike
\n<\/strong>Millions of lawfully present immigrants are set to lose health care under the GOP\u2019s changes. Millions more U.S. citizens will join them.<\/p>\n

Gen Z Women Don\u2019t Owe America Babies<\/a> | <\/strong>Gabrielle Davis
\n<\/strong>We need an economy where having a family is actually affordable \u2014 and where reproductive choices remain our own.<\/p>\n

Americans Don\u2019t Trust AI. Trump Says \u2018Let It Reign.\u2019<\/a> | <\/strong>Jim Hightower
