I was told repeatedly by Trump that his tariffs would not increase prices. Did Donald just lie?Target employee exposes MASSIVE tariff price hike for popular items
Consumer advocates and CEOs have been warning that prices will rise for months. Now, at Target, employees are seeing the first big shifts.www.dailymail.co.uk
For months, big retailers have been warning that prices will rise.
Now, thanks to insider information from Target workers, the extent of the raises are becoming apparent. Staff say it is just the beginning.
A $9.99 USB-C cord from the store's in-house Heyday brand is now ringing up at $17.99, according to a self-identified employee on Reddit.
'It's happening,' the worker wrote, sharing a photo of the price tag update. 'All of Heyday is going up.'
The spike — an 80 percent increase — is being blamed on the latest wave of tariffs linked to President Donald Trump's trade policies.
Target's price rises come after Walmart on Thursday confirmed that it is raising prices this month as a direct result of tariffs.
I'm hoping OLED comes down in price a bit still, maybe for black Friday this year. Time for an upgrade. Eyeing an 83" OLED.
The one I want has been around $3.3k here, hoping to see it drop below 3k in a sale somewhere.

Due to China's poor economy they are subsidizing almost everything including TVs. I just picked up a top of the line 100" Hisense tv for around $2k. Also grabbed a 49" curved 5k gaming monitor for $350. Hooray for rough economies I guess.
How many Americans even know what’s happening? How many will never know because of their media diet? Forty percent?We’re going to need a second Revolution eventually. This isn’t it, but it may help lead us there…”The members of the Republican majority are behaving not like traditional conservatives but like revolutionaries who, having seized power, believe they must smash up the old order as quickly as possible before the country recognizes what is happening”.
The Largest Upward Transfer of Wealth in American History
House Republicans voted to advance a bill that would offer lavish tax cuts for the rich while slashing benefits for the poor.
House Republicans worked through the night to advance a massive piece of legislation that might, if enacted, carry out the largest upward transfer of wealth in American history.
That is not a side effect of the legislation, but its central purpose. The “big, beautiful bill” would pair huge cuts to food assistance and health insurance for low-income Americans with even larger tax cuts for affluent ones.
Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader, warned that the bill’s passage, by a 215–214 margin, would mark the moment the Republicans ensured the loss of their majority in the midterm elections. That may be so. But the Republicans have not pursued this bill for political reasons. They are employing a majority that they suspect is temporary to enact deep changes to the social compact.
The minority party always complains that the majority is “jamming through” major legislation, however deliberate the process may be. (During the year-long debate over the Affordable Care Act, Republicans farcically bemoaned the “rushed” process that consumed months of public hearings.) In this case, however, the indictment is undeniable. The House cemented the bill’s majority support with a series of last-minute changes whose effects have not been digested. The Congressional Budget Office has not even had time to calculate how many millions of Americans would lose health insurance, nor by how many trillions of dollars the deficit would increase.
The heedlessness of the process is an indication of its underlying fanaticism. The members of the Republican majority are behaving not like traditional conservatives but like revolutionaries who, having seized power, believe they must smash up the old order as quickly as possible before the country recognizes what is happening.

Trump wins temporary reprieve as he fights against court block on tariffs
US president rails against judges who ruled against him as appeals court grants pause until challenge is heard
Financial markets welcomed a U.S. court ruling that blocks President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law.
U.S. futures jumped early Thursday and oil prices rose more than $1. The U.S. dollar rose against the yen and euro.
The court found the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which Trump has cited as his basis for ordering massive increases in import duties, does not authorize the use of tariffs.
The White House immediately appealed and it was unclear if Trump would abide by the ruling in the interim. The long term outcome of legal disputes over tariffs remains uncertain. But investors appeared to take heart after the months of turmoil brought on by Trump's trade war.
