Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for April 10, 2026.

The Consumer Price Index rose by almost a full percentage point, making the annual inflation rise to 3.3%, the largest in a few years. 

Most of it is due to surging gas prices, thanks to The Trump Regime's and the Israeli right wing government's illegal war on Iran. 

Combine this with the harm and damage The Regime, and its MAGA Republican Congress, have perpetrated on the working class with the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill," and Trump's insane tariffs, it's no wonder working class voters are irate and demanding drastic changes to shift the scale away from The Epstein Class, and back towards the working class.
