* As a mother of two, Paige Harris has noticed a change in the way she shops for her family.
* "Items that I have bought regularly have gone up in price steadily," she said. "From hair dye to baby formula, our grocery list has gotten smaller while our budget has had to increase. Meats like steak are a no-go for our household."
* Harris, 38, lives and works as a teacher's assistant in Stella, North Carolina, and is one of almost 40 people who spoke to the Guardian about how they've been coping with the price of goods in the six months since Donald Trump announced his sweeping tariffs.
* On Thursday, a study from S&P Global revealed that companies were expected to pay at least $1.2tn more in 2025 expenses than was previously anticipated. But the burden, according to the researchers, is now shifting to US consumers. They calculated that two-thirds of the "expense shock", more than $900bn, will be absorbed by Americans. Last month, the Yale Budget Lab estimated tariffs would cost households almost $2,400 more a year.
* Harris says the tariffs' impact on her daily life contradicts promises from the Trump administration to "cut prices and make living affordable for everyone". She said: "You see prices soaring. It has become very clear that this administration did not and does not care about the everyday lives of Americans."
* Several Americans told the Guardian their weekly budgets had been drastically altered with the introduction of Trump's tariffs.
* For Cassie, a 25-year-old consultant based in Siler City, North Carolina, costs have shot up quickly compared to the "gradual price increases" during the first two years of the pandemic. Cassie has a strict $65 per week budget for groceries, but since Trump first announced his tariffs, she's been priced out of her normal routine, which included doing most of her weekly shopping at Walmart.

ICYMI: Across the State, Thousands of Michiganders Reject Republican Agenda During No Kings Protests
This weekend, Michiganders from the UP to Grand Rapids to Detroit gathered together in the thousands to oppose the Republican agenda that is threatening the most fundamental democratic values of this country. With signs like "No Kings in America" and "I Dissent", demonstrators showed Republicans up and down the ballot exactly what they think about their wanna be monarch, Trump.
Michiganders were joining the nearly seven million people across the country who were pushing back against the Trump administration and every Republican that supports cutting health care and food stamps to give billionaires another tax break. They showed up to say that the near constant attacks on voting rights, health care, and working families will not continue without a fight.
From veterans to seniors to teenagers, Michiganders of all kinds were making their voices heard and showing Republicans like John James, Mike Rogers, and congressional Republicans that if they keep supporting this administration, voters will show them the door next November.

* A series of "No Kings" rallies throughout Michigan on Saturday brought thousands of demonstrators to the streets and spurred a war of words between local officials in the country's two major political parties.,,
* "Today's marches are a peaceful demonstration of patriotism in the face of a Republican Party that is more interested in Trump's power grabs and passing tax cuts for billionaires than serving the American people," Hertel said in a prepared statement.

* There were close to 100 No Kings demonstrations on Saturday, Oct. 18, that erupted in chants, cheers and honking horns -- at times, laden with expletives and ire -- in communities across Michigan in a nationally coordinated day of protest against President Donald Trump...
* "It feels like so much of Congress is not willing to think for themselves because they're afraid to disagree with Trump," she said. "It's really terrifying that way that any Republican who wants a political career is like, 'We have to do whatever he says.'"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 -- The Democratic National Committee issued the following news release:

Trump is MAGA: Make Argentina Great Again
As Donald Trump's government shutdown approaches the one-month mark, Trump continues to throw Americans under the bus while giving a helping hand to Argentina -- despite his claim that "nothing is benefiting Argentina." Trump suggested this weekend that the U.S. could buy more beef from Argentina, which comes just after Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the administration is working on sending a total of $40 billion to Argentina.
Inresponse, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:
"Trump has done more in the past month to help Argentina than he has to help the American people, who are struggling to afford everything from rent to groceries. Because of Trump, farmers are on the brink of bankruptcy, and the government has been shut down for almost a month. You would think that the so-called 'America First' president would be focused on reopening the government and saving millions of Americans from skyrocketing health care premiums -- but Trump is showing his true colors. He only cares about helping himself and his friends, even at the expense of the American people. Let's be clear: MAGA now stands for Make Argentina Great Again."
First, Trump and his Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent orchestrated a $20 billion bailout for Argentina's economy. Then, reporting revealed that Trump and Bessent's bailout will benefit longtime wealthy fund manager Rob Citrone, an ally of Trump and Bessent. And most recently, Bessent announced that the administration is working on sending yet another $20 billion to Argentina, bringing the total to $40 billion for Argentina's economy.
Let's not forget: the $40 billion that Trump is handing over to Argentina is more than it would cost to pay for enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits for two years, as working families brace for skyrocketing health care premiums because Republicans refuse to reopen the government and extend these tax credits.
