Republicans pass budget bill as Trump’s tariffs spark nationwide protests
SUMMARY: Senate Republicans passed a budget bill aiming to implement some of President Trump’s campaign promises, including tax cuts on tips, overtime, and Social Security. However, the bill faces resistance in the House, including from some Republicans. Meanwhile, protests erupted nationwide against Trump’s tariffs, which are affecting various industries, from auto parts to agriculture. Critics, including some of Trump’s own advisers, warn that these tariffs could harm the economy, with stock market losses and rising inflation. Despite this, Trump and his administration maintain that tariffs will benefit the middle class and lead to more American-made products.
Over the weekend, Senate Republicans passed a sweeping budget bill aimed at transforming some of President Donald Trump’s campaign promises into law, including plans to cut taxes on tips, overtime pay, and Social Security. However, the bill faces resistance in the House, even from some Republicans who argue that it lacks sufficient spending cuts. Both chambers will need to reach an agreement.
The budget debate coincides with widespread reaction to President Trump’s new tariffs, which he has described as an “economic revolution.” The tariffs affect a wide range of industries, from auto parts made in Mexico to U.S. agriculture.

US inflation worsened last month, putting Fed in difficult spot as job market slows
SUMMARY: In August 2025, U.S. inflation increased to 2.9% year-over-year, driven by rising gas, grocery, airfare, and rental prices, surpassing the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Core inflation remained steady at 3.1%. Despite persistent inflation, the job market weakened with slower hiring, a slight rise in unemployment to 4.3%, and a spike in layoffs. This puts the Fed in a dilemma as it prepares to cut interest rates from 4.3% to around 4.1% amid pressure from President Trump. Rising tariffs have pushed up costs for many goods, impacting both small businesses and major retailers, who face challenges balancing prices and demand.
