US Grocery prices plunge as inflation hits four-year low

MxM News
Quick Hit:
Inflation dropped to its lowest level in over four years in April, marking the third straight month of better-than-expected consumer data. The White House says President Trump’s economic policies are driving a “Golden Age” of falling prices and rising wages for American workers.
Key Details:
-
Grocery prices fell by the largest margin in nearly five years, while egg prices plunged 12.7%—the steepest one-month drop since 1984.
-
Gas prices fell for a third consecutive month, contributing to broader declines in energy and transportation costs.
-
Real wages are up 1.9% year-over-year, with steady growth over the last three months giving workers more buying power.
JUST IN: April’s inflation report came in below expectations for the third straight month.

Diving Deeper:
The Consumer Price Index report for April, released Tuesday, shows inflation easing to a four-year low—the strongest evidence yet that President Trump’s economic policies are reversing years of price pressure on American families.
“Inflation has fallen to the lowest level in more than four years as April’s Consumer Price Index smashes expectations for the third straight month in President Donald J. Trump’s Golden Age,” the White House said in a statement.
Prices for essentials saw some of the sharpest declines in years:
-
Grocery prices were down 0.4% in April, while egg prices dropped 12.7%, “the most since 1984,” Bloomberg reported.
-
Airfare, hotel rates, used vehicles, and energy costs all declined compared to a year ago.
-
Workers’ real wages rose for the third straight month, climbing 1.9% over the past year.
Mainstream media outlets that previously warned of Trump’s tariff-driven inflation are now acknowledging the downturn. Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo noted: “Oil is down, eggs are down, food is down. We’re seeing that reflected, so all that hysteria over tariffs is not showing up in these numbers.”
Investopedia’s Caleb Silver added, “The smoke was much worse than the fire… That drop in gasoline and energy prices—a big deal.”
NBC’s Brian Cheung said the report was “pretty solid,” and Bloomberg highlighted that “grocery prices were down 0.4% on the month… validating some of President Donald Trump’s messaging.”
The bottom line: prices are falling, paychecks are going further.

RFK Jr. says Hep B vaccine is linked to 1,135% higher autism rate

From LifeSiteNews
By Matt Lamb
They got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who were too young to be diagnosed and they stratified that, stratified the data
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found newborn babies who received the Hepatitis B vaccine had 1,135-percent higher autism rates than those who did not or received it later in life, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Tucker Carlson recently. However, the CDC practiced “trickery” in its studies on autism so as not to implicate vaccines, Kennedy said.
RFK Jr., who is the current Secretary of Health and Human Services, said the CDC buried the results by manipulating the data. Kennedy has pledged to find the causes of autism, with a particular focus on the role vaccines may play in the rise in rates in the past decades.
The Hepatitis B shot is required by nearly every state in the U.S. for children to attend school, day care, or both. The CDC recommends the jab for all babies at birth, regardless of whether their mother has Hep B, which is easily diagnosable and commonly spread through sexual activity, piercings, and tattoos.
“They kept the study secret and then they manipulated it through five different iterations to try to bury the link and we know how they did it – they got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who were too young to be diagnosed and they stratified that, stratified the data,” Kennedy told Carlson for an episode of the commentator’s podcast. “And they did a lot of other tricks and all of those studies were the subject of those kind of that kind of trickery.”
But now, Kennedy said, the CDC will be conducting real and honest scientific research that follows the highest standards of evidence.
“We’re going to do real science,” Kennedy said. “We’re going to make the databases public for the first time.”
He said the CDC will be compiling records from variety of sources to allow researchers to do better studies on vaccines.
“We’re going to make this data available for independent scientists so everybody can look at it,” the HHS secretary said.

Health and Human Services also said it has put out grant requests for scientists who want to study the issue further.
Kennedy reiterated that by September there will be some initial insights and further information will come within the next six months.
Carlson asked if the answers would “differ from status quo kind of thinking.”
“I think they will,” Kennedy said. He continued on to say that people “need to stop trusting the experts.”
“We were told at the beginning of COVID ‘don’t look at any data yourself, don’t do any investigation yourself, just trust the experts,”‘ he said.
In a democracy, Kennedy said, we have the “obligation” to “do our own research.”
“That’s the way it should be done,” Kennedy said.
He also reiterated that HHS will return to “gold standard science” and publish the results so everyone can review them.

Elon Musk slams Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ calls for new political party

From LifeSiteNews
By Robert Jones
The Tesla CEO warned that Trump’s $5 trillion plan erases DOGE’s cost-cutting gains, while threatening to unseat lawmakers who vote for it.
Elon Musk has reignited his feud with President Donald Trump by denouncing his “Big Beautiful Bill” in a string of social media posts, warning that it would add $5 trillion to the national debt.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” Musk exclaimed in an X post last month.
I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.
This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

Musk renewed his criticism Monday after weeks of public silence, shaming lawmakers who support it while vowing to unseat Republicans who vote for it.
“They’ll lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” he posted on X, while adding that they “should hang their heads in shame.”
Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!
And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO also threatened to publish images branding those lawmakers as “liars.”
Trump responded on Truth Social by accusing Musk of hypocrisy. “He may get more subsidy than any human being in history,” the president wrote. “Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa… BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!”

( Donald J. Trump – Jul 01, 2025, 12:44 AM ET )Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars… pic.twitter.com/VPadoTBoEt

Musk responded by saying that even subsidies to his own companies should be cut.
Before and after the 2024 presidential election, Musk spoke out about government subsidies, including ones for electric vehicles, stating that Tesla would benefit if they were eliminated.
This latest exchange marks a new escalation in the long-running and often unpredictable relationship between the two figures. Musk contributed more than $250 million to Trump’s reelection campaign and was later appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which oversaw the termination of more than 120,000 federal employees.
Musk has argued that Trump’s new bill wipes out DOGE’s savings and reveals a deeper structural problem. “We live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” he wrote, arguing that the legislation should be knows as the “DEBT SLAVERY bill” before calling for a new political party “that actually cares about the people.”
It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!
Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.

In June, Musk deleted several inflammatory posts about the president, including one claiming that Trump was implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein files. He later acknowledged some of his comments “went too far.” Trump, in response, said the apology was “very nice.”
With the bill still under Senate review, the dispute underscores growing pressure on Trump from fiscal hardliners and tech-aligned conservatives – some of whom helped deliver his return to power. Cracks in the coalition may spell longer term problems for the Make America Great Again movement.
