Updates from the Smoky Mountain News throughout the week.

Trump and his puppet master Elon Musk are killing our economy that was recovering better than any other major nation after the terrible worldwide COVID experience, an economy with bipartisan infrastructure investments that were good for working people and poised to take off in a measured and secure way with inflation down and jobs up.

Now costs are going back up and we are in total chaos within our own borders and across the world, with hate, mistrust from our allies and anti-civil rights continuing to rise. Keep an eye on your bank accounts folks. Don’t depend on Social Security or Medicare that you’ve worked for your whole life, as the billionaires in charge are gouging the funds, safety and security of all Americans in order to fund their $4 trillion tax cuts for the wealthy. Those that can better grow a garden and share with your neighbor.
