The Fallout from Charlie Kirk’s Death Online Also Inside: Google Search spikes and unprecedented engagement for right-wing social media

Resonate's Eric Coffin-Gould and Carly Evans take a look at the social media fallout of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the surge of engagement the right has seen online in this week's edition of FWIW.

Game on.

One of Sen. Ernst's constituents points out that people are going to die if Republicans' cuts to Medicaid go through. Ernst's response?

"Well, we all are going to die."

Republicans know exactly what they are doing—all so billionaires can get another tax cut.

🚨Powerful piece from @sagewarner.bsky.social on how telling the stories of Americans hurt by massive Republican cuts is KEY to stopping this devastating bill.

14M people will lose health care
7M people will lose food aid
21K+ people would die

These are the stakes: msmagazine.com/2025/05/28/c...

🚨NEW from @thiggins.bsky.social: The Republican budget bill is an ENERGY TAX on American families.

📈$110/year INCREASE in your electric bill
📈Up to 37 cent/gallon gas price SPIKE

All so Trump and Republicans can slash taxes for billionaires: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Excerpt from the Center for American Progress piece published at https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-house-republican-plan-to-increase-gas-and-electricity-prices/ The House Republican bill would: Raise gasoline prices by 25 cents to 37 cents per gallon by 2035 as demand for oil increases due to the termination of federal electric vehicle affordability programs, fuel economy standards, and tailpipe emission standards. Repeal the financial support for buying new, used, or leased electric vehicles, which would keep between 22 million and 40 million more gasoline-powered cars and trucks on the road through 2035, as roughly one-third of families who would have tried to switch to an electric vehicle can no longer afford one. Increase electricity prices for households and industry as roughly two-thirds of the wind and solar that was previously expected to be deployed this decade is not built. This would cause annual home electric bills to jump $70 by 2031. This corroborates other analysts who found, in some cases even higher electricity price increases. The Clean Energy Buyers Association forecasts an increase of $110 in household electricity spending by 2026. Force Americans to pay the oil and gas industry an additional $339 billion for gasoline and $75 billion for electricity by 2035.

Wow, the House Republican tax bill would increase gas prices. By a lot. Up to 37¢ per gallon!

New numbers published by CAP show how ending clean energy investment props up demand for fossil fuels, raises prices, and makes households pay an extra $400b over the next decade to Big Oil and Gas.

🚨NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social: Republican Medicaid cuts will kill an estimated 21,600 people.

These deaths are preventable—and Trump and Republicans are CHOOSING to vote to kill.

"It's Ebenezer Scrooge day at the Capitol today: Taking health care from the poor to fund tax cuts for the rich."

@repdarrensoto.bsky.social hammers Republicans for threatening to take away health care from millions of people. #NoMedicaidCuts

Even if you're on private insurance, the Republican budget will screw you over too, @aoc.bsky.social explains. #NoMedicaidCuts

@aoc.bsky.social calls out the Republican budget bill for what it is: "We are cutting money and health care from people and families who are suffering to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

It is a crime happening in front of the American public right now." #NoMedicaidCuts

High prices + a possible recession. That's the poisonous cocktail Trump is serving us.

Don’t let this Friday news dump get buried:

Social Security is cutting 90% of regional workforce — and shifting all public communications exclusively to Elon Musk’s X.

They are dismantling public services in plain sight.

How the Trump Administration’s Economic and Public Health Policies Are Driving Up Egg Prices The Trump administration’s mishandling of the avian flu outbreak is raising prices for businesses and families.

Public health is pandemic preparedness. If the Trump administration continues to pursue policies that hurt the middle class and fails to control the spread of bird flu, egg prices could remain high just before Easter and Passover. Just out from CAP:

🚨NEW CAP analysis: Trump's latest tariffs will cost families $4,600 per year🚨

📈Berry, banana, coffee, and nut prices UP 10%
📈Playstation 2 UP $700+
📈iPhone prices will more than DOUBLE

This is not a pause. Trump is betraying the middle class. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

🚨@corybooker.com on @meidastouch.com: Trump's tariffs are going to drive prices EVEN HIGHER and cost the average American THOUSANDS of dollars a year.

Trump is "a danger to our economy."

I don't see how 104% tariffs on China will help Americans, and I see lots of ways they'll hurt.

Let's explore iPhone economics.

Americans can expect to pay more for groceries, clothing, and household items due to President Trump’s trade war

Trump's reckless tariffs are a tax on Americans.
@americanprogress.bsky.social illustrates price hikes for clothes, groceries, and household items. He's slapped tariffs on goods without regard to whether these are things we can ever make or grow in America. www.americanprogress.org/shareable/am...

🚨Things you need to buy are about to get WAYYYY more expensive because of Trump's tariffs🚨

“For the convenience of the U.S. Government.” That’s the reason the Trump Administration gave the World Food Program for cutting food aid to starving people. Literal children will go hungry. This is sick.

“For consumers, this will be the biggest tax increase they’ve faced in 50 years, in the form of price increases.”

Trump is taking money out of your bank account to pay for tax cuts for the rich. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

When economists are calling it "worse than the worst case scenario," you have to know Trump is NOT working for working people...

There's hope to build a stronger progressive media ecosystem!

Progressive YouTube pages are growing faster than conservative YouTube pages.

We have a LONG way to go, but many groups are doing the work. It needs WAY more investment.

@kylewilsontharp.bsky.social: www.chaoticera.news/p/on-youtube...

Plummeting savings.
Skyrocketing prices.

Trump's economic plan in action.

Let me get this straight: we can't "afford" to track disease, research cures or make sure food and drugs are safe, but we can afford to spend $4.5 trillion on tax breaks that mostly go to the rich?
