We also know where his weak spots are and what atrocities his regime is committing on a daily basis. Message from the source channel owner. Today “N” brings us new translations.

Statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on the March Producer Price Index

Today’s report is further evidence that we are making progress bringing inflation down. The annual inflation rate for producers is 2.7 percent — the lowest rate in more than two years.
