Social media users, including celebrities such as singers Demi Lovato and Gracie Abrams, are posting complaints that Meta won’t let them unfollow President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and first lady Melania Trump on Instagram. On her Instagram story, Abrams said she had to unfollow the @vp and @potus accounts three separate times because Meta kept automatically refollowing the accounts. “How curious!” the singer wrote. “Had to block them in order to make sure I am nowhere near that.” Demi Lovato on her Instagram story said: “I have unfollowed this guy twice today.” Other social media users are posting heads ups to unfollow the accounts if they don’t support the Trump administration. And some users raised concerns that the hashtag #Democrat was blocked on Instagram this week. On Tuesday, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said that the company was working to resolve an issue that affected the search function for different hashtags and that it didn’t just affect hashtags “on the left.”

If paying $1,000 for a new iPhone already sounded expensive, consumers should brace for even greater sticker shock later this year. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign goods – specifically those sourced from China – are expected to heighten the prices of everyday tech products, from iPhones to laptops, cars and even smaller gadgets like headphones and computer mice.

The US stock market, fresh off its third-best day in modern history, is sinking back into reality: Although President Donald Trump paused most of his “reciprocal” tariffs, his other massive import taxes have already inflicted significant damage, and the economy won’t easily recover from the fallout.
