The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers.

Its influence extends beyond the platform, with major Russian publications, government officials, and journalists citing the page's posts.
