How can Democrats regain the working class?
By fighting corporate America's ability to:
—Raise prices higher than their increasing costs.
—Suppress wages and bust unions.
—Bribe lawmakers to cut their taxes and dole out corporate welfare.

Meanwhile, Trump’s personal net worth has soared by at least $3 billion since retaking the White House.

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

Donald Trump isn't interested in wielding his antitrust authority to protect the American people and preserve competition in our economy — he's using it to reward his allies.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power.
Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Of course, no one seems willing to hold him accountable. A judge in Georgia has now dismissed the last remaining criminal case against Trump, effectively ending any effort to hold him criminally responsible for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
