The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr.

Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet.

Pepsi allegedly gave Walmart discounts on its products, while charging other retailers higher prices.

Biden's FTC filed a complaint. Trump's FTC later dropped it.

This is a prime example of how monopoly-like power takes away our freedom of choice. Lina Khan explains.

The most powerful force in American politics today is antiestablishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate and Wall Street Democrats and embrace Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

“What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”
The official voice of the US government Is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us?

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Elon Musk donated $15 million to Republican and pro-Trump super PACs...in just a single day.

That’s roughly 0.00375% of his total net worth.

Oligarchs can spend pennies to rig the system in their favor at the expense of everyone else.
