The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

A new poll finds 57% of Americans disapprove of Elon Musk's job heading DOGE, making him less popular than Trump himself. The public has realized what's been clear since Day 1 — DOGE was never interested in helping anyone except billionaires.

D.C. taxpayers could be on the hook for over $1B to build a new stadium for the Washington Commanders. The team's owner is a private equity mogul worth nearly $10B. Here's what you should know about the billionaires' public subsidy stadium scam.

Average global CEO pay has skyrocketed 50% since 2019 to $4.3M. By contrast, average worker pay has risen just 0.9% over that same period.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"? oxfamamerica.org/press/global-c…

The CFPB has delivered $21B in relief for consumers wronged by financial predators. Trump and the GOP now want to gut the Bureau's funding by 70% in their budget bill, ahead of passing another huge tax cut for the rich. Class warfare in broad daylight.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

New analysis reveals more than half of the top buyers of Trump's memecoin are likely based outside the US. Trump's stablecoin, his other major crypto venture, is also receiving major backing from the UAE. How is this not an Emoluments Clause violation?

The three decades after WWII ushered in levels of widely shared prosperity the US had never seen. Things weren't perfect, but we seemed to understand the importance of unions and that the real "job creators" are Americans workers whose rising wages generated economic growth.

Our rigged system in a nutshell. When the rich become richer, they can use their vast wealth to pour money into our democracy and rig the system to enrich themselves even more. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says it's legal for Trump to accept a luxury jumbo jet from Qatar. Here's the kicker: Just five years ago, Bondi earned $115,000 a month as a registered lobbyist for the government of Qatar. Nothing to see here, folks!

Last week, Trump fired the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC regulates the safety of everyday consumer products. Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"? Amazon. Follow the money.

According to Farm Action, just four corporations control 85% of the beef industry. They each own multiple brands to help create the "illusion of choice." Wondering why food prices are high? Minimal competition and lax antitrust enforcement means maximized price-gouging.

Trump wants the rich to be richer, unions to be weaker, and everyone else to be easier to exploit. He's not ushering in a New Golden Age. He's taking us back to the Gilded Age.

Since taking office, Donald Trump has declared eight national emergencies to justify his radical agenda. But there is only one real national emergency: Trump himself.

“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up.” The movie ‘A Bug’s Life’ has a lot to teach us about power.

A recent FTC report found that the "Big Three" pharmacy benefit managers — middlemen for 80% of prescriptions — jacked up the price of lifesaving medications by as much as 7,736%. The result? $7.3 billion in extra revenue from 2017 through 2022.
