AI is coming for your health. Health insurers are using AI to decide when patients are discharged from hospitals, whether they get diagnostic tests, or how many weeks of rehab they’re entitled to. It's all about maximizing profit by minimizing care.

One year into the GOP's tax law and billionaires are doing better than ever. Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla reported $315 billion in U.S. profits for 2025 (+30% from 2024) but they paid less than 5% of that in federal corporate income taxes.

Trump's billionaire tax cut law? Paid for by, in part, students trying to afford an education. 40% of Americans will likely be denied private student loans because they do not meet income and credit score requirements.

Ticket prices — from concerts to the World Cup — have exploded over the last decade, in part, thanks to Live Nation's monopoly of the market. Live Nation's level of control enables them to pile on junk fees every time someone buys a ticket.

The U.S. may be knocked out of the World Cup, but FIFA's pricing scam is still in play. This year's World Cup is the most expensive for fans in history — a choice FIFA made. The house always win, which means the fans always lose.

Thanks to the GOP's tax law, some Americans are now going hungry. ~2.4 million people will be cut out completely from SNAP benefits. And that doesn't even include the ~18 million kids who could lose access to free school meals.

Sky-rocketing gas prices has a new culprit: AI. A new lawsuit alleges that Kalibrate, the AI-pricing software used by more than 1,700 gas stations, pushed up gas prices an extra $0.30 a gallon! These companies are going bigger on their price fixing schemes because they think no one is watching.

It's been one year since the GOP passed their deadly tax law. We're not being glib when we say deadly: 3.8M people have lost Medicaid & CHIP coverage +1,000 hospitals & nursing homes have shut down or are at risk 40 maternity wards, 30 nursing homes, & +360 clinics have shut down

Remember when egg prices were breaking news? Turns out the largest egg producers were planning a price-fixing scheme. And the family behind the top producer raked in $320M from selling their company just weeks later. Their trick worked, and they cashed in big time.

Imagine if every stretch of interstate were owned by a different company that only planned for its own patch and earned more the more it spent. That's our power grid today. We coordinated the highways through federal planning, and we can do the same for the grid.

We’ve all received a robocall or spam text promising us an investment that’s too good to be true. @nealemahoney.bsky.social & Chad Maisel found that Americans get 4 billion scam & illegal marketing calls each month, or over **130 million a day.** That's a symptom of the annoyance economy.

"Affordability vs. climate" is a false choice, and one that utilities and Big Tech profit from. Public power could finance clean energy and the grid to move it — cutting bills and emissions at the same time.

Low-income households spend more than triple the amount of their income on energy compared to higher-income households. Our new "energy for all" proposal would help gap the disparity and actually tax Big Tech for their power usage.

NEW: AI data centers and decarbonization are driving the largest increase in electricity demand in 50 years. Who's paying for the grid upgrades? You are. And that’s not a coincidence - it's the system working as designed. We have a bold solution.

Congressional Republicans handed corporations & billionaires billions of dollars in tax windfalls – all of it paid for by cutting on essential programs that everyday Americans rely on. Now, 50% say the law helps wealthy Americans & big corporations more than people like them.

70% believe Trump & Republicans have made it harder to afford groceries. 67% are concerned that nearly 4 million Americans have lost SNAP benefits as a result of the law.

61% say the law’s health care cuts are not worth the $300-on-average boost to tax refunds. 70% are concerned that 5 million Americans are losing health insurance as a result of OBBBA’s cuts. And 75% are concerned about insurance premium hikes.

Trump's tax law was the largest cut in Medicaid history, & now millions of Americans are losing access to health care. No surprise that a majority of voters say Trump & Congressional Republicans have made it harder to afford health care in the past year.

The more coffee Geoffrey Fowler ordered at Starbucks, the fewer discounts he got. "My loyalty was working against me." Companies from Tinder to Staples use the same techniques to gouge their customers.

🚨 NEW from us and @tcfdotorg.bsky.social: Working families are paying 20% more for ground beef, 22% more for ice pops, and watching their cities cancel fireworks thanks to Trump's tariffs. Happy 250th, America. 🎆

New & important op-ed from @lindsayowens.bsky.social on autonomous AI "helpers:" As we careen into the agentic AI era, there is a glaring catch: they operate with none of the rules, obligations, & guardrails governing their human equivalents. Are they on your side?

🚨NEW: Americans pay 2.78x more for prescription drugs than the world average. 1 in 5 insured Americans go without necessary prescriptions because of cost. Today, we released 2 blueprints to fix it saving Americans up to $18 billion a year on prescription drugs.

Ticket pricing in the U.S. is broken, thanks in part to ticket monopolies like LiveNation. FIFA's president had a choice: stick with the flat pricing system used at every previous World Cup, or bring America's dynamic pricing model to the world's biggest tournament. He chose gouging fans.

The Trump admin isn't just picking winners & losers - it's building an investment portfolio. "These deals come with very little oversight & what seems to be a tremendous amount of corruption," @alexsjacquez.bsky.social in @usnews.com.

Sorry, dads. Trump's economy is coming for your Father's Day. Steaks, BBQ gear, and grooming essentials are all more expensive this year thanks to Trump's economic chaos. Hope Dad wasn't expecting a ribeye.

FIFA has made the choice to make this year's World Cup unaffordable for the very taxpayers that footed the bill to make it a reality. By segmenting fans by wealth, a tournament historically defined by its unifying power is becoming yet another gated corner, writes @lindsayowens.bsky.social.

US host cities spent millions in taxpayer money to bring the World Cup here. The cheapest ticket to watch your team in your own city: +$1,000 on average. Working families paid for this tournament. They just can't attend it.

@businessinsider.com's @emilystewart.bsky.social investigated StubHub's use of dynamic pricing: The same tickets, viewed at the same time on the same site by different people, saw a cost variance of +$40. Stubhub just shrugged in response.

"It's a consistent and constant anxiety that things are getting more expensive and their paychecks aren't stretching as far as they used to." WATCH: @alexsjacquez.bsky.social break down the rising economic uncertainty on @msnowreports.bsky.social.

We ran the polling and found 76% of Americans believe surveillance pricing is inherently unfair. @lindsayowens.bsky.social makes it clear: “Price stability is important for consumers. It’s impossible to comparison shop if prices are shifting.” www.forbes.com/advisor/cred...
