Between 1978 and 2022:

-Worker pay grew by 15%

Major US CEOs are now paid 344 times more than their typical employees.

When I say corporate CEOs are exploiting labor, this is what I mean.

Republicans don't mind debt forgiveness when it's THEIR debt. Trump declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy 6 times.

MTG was happy to get her $180K PPP loan forgiven.

But when middle-class and poor Americans need help paying for an education, suddenly debt relief is out of the question.

“William Claude Jones spent his life wielding his power over women and over girls and their bodies with complete tyrannical domination,' says Chris Hayes on the man behind the Arizona abortion ban. 'And that is exactly the kind of ‘history and tradition’ that Samuel Alito and…

Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

And fewer competitors means higher prices for you.

NEW from David Dayen: Republicans are objectively pro-junk fee.

Republicans have filed resolutions opposing Biden’s cap on credit card late fees.

Soon every Republican will be put on-record—will they support raising credit card fees on the American people? prospect.org/politics/2024-…

The super-rich: “We worked hard for everything we have!”

Reality:

Trump tried to keep relevant information from voters on the eve of the 2016 election. This trial is about the integrity of our election system.

Don’t call it the “hush money” case. bit.ly/3JcOcGO

Some of you ask why I add illustrations to many of my posts. Well, I’ve been drawing and writing ever since I can remember — the two have almost always gone together. It gives me great joy to share both with you. Some thoughts... bit.ly/43SCISh

IRS funding is a good thing because it helps the agency go after rich tax cheats.

Because they care more about their rich benefactors than you.

44 million Americans — including 13 million children — are food insecure.

Guns are the leading cause of death for children in America.

If Republicans really cared about 'protecting children' or the 'sanctity of life,' they wouldn't oppose Biden's effort to close the “gun show loophole” that allows firearms to be purchased without a background check.

Just leaving this here for the Republicans lying about the Trump tax cuts today...

For the 7th time this year, MAGA extremists killed the GOP’s own bill by voting no on the “rule” to advance it. This time it was a renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act—all because Trump wrongly claimed it was used against his campaign. The GOP is pure dysfunction.

Two of the Arizona Supreme Court justices who voted to reimpose the state's 1864 abortion law will be up for retention in November.

Sadly, a lot of voters have historically not paid much attention to down-ballot elections.

Something tells me that's about to change.

'People are seeing prices increase… What would your simple advice be for the Biden administration?'

I got asked this question on NBC News. Here's what I said.

This is why Trump wants to cut Social Security.

So he can take a lifetime of earned benefits away from working people and gift them to the rich.

It's reverse Robin Hood.
