Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.
It didn't matter.
Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Post-No Kings, this plus Noem’s private jets are giving off some very blatant “let them eat cake” vibes.
Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?
Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Estimated about 10,000 people at the Naperville #NoKings rally. Both pastors who spoke said we can’t go back to the way things were. We need to build a better country for everyone. Tons of cute dogs. A bunch of us helped someone push their stalled car out of an intersection. It was great.
