Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp helped define today’s social media landscape—and this decision shows how difficult it is to unwind consolidation years later. 1/

Donald Trump’s Administration is fueled by unabashed corruption, while representatives in both parties in Congress continue to enrich themselves through stock trading.

This needs to stop. Period.

Democrats have been doing a good job holding the line in the shutdown. And the one-two of No Kings protests and electoral wins will add strength to their spine.

The American people don’t like what’s going on. They blame the party in charge. Fighting back has more political appeal than appeasement.

My sister just got her Covered California premium notice: from $1100/mo to $2600/mo. A friend in the industry said the actuaries are expecting a lot healthy people to drop their medical coverage, so people who depend on the healthcare system to stay alive will pay even more.

1/ America’s facing an affordability crisis, and families everywhere are feeling the strain – whether it’s in their daily expenses, or the impossible choices many are forced to make just to make ends meet.

1/ Most people are not judging the state of the economy by GDP—they’re judging it by the cost of their weekly groceries or rent.

We’re living through an affordability crisis, and today, we’re releasing a framework to help make sense of this reality + chart a different path forward.

Is politics weighing on you? Does it ever make you feel alone, like "everyone" is on board with awful things and "no one" cares (or close)?

Then you should go to a No Kings protest. That feeling isn't uncommon, but it's a trick. Go be around some of the many people who agree with you. You'll see.
