According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

“If you want to understand why things have gotten so expensive, you need to understand middlemen, and why they may have too much power.” @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social sheds light on the companies sitting between sellers and consumers, and getting rich while doing it.

Meet the Connectors - The American Prospect
Middlemen, our economy’s most shadowy characters, sit in between buyers and sellers and get rich in the process. It can even be a matter of life or death.

Everyone knows that our current health care system is broken.
That’s why over 60% of the American people support Medicare for All.
The day will come when every man, woman and child in this country will have health care as a human right.
We’re going to win this fight.

During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Corporations are looking to AI for their pricing, feeding it user data that could jack up prices for customers they can take advantage of. @ddayen.bsky.social reports on what he terms “surveillance pricing.”

AI’s real contribution to humanity could be maximizing corporate profit by preying on personal data to raise prices. In fact, it’s already happening.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social hired former FTC Chair Lina Khan to run his transition team. She's an excellent pick with an eye for rooting out how big corporations are making your life unaffordable. One way they're doing that? Surveillance pricing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cbtUYshYM8

I spent years spouting conspiracy theories about vaccines. Now, as measles rages in my home of Alberta, I’m trying to convince vax-hesitant parents to inoculate their kids.
