Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions.
They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.
We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.
This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Just the sort of muddy anecdotal waters that could usefully be clarified by an actual government jobs report
Fed's Jefferson: Anecdotal reports about the job market have been mixed; some firms have slowed hiring or cut back, others are adding employees and investing.

Remember: An estimated 70% of congressional Republicans may financially benefit from the tax cuts in their Big Ugly Bill.
While cutting Medicaid and food stamps for millions — including many of their own constituents — these lawmakers may be enriching themselves.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

It doesn't take a lot of imagination to imagine a world where the Republican congress develops some moral conviction and holds the president accountable, yet we've seen plenty of examples where the weight of bad decisions carry us towards more. Praying for moral conviction for all of us.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.
