Corporate monopolies aren’t just bad for business — they’re bad for your wallet. Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel. They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands. Keep up the fight.

Trump is coming to take everything you have, your rights, your freedom, your future. And when he's stripped you of it all, you'll be left with nothing but him, holding the keys to your survival. That's his plan, to make you beg for what was already yours. He wants to be king, and you? Just his pawn.

“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve. This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme. Hello?

I appreciate a correct headline: Our President Is A Global Embarrassment

The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.” But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children. If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023. Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.
