We cannot separate what has happened to working people over the last five decades from the dangerous lure of Trumpism. To build a path forward, we must debunk these 10 destructive myths about our rigged economy.

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good. Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year. So much for all that talk about "efficiency."

It's the latest big company to back away from its diversity pledges to keep the U.S. government happy.

On FB I asked: “Who do you blame for Walmart raising prices because of tariffs” You wouldn’t believe how many morons are saying ‘Walmart.’

Please tell me our congress is standing up to this nonsense?

Trump is Disgusting

We are no longer Democrats or Republicans. We are either patriots fighting the Trump regime or we are complicit in its tyranny. There is no middle ground. Now is the time for all of us to become activists. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-start-of-week-14

Bill Maher's retell of his dinner with Trump is confirmation that we are all being played. Stop feeding into his dumb downed facade. We need to continually address and bring to light for the MAGA cult, the man behind the curtain is NOT the great and powerful Oz. It's all an act!! Wake up!

We are in awe over the Hands Off Protests from April 5th. An incredible 5.2 MILLION people came out to make their voices heard and take back our democracy. We have to continue the hard work. With April 19th on the horizon, we encourage you to take more action. Build community. 🧵

Nice win!!

Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is now the most expensive court race in U.S. history — largely due to donations from out-of-state billionaires. As Justice Louis Brandeis said, we can have great wealth in the hands of a few, or we can have democracy, but we can't have both.

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

Our government has spent $100,000 a person to hold migrants at the Gitmo concentration camp for less than six weeks. That's about $17,000/week for each migrant. They could have stayed at a Ritz-Carlton for that. What's this you say about government waste and efficiency, Elon?

U.S. corporate profits surged to a record high in Q4 2024, according to Commerce Department data. Remember this as Trump tries to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. Corporations have used inflation as cover to price-gouge us. Trump wants them to keep more of the spoils.

Trump has dropped over 100 enforcement actions against corporations. That includes 10 corporations that have donated to or allied with him — like SpaceX, crypto corporation Coinbase, and private prison corporation GEO Group. This is corruption of the highest degree.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5. This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration. Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration. This is who Trump governs for.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

Is nobody wondering why Trump is doing all this for Russia? What is he getting in return? Will Russia be invading US soon. Using military force to help put the American people in line for King Trump? What's next????

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.
