NEW: Ever feel like everything takes longer, costs more, and leaves you more frustrated than it should? That’s not a coincidence. We call it the Annoyance Economy, and it costs American families $165 billion a year in wasted time and money. 👇

🔥 @AOC is exactly right: The whole concept of a "free market" completely falls away when only 4 companies control the majority of an industry. Watch her question Groundwork's @MikeDMitchell2 about extreme corporate consolidation ⬇️

Fed officials are now projecting that Trump's chaos will lead to higher unemployment, faster inflation, and slow growth - the perfect recipe for staglation.

WATCH: Sen. Wyden criticizes Treasury nominee Bessent for avoiding nearly a MILLION dollars in Medicare taxes. "It's a tax loophole that hurts Medicare but benefits him to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars each year."

If only someone could have warned us about the impact of rolling back Dodd-Frank... Oh right, here's @SenWarren in 2018 with a prediction about the next financial crisis and bank bailout — and how families will again pay the price.

.@RBReich is exactly right: The underlying problem is not inflation. It’s corporate power. Watch this great explainer about how corporate greed, profiteering & concentration are key drivers of rising prices.

In the last two years, Moderna made $19 billion in profits. Its CEO is worth an estimated $6.1 billion. Profiteering during a public health crisis is wildly unacceptable & it's time to hold them accountable.

I sent a letter today to the CEO of Moderna with a simple message: In the midst of a public health crisis, quadrupling the price of a publicly-funded COVID-19 vaccine is unacceptable corporate greed.

NEW: @USTreasury confirms what we already knew – extending Trump's tax law almost exclusively benefits the wealthy. The top 0.1% of Americans get a tax giveaway of $314,000. 💰 75 million families would get less than $1 a day. 🚨

🔥 WATCH: @SenWarren burns a hole through Powell's plan to spur massive unemployment to control inflation, saying he is gambling with people's lives: “And putting 2 million people out of work is just part of the cost, and they just have to bear it?”

We've been saying this for a long time & we're glad to see it in print: Huge corporations are using the pandemic, supply chain issues & the war in Ukraine as excuses to raise prices on consumers to make record profits & reward rich CEOs & shareholders.

NEW: Corporate profits drove 53% of inflation during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023. Corporations line their pockets while consumers pay the price. Why? Because they can. Quick thread on our new report. 1/6

The CATO Institute, DOGE's favorite think tank, is out with a new op-ed today calling for Musk's pet project to "reform" Social Security & Medicare. We dug a little deeper into CATO's DOGE agenda. Their recommendation for reform? Defund Social Security, Medicare, and more. 🧵

Strengthening our supply chains and reining in corporate profiteering go hand-in-hand in bringing down prices for workers and families.

"Let me be clear, to any corporation that has not brought their prices back down, even as inflation has come down, even as supply chains have been rebuilt: It's time to stop the price gouging."

Making corporations and the wealthy pay what they owe isn't just morally right — it's also popular. According to @NavigatorSurvey polling, overwhelming majorities want Congress to raise taxes on billionaires & corporations instead of cutting vital programs that help families.
