“That’s what we’re seeing with the disparity in how the C-suite is treated in the courts, and how regular people are treated in the streets.” Former FTC Commissioner @bedoyausa.bsky.social exposes Trump’s two-tiered justice system.

who knew all this time the inequality guy just wanted 3 dollars

I'm biased but check out @rbreich.bsky.social's great memoir hitting stores today. Terrific book w/ fascinating stories about the last half-century in American politics, from someone who had a front-row seat to all of it.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for speaking out against Paramount’s capitulation to Donald Trump. I’ve always enjoyed his work — especially The Colbert Report. Here’s a clip from when I was a guest back in 2010.

Who else thinks we should ban members of Congress from trading stocks?

As Trump and his allies in Congress try to gut public funding for PBS, watch this 1971 clip of Rev. Jesse Jackson and the kids of Sesame Street. This is why we need public broadcasting.

Christopher Reeve (Superman) on Donald Trump in the 1980s: "It's the American dream gone berserk. You're allowed to dream as big as you want, but if your dreams step on the lives of ordinary people and ruin the quality of their life and their neighborhood, you have to be stopped."

In NY, homeowners are 2x as likely to vote as tenants. Unless there are pro-tenant policies on the ballot, that is, like a rent freeze. In the mayoral race @tenantbloc.bsky.social tried to awaken the untapped potential of tenants as a political bloc. Read @thomasbirm.bsky.social on this strategy ⬇️

This is really all you need to know about WelcomeFest

Should corporations be able to weaponize your personal data to rip you off? Well, they may already be doing that thanks to a shady tactic called “surveillance pricing.” Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains what we can do about it. youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?...

Great clip of @emmavigeland.bsky.social breaking down my colleague @merryvishmas.bsky.social and I's article on the backers of WelcomeFest on @majorityreport.bsky.social

It's actually smart and savvy to tell voters your party has no principles and will roll over for any rich asshole willing to cut you a check.

Wondering who's behind WelcomePAC, the group organizing tomorrow's Abundance Coachella? Wonder no longer! Reid Hoffman, Walmart heirs, Michael Bloomberg, and Joe Manchin's daughter's astroturf org, to name a few.

WelcomeFest is tomorrow and it features a lineup of pundit all-stars including Matthew Yglesias, Adam Jentleson, Derek Thompson and Richie Torres. My colleague @merryvishmas.bsky.social and I put together a quick explainer of who is behind the summer's hottest centrism conference

A leaked Wall Street memo confirms that privatizing the Post Office would mean higher prices, mass layoffs, and worse service — especially for rural America.

The "abundance agenda" has offered shelter to effective altruists, who have been searching for a flag to rally around that isn’t associated with one of the largest frauds in world history.

This will be bad. A for profit business will only deliver to places where it’s profitable. And a lot of people rely on the post office - and don’t live in urban centres.

DeJoy and Musk are deploying Wall Street's playbook for privatizing the Postal Service. The only winners will be greedy fat cats like them. Anyone who depends on affordable, reliable, and universal mail service will suffer.

A leaked Wells Fargo memo lays out in disturbing detail how corporate investors could profit from a privatized Postal Service at your expense. Read more from @merryvishmas.bsky.social ⬇️

"If they follow through their threats to privatize the Postal Service, Musk and Trump will be attacking an American institution older than the country itself." - @merryvishmas.bsky.social

NEW: A leaked Wells Fargo report reveals how Big Business could reap a windfall if Trump privatizes the Postal Service. Our @merryvishmas.bsky.social explains how privatization would hurt workers, consumers, small businesses, and rural communities — all to enrich corporate investors.

How should we address the outrage at our healthcare system? Is the antitrust revolution here to stay? What's Manchinema's next move? And who's running the show in Trump 2.0? We break it all down on this week's Coffee Klatch. youtu.be/wJ-I5R_TazY?...

NEW: It's Time to Punch Some Corporate Villains Our Emma Marsano argues in @tnr.bsky.social that Biden could generate more voter enthusiasm by calling out specific corporations and executives—and then actually cracking down on their harmful actions.

Larry Summers helped legitimize Digital Currency Group, a crypto firm with ties to several sketchy businesses. Last Friday, they had to be ordered by a SDNY Judge to comply with an SEC subpoena. Read our statement here: therevolvingdoorproject.org/release-corp...

BigLaw firm Jones Day is notorious for its close ties to the Trump admin and work for Big Tobacco, Big Pharma, and the Bin Ladens. You can now add predatory payday lenders trying to gut the CFPB to that list. My latest for @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social

NEW: Jones Day helped pick Trump's SCOTUS nominees, gut federal anti-bribery laws, and shielded both Big Tobacco and the Bin Laden family from legal accountability. Their latest shameless crusade? Helping payday lenders try to kill the CFPB. therevolvingdoorproject.org/payday-lende...

NEW: In two weeks, predatory payday lenders could get the Supreme Court to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for good. Backing their lawsuit are several GOP lawmakers-turned-lobbyists, including Trent Lott, Tom Price, and John Boehner. therevolvingdoorproject.org/gop-cfpb-ami...

NEW: In light of a new @propublica.bsky.social report revealing Clarence Thomas' ties to the Koch Network, we are calling on Thomas to recuse himself from an upcoming Koch-backed SCOTUS case concerning the CFPB's funding structure. therevolvingdoorproject.org/clarence-tho...
