Market concentration → Less competition → Higher prices for consumers → Corporate profits at 70-year high → Record stock buybacks → Higher shareholder value → More power for corporations and the rich.
How do we fight back? Break up monopolies and rebuild union power.

New tax plan released by R’s
Low-income earners, including many single-parents, would pay a higher tax under the proposal because refundable credits are reduced or restricted, while tax cuts for higher earners are expanded and made permanent.
That’s not a talking point — it’s how the math works.🤬

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.
If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Trump says the U.S. took out a 'big facility' in Venezuela amid strikes on alleged drug boats
The president did not provide details about the apparent strike, which NBC News has not independently confirmed.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.
