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.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

The new NCI director told staff that "the administration is not backing away" from cancer research and the NCI just a day after a study came out showing the Trump assault on NIH/NCI and science in general had disrupted more than 100 cancer clinical trials.
Once more from yesterday, I obtained a recording of the new NCI director’s first town hall.
New NCI Director Says Administration Overtly Hostile to Cancer Research Is "Not Backing Away" From Cancer Research

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.
This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
