It's time to demand a tax system that works for everyone.
Funeral planning must often happen quickly & at one of the worst moments of people's lives. That's why @FTC's Funeral Rule requires that funeral providers give out price information over the phone.
Our team did an undercover sweep to identify violations:
The real story here is that Republicans wants us to debate baselines and budget rules instead of talking about whether or not it's a good idea to spend $4 or $5 or $6 trillion on tax breaks that mainly go to the rich.
Trump’s proposed tariffs could spark a wave of price hikes, with companies passing costs to consumers—and using tariffs as cover to boost profits.
As @owenslindsay1 warns: “It’s a vicious circle for prices and a virtuous circle for corporate profits.”

If we want to bring down grocery prices, we must take on corporate consolidation.
Retailers like Big Lots, Macy's, and TJX jacked up credit card interest rates to record highs before the Fed began cutting rates. They’ve turned store-branded cards into cash cows, all while pretending it’s about helping you ‘buy now, pay later.’
Proposals to extend the 2017 tax cuts permanent and further slash corporate tax rates mean the bottom 95% of Americans could face higher taxes—while billionaires continue to pay a fraction of their fair share.
