Health care policy in 2026 isn't 2020's health care policy.
Case in point: @vox just spotlighted AmericaRx — our plan for a public drug manufacturer that was designed to serve patients, not shareholders.
The FTC says it'll enforce surveillance pricing. But according to its own Chairman, not really.
That's not good enough, says @owenslindsay1.
"It shouldn’t be on consumers to navigate the fine print and sniff out if they’re being played. A disclosed price can still be an unfair
Homeownership rates – especially among young Americans – are falling.
The median cost to buy a home has soared to +$400,000 in just 6 years.
The entry-level market is more myth than fact.
We have a solution – harking back to the days when homes were affordable.
After we released our study finding that Instacart was charging different prices for the same goods from the same store at the same time, the FTC launched an investigation.
Now, it says this type of pricing might break the law.
But it's not enough: We need stronger regulation.
Parents across the country are calculating just how much they can afford to spend on school supplies, but the math isn't easy.
We found with @TCFdotorg that the cost of school supplies has risen nearly 8% since last year.
Students are going without, thanks to Trump's tariffs.
This piece pairs well with the WSJ article today on costs. Medicare for All is the path forward on coverage. But we need to rein in costs, increase supply, and crack down on profiteering. Good roundup on smart proposals being put forward, including @Groundwork's AmericaRx
A rideshare app charges you a higher price to go to the hospital because it has data indicating you are having a heart attack.
According to @AFergusonFTC, the problem is not admitting they’re charging you more because you might die, not that they’re doing it in the first place
THE PRESIDENT IS NOW ADMITTING THAT TARIFFS, IN FACT, DO RAISE PRICES FOR AMERICANS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
I think it’s pretty reasonable for bond yields to be rising given the largest economy in the world is being mismanaged by a madman
In the early 1900s, families could order their first homes from a Sears catalog.
What if that “house in a box” model could help solve today’s housing crisis?
Our new plan takes a page from Sears to build more starter homes, faster and for less.
The FTC's new policy buries a catch in the footnotes: Companies can keep using surveillance pricing as long as they disclose it.
@owenslindsay1: "It shouldn't be on consumers to navigate the fine print & sniff out if they're being played. A disclosed price can still be unfair."
Gas prices have hit record highs in August due to President Trump’s war in Iran, with no resolution in sight.
@AlexSJacquez joined @onthelinemsnow with @AliciaMenendez to discuss the American people’s complete loss of confidence in Trump’s ability to handle rising costs.
The FTC just announced it's seeking public comment on curbing surveillance pricing.
@owenslindsay1: "Despite calling surveillance pricing a 'made up' term, Chairman Ferguson has finally woken up to the fact that companies are trying to pull a fast one on American shoppers."
Chairman Ferguson seems to have realized the error of his ways in closing up shop on the FTC's surveillance pricing investigation as one of his first acts in office.
But today's policy statement makes it clear he plans to let companies off the hook as long as they bury in the
As young families are increasingly priced out of the housing market, policy researchers at @Groundwork are pushing a bold new proposal to build 500,000 high quality mass-produced homes in order to drive down costs.
