Thanks to Trump’s billionaire & corporate tax giveaway, some of the largest corporations are saving billions of dollars this tax season.
The biggest winners? Big Tech, retailers, drugmakers, manufacturers, & telecom giants. Meanwhile, working families struggle to afford
"Some of the country’s wealthiest corporations are calculating they owe far less to the Internal Revenue Service as a result of President Donald Trump’s overhauled tax code, underscoring how a law billed as a middle‑class cut also turned out to be a big win for Corporate America"
We exposed Instacart’s experimental pricing schemes and two weeks later, they shut them down.
Our @owenslindsay1 called out Hershey’s for using worse ingredients but raising prices. Now, they’re walking it back.
That’s the power of calling out companies for gouging consumers.
A sweet victory--and a lesson for companies. Skimping and cutting corners may help your bottom line in the short term, but it can backfire. Americans are sick and tired of higher prices and lower quality.
Thanks to Trump’s war in Iran, gas prices are skyrocketing.
🚨 But here’s the bigger story: Diesel prices are up nearly 50% since the start of the war.
That means the cost of everything – not just gas – is about to get a lot more expensive.
Last week, @Groundwork's @EmDiVito detailed how hundreds of thousands of borrowers are facing collection of "zombie" loans they thought were long gone.
Today, @SenWarren is demanding answers from Russ Vought for dropping the ball.

If Hormuz remains close the price of oil and refined products could rise to $200, $250, $300 per barrel or any number.
OkCupid, Hinge, & Tinder handed ~3M user photos — plus location & demographic data — to a facial recognition company.
Then they lied about it for years. The FTC's punishment? $0 & a promise not to do it again.
@EmDiVito: "You're not the customer. You're the product."
This is all entirely before any of the global energy, fertilizer, food, plastic, helium, etc. price shocks get baked in.
14 million Americans are already severely behind on utilities bills. 1 in 3 is cutting back on food or medicine to cover their gas & electricity bills.
Trump promised to cut energy prices in half within his first year in office.
He has done the exact opposite.

Breaking news: The average price of gasoline in the U.S. is now more than $4 a gallon, the first time it has reached that level since 2022.

Sony just got caught running pricing experiments on their customers. They’re testing how much they can charge before you bail on your cart, and using that information to set their prices.
In other words, they’re building a pricing system that’s designed to rip you off. Our
