Billionaires are holding record wealth.
Corporations are raking in record profits.
Working families are struggling to afford groceries, gas, rent, and healthcare.
And Trump's first priority is spending $5 trillion on tax breaks mostly benefiting billionaires and corporations.
The CATO Institute, DOGE's favorite think tank, is out with a new op-ed today calling for Musk's pet project to "reform" Social Security & Medicare.
We dug a little deeper into CATO's DOGE agenda. Their recommendation for reform?
Defund Social Security, Medicare, and more. 🧵
NEW: @JusticeATR suing RealPage and corporate landlords is the right move. Their disturbing pricing schemes are costing renters billions – $3.8 billion in 2023 to be exact according to @WhiteHouseCEA.
Statement from @owenslindsay1:
Love how these enforcers won’t stop till the very last day fighting powerful interests. Acting AAG Doha Mekki not missing a beat as she runs through the tape.
This is huge. Algorithmic pricing in housing costs tenants BILLIONS a year. Both RealPage and corporate landlords should be held accountable.

A friendly reminder: The TCJA worsened economic inequality, especially for Black Americans.
It’s time for policymakers to rethink the tax code. 💸 https://x.com/Groundwork/status/1876699574619738187
Good day to remember just how much those at the top got from Trump's tax law, while everyday Americans got crumbs.
It's always been a giveaway to the wealthy.
This rule banning medical debt will remove $49 billion of medical bills from the credit reports of 15 million Americans.
Medical debt shouldn't be weaponized against people.
đź‘Źfor @chopracfpb & @CFPB.
The GOP tax agenda doubles down on 2017’s failed policies:
❌Tax giveaways for the wealthy and corporations
❌Starving public investments of key revenue
❌Broken promises to everyday Americans
We need a fair tax code that puts people first—not corporate profits.
Algorithmic pricing cost renters $3.6 billion last year according to @WhiteHouseCEA.
It's time to put a stop to this collusive behavior.
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
🎯
It doesn't matter if it's two bills or one "big, beautiful bill." The contents are ugly: Massive tax giveaways to the wealthy and corporations at the expense of everyone else.
With Republicans deeply engaged in process questions on how to move their tax bill -- it's seems like a good day to recall how bad the substance is -- first, it's skewed in favor of rich people, despite all the working-class rhetoric of the campaign:
The @FTC's click-to-cancel rule puts a stop to the predatory pricing model that is subscriptions.
We applaud @linakhanFTC's action and are excited to see this new rule go into effect. đź‘Ź
